GoKawiilShov Website Lets Users Fire Remote-Controlled Pneumatic Guns Online for Money
A new website called Shov lets visitors pay to remotely aim and fire real pneumatic weapons loaded with .68-caliber rubber 'less lethal' rounds at targets in a physical firing range, all through a web browser. Users buy credits—$5 for five shots—and control one of twelve gun turrets shown via live video feed, competing to hit targets that change color when struck.
The launch arrives as remote-controlled and autonomous weapons increasingly appear in real conflicts, from targeted assassinations to drone warfare in Ukraine, raising uneasy parallels between entertainment and battlefield technology. Even though the munitions are officially 'less lethal,' such rounds have caused deaths and serious injuries when used by police, making the gamification of remote weapon firing ethically fraught. It also raises questions about normalizing weapon use as casual online entertainment.
- Shov lets users remotely fire real pneumatic guns online for a fee via live video feed.
- The weapons use .68-caliber rubber rounds that have caused deaths and injuries in police use.
- The concept echoes broader trends of remote and autonomous weapons appearing in modern warfare.
