The Launcher holds three foam missiles that resemble miniature NERF darts that you played with when you were a kid. After installing the program provided with the launcher, I was ready to go in just a matter of minutes.
The missile launcher application couldn't be any more user friendly. It has all the essential buttons for controlling the launcher, a radar screen that lets you see how much further you can move the turret in any direction, a reset button to recalibrate the turret position, and an exit button.
You can control the launcher by clicking on the appropriate buttons or using the arrow keys. If you don't have the sound effects disabled a sound is played resembling that of a real turret moving. Pressing the fire button causes the launcher to enter its firing sequence where it charges the air up and shoots the missile.
During this three second period you also hear a warning sound that I can only imagine is what you would hear with an ICBM launching followed by an explosion as the missile launches and hits its target. After three shots it is time to gather the darts back up and do it again... and again... and again! The missiles shoot a solid 15 feet and then skill becomes a factor trying to lob the missiles to your target.
