    "Sky Sweeper"

    OOO YESSS!!! Would nice to have an electric beam that was like a fence around my place. When a bad guy would break the beam, he would have a 75mm of fully automatic can of woop ass opened up on himself! This would even work on the pesky neighbor's dog that has been trained to crap in my yard...
