Handheld LED lights are great for illumination, but not so great as weaponry, until now. Called the Bedazzler, this device is essentially an LED-based incapacitator that causes nausea. Video after the break.
A great Arduino project for people who really like blinking LEDs. We also added in a mode selection so you can put it into some pretty color-swirl modes, great for raves and parties.

Snipers ocassionally get sent on missions that can last for days, and taking their eyes off the target for even a few milliseconds to get hydrated could be disastrous. This cup holder attachment aims to solve that problem.
When I’m hidden away, waiting for a high-value target to come out of his hideout so I can put a bullet in his head from 300 yards, I always want a place to put my Fresca.
