    Flying Duck Hunter Robot Will Appease PETA But Not Your Cold, Killing Instincts

    Who wants to hunt some ducks? I said, WHO WANTS TO HUNT SOME DUCKS??

    Available this spring, the Duck Hunter is like a WowWee Dragonfly mixed with a lightgun shooting game. The duck launches from your IR blaster, charging in just 10 seconds from a few AAs in the pistol. When the poor, robotic duck takes flight autonomously (and some may say, with a soul), you shoot away until you hit the bird three times. Then it dies.

    A base version of the Duck Hunter (as described above) will run $30 while a premium version (including a controller so one person can actually fly the duck while another shoots) will cost $40.
