Unless you’re doing Olympic-caliber mental gymnastics, wearing a mask during the pandemic is a no-brainer. a good deal and the easiest way to help minimize the spread of the coronavirus. Some, however, have resistance, which inspired Allen Pan to invent a gun that soon puts a mask on the face of those who do not take this whole thing seriously.
It just hasn’t been easy to convince the American people to mask, so Pan decided to take an approach that utilizes one of the things most Americans love above all else: guns. Using parts of a car’s brake line, use a pistol grip in spray can paint, some custom electronics, and a solenoid valve to control the flow of a busy CO2 canister, Pan made a handheld blaster that looks like something straight from a Mad Max filmbut hopefully this weapon will help stop the apocalypse.
Even with the addition of an actual laser scope that projects a green dot onto a target that is not well educated about the benefits of wearing a mask, the mask gun is aimed at the most challenging part of use. After what initial success during testing, the accuracy of the blaster took a steep nose dive, as the wonky aerodynamics of a face mask on four projectiles make its trajectory almost unpredictable. Functionally, the Mask Gun works just like that cannons launching nets to strike drones from the air, but the mask works instead like a sail like a parachute designed to catch the wind, and even with a laser scope, objective is almost completely random.
But it is not an idea without merit. Vending machines offering PPE have started popping up in malls and other places where crowds gather, but they are optional. If shopping center would deploy armed bonds instead if these face mask blasters were burned, the number of people wearing voluntary masks would inevitably increase dramatically.
