The radio-controlled Spyfire blaster is like an upgraded version of the Wireless USB Missile Launcher – now allowing you to fire it from up to 25 feet away instead of 15.

Not only is it a powerful, battery powered, 4 shot blaster capable of blasting up to 25 feet away – but the handle can separate from the rest of the blaster. You can set the blaster up with its integrated, folding tripod and set it to cover your escape path.

Here’s a video demonstration of the R/C toy in action:

Features:

• Powerful 4 dart blaster
• Stores extra ammo in handle
• Flip-up sight and fold down tripod
• Electronic power-up and firing sound effects with each shot
• R/C range: up to 50 feet
• Shoots up to 25 feet

The Spyfire R/C Blaster measures 3 x 12 x 10 inches and requires 5 x AAA batteries. The product is available from the ThinkGeek website for $29.99.

Membrane boosters and a few pumps will allow you to send these lightweight foam nosed missiles up to an amazing 500 feet in the air.

Air Burst technology incorporates an entirely new ‘burst membrane’ booster system that creates tremendous launching power far superior to other air rockets.

Air Burst generates an amazing model rocketry experience far more safely than combustible fuel rockets in that it does not require fuel, presents no explosive or fire hazard and its missiles do not have hard pointed nose cones. The missiles can be launched in any clear area without the use of expensive rocket engines.

Product Features:

• New breakthrough Air Booster technology
• Incredible heights
• Amazing rocketry experience!
• No combustible engines used in air launch
• Foam nosed missiles spiral through the air!
• Includes quality air pump
• Booster system enables two altitude levels
• Travels up to 500ft

The Air Burst Mighty Missile is available for £29.99 ($59 USD) from Drinkstuff.

I’m sure you’ve all read about the USB missile launcher that was all over the news. Here’s a new take on it though, featuring a webcam mounted on top.

The USB MSN Missile Launcher, as the product is called, from Dream Cheeky has been co-developed with Microsoft to create an added user experience.

This launcher comes with a detachable video camera and a software that allows you to communicate via Microsoft’s MSN Messenger instant messaging client. Simply invite your buddies to play and they can control your launcher remotely from any location in the world.

The product will be on sale at select locations this month. It will also have a live launch at CES 2008 in Las Vegas early next year. No word on pricing yet.
