Idea: a USB-controlled gun, but the USB protocol implementation is the most cursed part.Any ideas? I have a better one, but I'll start with that it's a USB printer class. Every time you tell it to print a page, it fires

@foone I thought virtual COM ports are more cursed than USB printers because there isn't a standard for it?Am I wrong?Also: to make it fire you should have to use postscript 🤣

Next bad idea; it shows up as a USB headset. The microphone input features a constant sinewave tone, and the frequency of the tone is the number of bullets remaining times 100hz.The speaker out is the trigger. Play a loud enough noise and the gun will fire.

USB joystick: the physical trigger is now a soft trigger, mapped to an analog button. The Y axis is used for ammo count.To fire, you use the rumble feature/force feedback

@foone The most cursed version I could think of to use USB PD firmware update. The firmware allows for exactly one shot, after that it needs a new signed version :) https://usb.org/document-library/usb-power-delivery-firmware-update-specification

@whitequark there was that thing where some US states have specifically banned "hunting-over-Webcam" because someone theorized Internet Hunting where you watch a Webcam and you have a button to shoot at the deer, remotely. It was never built, but it's now illegal in some states

@foone Off the top of my head:- Alphanumeric Display: fires when you write "BANG" to the display- Braille Display Device: fires when you send ⠃⠁⠝⠛ to the display- Magic Carpet Simulation Device: cursed in its own right, no further elaboration is required- Firmware Transfer Device: send it a text file and it fires in morse code- Watchdog Timer: fires if the Watchdog Timeout expires without timely intervention from software

@foone Now I'm imagining it as a MIDI device, and it reacts to any note event, but only when first sending a program change event for instrument 128 (Gunshot in General MIDI). Don't forget the classic MIDI Panic button in case a note "hangs" (might be problematic in fully automatic firearms).

@foone as a chemistry lab technician, we use USB ion chromatographs. Ammo count can be encoded as the measured conductivity, pump speed setting can encode a turret rotation command, and “start sample” can fire.

@foone clearly it needs to be HID class. Because the HID class is ridiculously cursed out of the box, and then extended with HUTs and then shat on by developers who would rather intercept at the class level and do their own thing because fuck you that’s why.
