Syrian rebels build homemade tank out of car chassis, game controller

“Forget 3D printed guns, Syrian opposition fighters are taking backyard weapons manufacture to the next level with a homemade tank. First reported by Russian Today (video below), the Sham II (which apparently gets its name from ancient Syria) is built from the chassis of a car and packs a turret-mounted machinegun. The gun is aimed with what else but a video game controller, with visual data from external cameras relayed to the pilot’s LCD display.”
