There are things that aren't supposed to be in your office, like the USB Rocket launcher from Brando, but there is little doubt that some people will get it and bring it over anyway.

Then again, there is something irresistible about holding the threat of make-believe annihilation hanging over their colleagues' heads.

In-house jokes aside, the iLaunch Thunder is not the first of its kind, but does have all it needs to launch the small, decidedly harmless missiles across a distance of 25 feet (7.26 meters).

Bluetooth will establish a connection between it and your phone, so you can remotely move and fire it, though you'll have to actually watch it since there's no camera to help you aim.

The vertical flexibility is of 40%, while the horizontal rotation of 270 degrees will leave little beyond its reach.

The price is a bit steep though, at $82. Go here to see more of it.
