Default I want to build a "sniper robot"

I would like to build a sniper robot. This would be a robotic machine,
with aa gun, cameras,and a computer inside, that would shoot at
targets.

It would be based on a stationary platform, meaning that there is no
requirement that this robot moves about. Its only job would be, upon
command, to aim and shoot at targets. I hope that eventually it could
aim and shoot at moving targets,but for the beginning, they will be
stationary.

To be safe, and for ease of development, it will shoot non-lethal
bullets like airsoft bullets or some such. Since it does not need to
move,I want it to be powered by 110 volts and, if necessary,
compressed air. The platform would be leveled with some precision
using adjustable feet. (this will aid in computing trajectory).

Acquisition of targets, and calculation of distance and relative
location of the target, would be done with two cameras providing
stereoscopic effect, like human eyes.


What I am hoping is that I can build a robot that would, say,be able
to shoot dozens of randomly placed dominoes with astonishing speed.

My main qustion is, for now, the following: what kind of airsoft gun
can I buy that would be able to shoot without human assistance (no
slide racking), and preferably be powered with compressed air, and be
relatively consistent, such as 10 MOA or so. I think that I saw one at
rip-off fairs and festivals.
