Shov is an online game where you remotely control a real, full-auto gun turret firing .68 cal rounds inside a secure USA shooting range, livestreamed 24/7. A match lasts 90 seconds and the player with the most confirmed kills wins.
In one paragraph
Shov turns a real indoor shooting range into a multiplayer game. Twelve full-auto gun turrets sit on a live bench in a sealed USA shooting range; anyone with a phone can claim one, aim it by dragging on the livestream, and fire .68 cal rounds at instrumented targets against eleven other players. Nobody is ever downrange. Rounds last 90 seconds, run continuously, and are archived as replays with a separate point-of-view recording from every turret.

What is genuinely new
Remote-operated firearms exist in defence and in a handful of novelty installations. What has not existed is a permanent, always-on, consumer-facing arena where a stranger can take control in under a second, on hardware good enough to compete on, with the safety case handled by an unoccupied room and per-turret movement envelopes rather than by a human supervisor.
