The pink teddy bear gun

"What we have here 007: an ordinary gun, as you can see. But upon closer inspection -- put that down! Now, as I was saying, upon closer inspection it actually fires small pink teddy bears into the air, which parachute down safely to the earth. What's it for, you say? Why, it's a nascent Japanese wedding tradition of course, taking the place of tossing bouqets of flowers into the air. And would you please return it intact this time, James?"

I know this is for ceremonial purposes, but the guy in the picture looks like he has a score to settle-he doesn't look happy at all.

[Brian @ May 3rd 2006 9:08AM]

Jeff is right, a little too "Taxi Driver" for comfort. I bet he practised in front of the mirror for the PR shots...

idiots

[hitkaiser @ May 3rd 2006 9:23AM]

Can it be used more than once?

[Red_Munk!! @ May 3rd 2006 9:23AM]

Haha!! thats Awsome! :D....The teddy-bear looks in tears though :(.

Next up : Someone mod's it to a semi-auto :P.

[Coyote @ May 3rd 2006 9:29AM]

I think the real question is do they make a fully auto, or gatling style version?
And yes that guy in the pic does look like hes going to blow somebodys kneecap off with that cute wittle pink teddy bear.

Next up: explosive pink teddy bears!

Q never refers to James as "Mr. Bond". The article is misleading, making one believe that a villian is explaining his plan to dominate the world with small pink teddy bears, rather then Q showing off his latest gadget. I was emotionally wounded by the confusion this early in the morning.

This will forever be the image macro for players reaction to balancing classes in FPShooters.

Also, i noticed that too Mr Closet monkey. =-)

Oh sure, it's all fun and games until your little brother realizes that the tube is the perfect size for his pet hamster.

[Ryan Block @ May 3rd 2006 10:21AM]

Q wasn't Japanese either, but it's been noted. Thanks.

Best, Ryan

I said girls in pink teddies, not girl pink teddy bears

[strider_mt2k @ May 3rd 2006 10:41AM]

um...that's not a parachute.

[Rich @ May 3rd 2006 10:44AM]

I wonder how batsh*t insane tom cruise would get if you shot him with one of these

[missjulie @ May 3rd 2006 11:01AM]

I want one.

[Shel @ May 3rd 2006 11:08AM]

You know, we tossed teddy bears at our wedding reception instead of tossing bouquets/garters. It saved our single friends the embarassment of dealing with the toss and gave the kids something to do for a few moments. It was easy enough just to toss them, but shooting them out of a gun - maybe like shooting t-shirts out of guns - would have been really cool.

[Pun B @ May 3rd 2006 11:24AM]

That's cool. Give it a year, Japanese will have those bears 1) bluetooth linked - singing in unison a wedding celebration song; 2) all tricked out and doing little robot bear dances as they float to the ground. No one else would think of it proving once again Japan is always off the hook. 3) Are the bears supposed to be packaged? No problem- the bears will unwrap themselves - perform - and rewrap themselves as they finish their descent.

#16... BIG LOL!!

Anybody remember the UmpaLoompa Cannon from Willie Wonka?

I want one of those for my wedding, Shoot Umpla Loompas up into the air, that will give the kids something to do. (Like run and scream!), damn kids.

[shmengie @ May 3rd 2006 12:01PM]

you'll put your eye out, kid!

I smell a caption contest. I'll start.

wonder if they can be reworked to shoot bowling balls

[BRYAN @ May 3rd 2006 2:20PM]

"No Mr. Bear. I expect you to die"

I want one for my cubicle.

[Asher69 @ May 3rd 2006 2:26PM]

Is... is that a HOLLOW POINT bear?

[Finished.Law.School @ May 3rd 2006 2:27PM]

This is a bad idea, a gay man could/would replace the pink bear with a hamster.

[aperson @ May 3rd 2006 3:42PM]

A man much like your self #23? I am just saying... you thought of it... lawyers have some issues.

As if Pink teddy bears were'nt dangerous enough!

[Perrey Z. @ May 3rd 2006 10:50PM]

What these Japanese people will do for international media attention.... This is basically a smaller version of OUR American T-Shirts shooters at football games, completely useless., remind me what's the REAL use for this again?

[Jarechiga @ May 4th 2006 2:08PM]

I'll bring one to my next lan party, i hate being fragged in fps, now i can frag them back....

[Zomba @ Jun 18th 2006 10:40PM]

Perrey Z, considering that the press release was listed under national news in Japan, I don't think it was meant for international attention. The real problem is how only the eccentric news about Japan is ever brought to attention in the States here by giving people skewed impressions of Japan or misunderstandings to people like you.
