Build your own Bluetooth handgun handset, or don't

Want to attract attention (and the police) every time you answer your cellphone in public? Then perhaps this build-at-your-own-risk Bluetooth handgun handset project is for you. As far as DIY mods go, this one looks to be simple enough (if somewhat time-consuming), with it involving nothing more than stuffing a disassembled Jabra Bluetooth headset into a suitably realistic-looking airsoft gun, which apparently fits just right so that the trigger operates the call start/end button. If you're still on board, you can find all the necessary details by hitting up the link below.

[Thanks, Elijah]

Nice! I would like to see if the Justice Department shuts this site down because of giving links to these instructions.

[OneLove @ Jul 15th 2008 3:04PM]

(He gets a call and picks up the real gun instead)...hello...click...bang! (wrong number)

[Fred @ Jul 14th 2008 5:41PM]

As long as it's not a Glock.

Those are bad for your health.

[Lars @ Jul 14th 2008 7:04PM]

Well, any gun has the potential to be bad for your health.

[Wii60 @ Jul 14th 2008 8:19PM]

@Lars

Sir, I refer you to the Medic's gun in TF2

[SimbaDogg @ Jul 14th 2008 8:56PM]

wow...no references to ice cube - check yo self yet?

[Fozzy Bear @ Jul 14th 2008 9:41PM]

@ Wii60

"Everybody!!! I am on fiyah!"

[Gr1zz @ Jul 14th 2008 5:43PM]

This is all levels of wrong.

[Lars @ Jul 14th 2008 6:58PM]

But still funny and brilliant.


Kinda reminds me of Futurama.
"No Professor, don't do it!"
"Don't do what? Don't use this memory ray-gun to recall what happened?"

You misspelled "awesome."

[The Dude @ Jul 14th 2008 6:30PM]

Boston has no sense of humor. With a flatulent name like Bean Town, you'd think they would.

[loosely_coupled @ Jul 14th 2008 9:18PM]

HA! This probably wouldn't even phase anyone there. Remember, it's the unequivocally benign objects that cause the irrational hysteria!

Winner: Dumbest Mod Ever.

[CMfly @ Jul 15th 2008 9:56AM]

I fully agree... Next time he's in the middle of an airsoft battle and answers a call instead of shooting his buddy he'll be sorry...

[Carl M @ Jul 14th 2008 5:47PM]

What about a hands-free version?

Hmm, I suppose it could get tricky if you get someone to hold it for you.

[Hamidxa @ Jul 14th 2008 5:48PM]

Just make sure you're not using your iPhone to do so, what with its limited Bluetooth support and all...kind of like false advertising there.

[Zak @ Jul 14th 2008 6:18PM]

Are you really that dumb? False advertising how, exactly? Are you under the impression that you can't use a bluetooth headset with the iPhone? Do tell, this should be good.

[Lars @ Jul 14th 2008 7:02PM]

/gets popcorn

This should be good.






Actually a friend of mine who owns an iPhone is always whining about the lack of support for wireless headsets and the non-standard plug for wired headsets.

OMG i wasted $200 on this pos iphone, I'm gonna kill myself.

[Dan Davis @ Jul 14th 2008 5:49PM]

This new BT technology blows my mind!

[Hamidxa @ Jul 14th 2008 5:56PM]

It will when iPhone 3.0 comes out in a store near you sometime in 2009!

[The Dude @ Jul 14th 2008 6:06PM]

I see what you did there.

[Todd @ Jul 14th 2008 5:50PM]

Request that the "Don't taz me bro!" kid test it out in any airport.

[Sal @ Jul 14th 2008 5:54PM]

If you run through Hack-a-Day, you'll find one of these things...but in shotgun-esq form

[Idlemind @ Jul 14th 2008 5:54PM]

Every human over 25 that still uses a Sidekick and anyone else that doesnt utilize an "inside voice" when talking on the phone in public should be forced to upgrade to this, and walk thru Penn Station in rushhour...on a Friday

[Riley @ Jul 14th 2008 5:55PM]

what a terribly stupid idea

[rita hainsworth @ Jul 14th 2008 5:57PM]

...honey can you get my gun it's ringing.

[cantcount @ Jul 14th 2008 6:00PM]

What? No, no, it's ok, I'm on the phone!

[gsnacks @ Jul 14th 2008 6:03PM]

wow that would really suck if a prankster swapped that out with a real guy...

[Blake @ Jul 14th 2008 8:13PM]

The flagrant misspellings on these comment boards are starting to get funny.

[Smileypanda @ Jul 14th 2008 8:41PM]

Whew!
I thought for a second that the guy in the picture was real...

[Idlemind @ Jul 14th 2008 6:01PM]

This is what is likely to happen if you are driving....

You get a long line of (insert your favorife PD initials here) following you on the highway and at the end of it all, you get a ticket for talking on the phone stapled to your casket after being shot 7000 times for re-enacting the OJ Chase

[EricR @ Jul 14th 2008 6:01PM]

California never saw this coming...

[Waylan @ Jul 14th 2008 6:02PM]

just remeber where you keep it.
don't get it mixed with your real one.
*ring ring*
*click*
BRAINS EVERYWHERE.

[deyanimay @ Jul 14th 2008 6:32PM]

A zombies favorite headset.

[The Dude @ Jul 14th 2008 6:11PM]

Enough $$$ for an iPhone, BT headset, and a fake glock. But no money for a hair cut or a razor. We must appreciate that his gadget priorities are in place.

[deyanimay @ Jul 14th 2008 6:42PM]

Why would he want a razr he has an iphone. JK

[dvsbstrd @ Jul 14th 2008 7:36PM]

@deyanimay

That could've been so clever if you'd have just left out the JK.

*sigh*

[Ace b @ Jul 14th 2008 8:36PM]

if only he had an macbook Air,then that could be even more clever

[architect.zero @ Jul 14th 2008 6:11PM]

"We've secretly replaced this man's Bluetooth Gun-handset with a real Gun. Let's see if he can tell the difference!"

[DESTOS @ Jul 14th 2008 7:04PM]

Nice man, that's the first time I laughed aloud to an engadget comment.

[BratPAQ @ Jul 14th 2008 10:30PM]

the real gun would normally be heavier, so he can detect it, why not replace it with an unmodified airsoft (burst fire mode)? imagine that little BBs hitting his eardrums, wicked XD

[Prokanda @ Jul 15th 2008 4:10AM]

I think you've been upgraded to architect.+1.

good stuff there.

[Henry @ Jul 14th 2008 6:13PM]

I do believe all four rules are being broken in this photograph. Even if it's just an airsoft USP.
