for a rubber band gun that's pretty bad ass
Not to be confused with other rubber band guns with the same body and design made in China - lacking the Metal Gear Solid logo.
you bet it is I think it deserves like two million stars
I'm going to buy it
But even better....
Hey Robert, your mother is calling you!
By the way there is something important I'd like to discuss with you later son. A father to son story if you know what I mean.
From,
Your Dad.
Oh man, how sweet would this be in a boring lecture?! Wonder what the range on that thing is...
I want. Where can I buy it and how much?
You can't buy it, it was homemade. You might be able to get a metalworking shop to make the parts, but then you'd have to find someone to weld it together. The website has two PDFs you can download that have plans, but they appear to possibly be missing some parts: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fyappaps3.blog.shinobi.jp%2FEntry%2F48%2F&sl=ja&tl=en&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
Assuming one could get the pdf blueprints downloaded this could easily (and cheaply) be made out of plexi. Kudos to this guy for working out the hard parts.
Absolutely Ridiculous!!!! (But I love it)
Reloading like this, it's a revoltion!
Firefox spellchecker, I curse you to the lowest floor of hell.
Yeah, what's up with that? I noticed my Firefox spell checker has been worse lately, perhaps with this latest version?
I know this sounds patronising (it's intended to be), but maybe you should try READING your comment BEFORE you post!
Or is that too complicated for you?
To be honest, if I had read over his post quickly I may not have picked up that small typo, so you can't really say that. The spell checker should work, otherwise it shouldn't even be there.
I uss firfox tou adn thre's nohing wong wth thee speel chckr.
@allislost
i hardly think you passed kindergarden, so forget knowing how to use a spellchecker
Fuck spell checkers, learn you engrish, prease!
LOL. And I mean that.
Anyway, Chrome's spellchecker is great.
Google Chrome FTW!!!
Oh, maybe not. It said I spelled "spellchecker" and LOL and FTW all incorrectly.
Hey better too many than to few!
Non-lethal might be a stretch. One good smack from that might leave more than just a welt.
OUCH. My pride!
I actually feel sorry for Japanese people because they mostly can't own real guns. They have very sophisticated toy guns, but everyone should be able to shoot a real pistol in a safe setting. We're grown-ups, we want the real thing, not toys.
Truly a thing of beauty.....
Great work!
I like this, this is sick! Forget all the haters, you have a solid metal rubber band gun, hahaha.
I could kick some serious cube war ass with this thing.
Cool gun, but I fail to see how it has anything to do with Metal Gear Solid.
That part of the post makes no sense to me. Snake's chosen pistol in MGS4 was an M1911 Operator. Could you guys be thinking of a different game?
How about the fact that it's made of metal and uses a gear?
plus it looks pretty solid...
If anything, this would make a killer movie prop for a sci-fi flick.
Non-Lethal Weapons 5
You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!
Was this weapon made pre-System?
i love the way they used a chair to get the "revolving around the gun" kind of look.
lmao.
It looks like a Lawgiver.
it is a thing of beauty I wonder were they sell it and how much it costs?
This needs to be featured in Lethal Weapon 5: Geriatrics Division.
*In the cptns office.*
Captain: Sorry riggs. You can't have a gun.
Riggs: Like hell *cough..cough* *holds up a finger* Stairs.... Like hell I can't. You give me a gun or I'll get one out of evidence.
Captain: Fine. Here. *throws the RBG on the table*. This is all the slack I'm cutting you Riggs!
Riggs: Sweet..wait...this thing fires rubber bands. What the hell?
Captain: Its that or nothing. The last thing we need is you suing us because you broke your hip while firing a Magnum.
Riggs: *grumbles as he leaves the office* What the hell am I expected to do with this thing...welt someone to death with it?
And there needs to be a matrix like scene in the movie where some martial arts master ducks and weaves around the rubber bands.
Where a young officer is freaking out "He's just weaving through the bands man! Game over man! Game over" Not yet son, not yet. *Riggs pulls out the minigun rubber band gun* http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/meet-the-disintegrator-24-barrels-of-rubber-band-minigun-madnes/
I bet it would get YOU killed if you pointed it at someone with a gun...
The laser and flashlight combo appears to be this stylus/pen (or similar): http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.849
That's some high quality engineering. Would be great if it gets picked up by a toy manufacturer so we can all share the fun, assuming it won't be "mistaken" for a real firearm on the mean streets of the US.
Where can i get this
OMG This is so badass. Where can I buy it??
holy crap i can imagine the welts now. :O
You're gonna poke your eye out..you're gonna poke your eye out.
