Someone turned a real Glock gun into a clone of the Nintendo 'Duck Hunt' zapper


Someone went and created a real gun based on the fake gun used in Nintendo's Duck Huntgame.
The result? A very cool looking but dangerous weapon sporting a bit of gaming nostalgia.
Posted on the Facebook page of Precision Syndicate LLC, a of Texas-based machine prototyping company, the gun looks remarkably similar to Nintendo's original, non-lethal version, known as the NES Zapper gun.

The gaming accessory, released in 1984 in Japan and later in the U.S., allowed NES gamers to point the fake gun at their television screen and shoot game targets.
Since then, some game enthusiasts have modded the gun to work as an accessory for newer games. But it's relatively rare to see anyone use the playful Nintendo motif for real world weapons.

Responses to the post on Facebook have varied from people debating the sensibilities behind creating such a gun, to those enthusiastically attempting to find out how to buy one.
"The fact that this exists is why cops don't have the time to make the decision of its a toy or a gun," said one commenter, while another said, "Worthless craps for making this! Not only would a child have a hard enough time telling the diff if it's real or fake imagine all the law enforcements that now might second guess it and lose their life and others around!"

However, there appear to be far more commenters inquiring about how to obtain the gun, which is a modified Glock.
Nevertheless, the concerns from some on the Facebook post may be well placed. Just a year and a half ago, 12-year-old Tamir Rice was fatally shot by a police officer in Ohio after the officer claimed that he mistook the child's toy gun for a real weapon.

  3. I don't think guns should look like toys. My gun is not pink or purple because it's not supposed to be "cute", it's to get the job done!
