Still waiting for my Gauss Gun...

All of the above, and the Portal gun != weapon

Unoriginal_Username: All of the above, and the Portal gun != weapon

Oh, yes it is. How many turrets do you disable with it? How easily could you kill someone with a well placed portal?

Article is fail in text, so fail that it was by 'staff'. That's right the writer couldn't even put their own name on it.


I googled "video game weapons" and already found a far cooler one then those silly little toys.

jebusfreak: By real life, subby means toys. I was expecting the US Navy's rail gun or some cool farking lasers, not a Zelda sword made out of plastic.

-1 internets for subby.

this

those were replicas

though maybe it's a good thing there are no real life aperture science products

Good thing that was only a fence (though it looked like a pallet standing on end)

If he was against a gazebo he'd have been toast.

It's a tool with some extra features then. You can kill someone with a cordless drill, but it's not a weapon.
To me, weapon would indicate it's primary function is to main/kill.

Fark those toys, here is a real life bolter.

Arguably it's primary function is to kill test subjects, or at least let them kill themselves.

wee: That list is complete and utter crap with M41-A. It's a fully-auto submachine gun with a working, three shot Remington shotgun below it. I've held it. It actually shoots. The bullet counter works. It's absolutely bad ass.

The stuff on that list are props. Nothing has been "brought to life".

Fail.

Does it give me a digital read out of rounds left?

Subby fail. Editor fail. Writer fail.

A menage a fail.

(hell, it was approved. So, admin fail.)

A fail(tale) four way.

None of this is nearly as cool as the working wrist blade from Assassin's Creed 2.

I see your Master Sword, and raise you Buster Sword.

Yawn, get back to me when you create the cerebral bore.

someone should make a live-action sci-fi movie with the Portal Gun.

still waiting for the zero point energy field manipulator... things are heavy and the remote is 5ft away.

I hope those LED displays have an "off" switch or all they'll do is draw fire.

Wow...you guys sure have high standards for video game weaponry. I'm pretty jazzed seeing those, especially the Master Sword and the shield.

Unoriginal_Username: All of the above, and the Portal gun != weapon

So if I blast one Portal on a wall surface 100 feet or so off the ground then blast a second Portal under you so you drop to your death, it isn't a weapon?

No, that's just gravity being a biatch.

It's too late, you've awakend the gazebo.

I giggle every time I draw that card in Munchkin

I would have to counter that no, GLaDOS' pimary function is to kill subjects or manipulate them into killing themselves by putting them into seeminly impossible situations. The portal guns only function is to open opposing portals so the user can travers through the puzzles.

With that argument, if someone was to hold you down and put a hole in your head with a cordless drill thus kiling you, would that mean the cordless drill can then be classified as a weapon? No, it's still only a tool.

/of course, arguing over whether or not a fictional item is a tool/weapon is only slightly more rediculas then that someone making replicas of said item is 'bringing them to life'

Wake me up when someone makes this gun come true. I know its not a video game gun, but still, it should be.

yogaFLAME: The above.

Also, no BFG. Lame.

This. My first thought was "Bet there's no BFG."

here's what a "cool" sword looks like

They could've mentioned the real life equivalent of Mass Effect's M-29: the Heckler & Koch G11 (new window)

I'm 95% sure this gun is in fallout 2.

Can us slow kids get the story?

Definitely should have made the list. Especially since it has lights, sounds and moves, and was made by WETA. And is huge.

No Land Shark gun? No deal.
