Final Fantasy fans might well be familiar with gunblades but the Tact-Axe is a real thing. You can buy the accessory from MeleeMods for just over $100. Some things to note. This wasn’t actually designed for hunting zombies. This was designed for hunting and self-defense. At least, that’s my understanding of how the system works. […]

8 dangerous items included in the Dark Souls 2 Collector’s Edition
The Japanese Collectors Edition of Dark Souls 2 is surprising. It is a set of sword and shield replicas. The bundle costs ¥15,800 (£94). In comparison, the UK the Dark Souls 2 CE costs about £79.99 and comes with a 450g Warrior Knight. These are replica weapons, it’s worth noting. The largest shield only weighs […]
A real and fully functional batarang boomerang
Victor Poulin makes Boomerangs and sells them online (when his hostgator site is up). The creations are handmade from 10 ply birch wood and his YouTube channel tends to show trick shots, catching techniques and tips on how to throw. This video shows a large batarang being thrown over a field of snow. You get […]
Boba Bullets: The Boba Fett ammo box
Seatle based Augie Pagan has 15 years experience in the video game industry as an artist and illustrator. More recently they’ve gone freelance and doing all sorts of other work. Case in point? Check out this Boba Fett ammo box. I like to think that the project might have been called “Boba Bullets” … but […]
You to can be a hammer ninja
Hammer nunchaku? Yes, they’re real — perhaps not as either weapons or for DIY fans but as art. Austin artist and Etsy seller Nimer Aleck has these for sale. Yes, you can buy these. In many ways it’s a shame you couldn’t have gotten your hands on these last week. It would have made the […]
Crafting a hollow Mjonir so smash things with it
Man At Arms is back with a very timely video. The team shows the creation of Thor’s hammer Mjölnir. This one might not be magical but it is light enough to lift. The trick? They make it hollow. Does that stop mini-Mjölnir being used as a weapon? Certainly not; watch all the usual smashery at […]
Building the Halo Needler
Do you enjoy using the Needler in Halo? It’s a Covenant weapon that’s simply fantastic against lightly armoured targets. It’s pretty much fire and forget as the Type-33 weapon launches its crystalline projectiles against the foe which then explode on impact. The Covenant love it because it’s the sort of weapon that you can put […]
Geek builds full-auto gauss gun
Gauss guns, aka coilguns, are a projectile based weapon most commonly found in science-fiction but which can be built with today’s technology. They work by using electromagnets to propel solid slugs at a high velocity. This gauss gun, with a full auto feature, was developed by Delta V Engineering. Delta V is about making sci-fi […]
Making Link’s Master Sword in real life could kill you
In many ways this is an interesting video. It shows some modern expert blacksmiths making Legend of Zelda’s Master Sword. This is Link’s Master Sword. It is just a recreation of course but the sword itself is just cut from a sheet of steel. Does that mean it’s weak? Not at all; watch to end […]
