How about owning a real gun that resembles Big Red’s gun from the Hell Boy series?? Or a matchbox sized canon that punches a hole through anything 10 times bigger than thou? These are available for around
30$-60$ USD. Welcome to weapons of mass destruction, private!
Power of modern-day technological resources in the hands of mad scientists sure churns out stuff that absolutely add the “mojo” factor to our lives! Here’s roundup of some interesting “Toy” weapons that are fun and wicked at the same time! By the way, don’t let the term “Toy” fool you, as these bad boys pack some serious fire power, and a little more!
1. Steampunk Big Daddy [pictured above]
First up, is the Big daddy, from steampunk. Also called as Colonel J.Fizziwig’s blasters, these are full size blasters which they claim, can stop a rampaging Bull at 30 yards!! It releases tiny submicroscopic particles of energy erupt from the nozzle, incinerating your foe with radioactive fire?? What the hell, we like!!
2. The Liberator
Gotta admit, this resembles the gun that hellboy used in the movie! As said, this can punch holes through 2mm metal sheets! Keep this baby by your side when you go hunting for the Golden army!
3.The Combobulator
The Combobulator, a lean mean killing machine, is about 6 inches and you can carry it in your pocket, the next time you go out to the ball. A great add on for that medieval pirate costume. No one would dare mess with you, would they?
Just make sure you dont pull the trigger on someone!!
4. The Mini Canon
Say hello to my little friend! No,its not a peashooter… Contrary to its size, this one can dish out some serious damage. Made entirely of brass, all it needs is a little bit of gun-powder and you are good to go! Check out a live demo below!
5. The Click Boom
2mm Australian and german pinfire guns, nick named, the click boom, measuring about 2 cms, this one’s loud for its size! These were around during the 1970′s as the video says. Check em’ out here. btw, the host fires the gun at 7:50 in the video.
