Double-barrel Pistol-grip Sawed-off Shotgun BBQ Grill: The Smoking Gun

Posted on by

Bang! Your meat is done. This sawed-off shotgun grill is the manliest grill you will see all day. Just load your meat up in the chamber and start cooking.

This grill smokes out of both barrels as if you just fired. And you did. You fired a shot full of smoky delicious flavor. It takes a five gallon tank of fuel in the pistol grip – this one time it’s okay to mix guns and propane tanks. It also has some nice wide wheels for your next beach party in the sand.

It will only cost you $9,550(USD) from California artist firesculptureart. As far as I’m concerned, that’s a bargain for a huge sawed off shotgun that cooks meat and smokes out of the barrels. And if shotguns aren’t your weapon of choice, they offer a few other gun-shaped BBQ grills.

Fallout 3 Terrible Shotgun Gets Real

Posted on by

If you aren’t familiar with the Terrible Shotgun, it has the second highest damage of all the weapons in the Small Guns category in Fallout 3. It also has a larger spread than normal shotguns. It is most effective in close-quarters. In fact, it is terribly deadly up close.

It’s an awesome weapon and so it’s no wonder that Harrison Krix at Volpin Props was commissioned to make this amazing replica for the web series Nuka Break. The barrel and heat shield are made of aluminum. The trigger mechanism too as well as the sight and forward pump piston.

Two drum magazines lock into place with magnetic catches. The cocking lever on the right side is spring loaded, like the trigger. Fully assembled, the whole thing weighs over 8 lbs. The detail is pretty amazing as we’ve come to expect from Volpin.

Sadly, this replica weapon does not actually fire real rounds, but you can’t have everything.

Triple Barrel Holy Grail Shotgun Perfect for Taking Down Zombie Hordes

Posted on by

Battling zombie armies takes some interesting and varied weaponry. One thing that is a must for zombie purification is a weapon that reloads fast and has plenty of firepower. If you load up a shotgun with a nice wide-spreading buckshot, you could potentially take out an entire zombie hoard in one shot. That’s what makes this cool 16-gauge shotgun called the “Holy Grail” so awesome.

Not only can you fire massive shotgun slugs or buckshot out of this beast, it has a third barrel. That means the shotgun will hold three shots whereas most shotguns of this type have two barrels at most.

Sure, modern shotguns carry more rounds, but with this old-fashioned style shotgun you don’t have to worry about automatic loading mechanisms jamming. This cool triple barreled shotgun was built for John Hope, the first Marquess of Linlithgow and the first Governor-General of Australia. The gun was built by gunsmiths John Dixon and Son, and recently sold at an auction for about $66,000 (USD), which works out to be about $10 per zombie kill in my estimation.

12 Gauge Compound Bow Makes Archery Even More Deadly

Posted on by

Archers take a lot of flack because in battle they are basically useless. They are good for ranged warfare – in numbers, but once an enemy gets close enough, archers are dead meat. An archer with a 12 gauge compound bow? Well, that would make for a far more deadly archer.

This guy rigged a compound bow to fire an attached shotgun instead of shooting arrows. Does he really need a reason? It looks like it works by using the bow’s string as the firing pin for the shell. Let go of the string and it fires the attached shotgun.

It seems to work just fine, but I’m sure it isn’t accurate from the looks of things. Forget stealth and accuracy. This bow is all about power.  IF this thing is even real. If it is real, this is an awesome hack.

LEGO M45 Tactical Shotgun from Halo Reach Has Working Pump-Action

Posted on by

I love it when geeks take virtual weapons from video games and recreate them in the real world. We’ve seen weapons created from wood and paint in the past, but my favorite is when they create the virtual weapons using LEGO bricks. For his Halo Reach weapon, LEGO is the medium of choice for a guy named Nick Jensen (aka “Nick Brick”) .

Nick built a full-size M45 Tactical Shotgun over the course of two months exclusively from LEGO bricks. He says that a little bit of glue was required in some particularly weak spots so it wouldn’t fall apart, but other than that, the gun looks very realistic and actually has some working features.

The coolest of the working features is the sliding pump-action.When the pump is moved, it also actually ejects a shell. How awesome is that?

I wonder what the design process that went into coming up with a workable pump-action slider entailed.

BTW, Nick is the same dude that made that Halo LEGO sniper rifle a while back. I wonder when he’ll build a LEGO Plasma Sword and LEGO M41 Rocket Launcher to go with.
