Tracer’s Pulse Pistols from Overwatch Recreated in LEGO

A LEGO fanatic calling himself Nick Brick has taken Tracer’s pulse pistols right off the screen of Overwatch and made them into LEGO brick sculptures. The builds are very cool and look very much like the pistols Tracer uses in the game.

Each of the pistols has 1063 LEGO bricks in the build for a total of 2126 bricks for both pistols. The pistols both have a working reload mechanism which makes the side discs expand outward.

The nifty glowing design is thanks to some BrickStuff LEDs. Be sure to check out Nick Brick’s Flickr page for a bunch of other cool LEGO builds.

The Metallophon Is a Musical Instrument You Play with Bullets

Vitaly Kryuchin is the head of the Russian Federation of Practical Shooting. Apparently, he also loves music, so naturally he combined both to create one strange musical instrument.

Kryuchin built something he calls the Metallophon. It is basically made from different-sized sheets of metal, which each deliver a different tone when you strike them with a bullet. This guy would give one dangerous concert, that’s for sure.

In the video shown here, Kryuchin plays three songs with the band Shooting Star. He plans to rise to the top of the Russian charts and be number one, with a bullet.

Man at Arms: Reforged Builds Fallout 4 Weapons

On a recent episode of Man at Arms: Reforged, the team at Baltimore Knife and Sword took on another video game-themed challenge: building real-life versions of the improvised weapons from Fallout 4.

As usual, the team did an excellent job. They tried their hand at making the Kremvh’s Tooth machete, a revolutionary sword, a bladed aluminum baseball bat, and an oak bat with nails sticking out of it.

Naturally, they tested them all out after they were made, putting them through tests like slicing through a zombie head, smashing watermelons, and more. Video game weapons are way too much fun. Dangerous as hell too, so be careful if you try this at home, kids. In fact, don’t!

Office Warfare: Q-Tip Crossbow

qtip_crossbow_1

You’ve been wanting to get back at Tim from accounting ever since he covered your seat in Scotch Tape, but unsure how? The Q-Tip Crossbow is just the right type of weapon for this job. Just crank it, place a Q-Tip and pull the trigger cord. You’ll hit your target up to 20ft away, and Tim will never be able to get upset at you because, well, it’s paper and cotton for crying out loud. Some assembly is required and it comes with 25 Q-Tips, but it’s not like you can’t buy 1,000 for $5 at Costco or anything. It’s $10 from Thinkgeek.
