Being one of the world’s big superpowers, China is always building up its military might. One of their many dangerous toys is this armored vehicle from Beijing Zhongzi Yanjing Auto Co. Ltd. It looks like a Humvee of sorts, but this vehicle is deadly. Imagine this bad boy just cruising along like a regular military personnel transporter, until a bunch of launch tubes pop out of the roof.

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.

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.

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.

Last year, Cabot Guns announced that they would releasing twin 1911 handguns made from a meteorite. They have made good on that promise, and created these guns made from the Gibeon meteorite that crashed on Earth approximately 4.5

I’ve always wanted a lightsaber replica, but most of the ones I’ve seen in stores are cheap plastic models that look and feel like kid’s toys. For serious collectors and cosplay, you want a custom built lightsaber from Ultrasabers.

I can’t think of a better weapon for the zombie apocalypse than this full auto Coke Bottle Gatling Gun. Also, I definitely want the guy who built this, Joerg Sprave, with me as I fight off the horde.

See the guy in the image here, that sort of smirk on his face looks a bit to me like he isn’t sure if Homeland Security is going to show up on his doorstep any minute or not.

Bulletproof glass is an awesome invention; it protects VIPs all around the world from being killed by bad guys looking to do them harm. While that glass does a fantastic job of protecting from bullets, it’s clearly no match for an rocket-propelled grenade. The world of action movies and video games tells me that RPGs are just lying around everywhere and bad guys always have them.

Kitchen knives are something that we all need. Every now and then, you gotta chop stuff up or cut a steak after all. You could go with plain old boring kitchen knives, or you could go for something like this awesome Final Fantasy inspired set. The knives look like weapons used in the franchise and are stored in a stand that looks like the creepy purple octopus Ultros.

When military snipers need to take out targets at massive distances they often rely on the gigantic .50 caliber sniper rifle of the Barrett variety. This rifle can hit targets a mile or more away in the right hands.

We’ve seen a pair of electrified Wolverine claws, but part of what makes the actual weapons cool is that Wolvie can make them come out and retract at will. Inventor Colin Furze figured out a way to achieve that in his replica.

A few years ago, hacksmith/Weapon H/H-man James Hobson made a great pair of Wolverine claws. They had this unique curved ends that made it look like the claws actually burst out in between his fingers. But when he saw Hack A Day’s electrified Mjolnir, Hobson was inspired to do the same.

Ahoy assassin! If you thought the Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood Hidden Blade Replica was too flamboyant, perhaps the blade’s updated version will be more to your liking. Made by McFarlane Toys, this life-size replica forgoes the shiny PVC vambrace for a simpler one made of leather.

If you like to look at guns more than you like to fire them, check out these amazingly detailed paper guns, made by cardboard artist Asif Farooq. Forget about the whole gun/anti-gun controversy for a moment and just admire these harmless weapons for all of their amazing detail.

Want to have your own lightsaber? You can buy a Star Wars kit or a LaserSaber, or you can make your own. But you definitely shouldn’t take note of Philip Isherwood’s store, Saberforge. Because he doesn’t make lightsabers.
