Half-Life 2 Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator Replica

Are you an avid fan of the Half Life 2 series? I am quite sure that when you first laid your eyes on the Half-Life 2 Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator (aka gravity gun), you were blown away completely by the kind of things it could do in-game. Of course, this led to the gravity gun proving itself crucial in solving some of the game’s puzzles, and was also quite fun to use just to amuse yourself in-game. Here is something you can hold in the flesh and bring home – the $149.99 Half-Life 2 Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator Replica, which is a limited edition gravity gun that comes in a 1:1 replica form factor, complete with LEDs, handles, triggers, and unique sounds.

There is also a fold-away kickstand for display purposes, letting you proudly show it off to all and sundry who drop by your house and are worth their gaming salt. This Gravity Gun (let’s just call it this for now, as it is easier to roll off the tongue) is made out of molded plastic, and will boast of orange LEDs, a couple of handles and an equal number of triggers, and a quartet of sounds from the game. You might want to place an order as soon as possible, since once they are sold out, they are more or less gone forever!

HL2 Gravity Gun Replicas Coming to ThinkGeek, Newton’s Laws Still Apply

Fans of Half-Life 2 know that the Gravity Gun is one of the greatest weapons in the history of video gaming. The idea of a gun that can pick up random objects like sawblades and turn them into projectiles was just brilliant. Well, soon you’ll be able to own a full-scale replica of this great gaming gun.

The guys at ThinkGeek have managed to score a distribution deal for NECA’s limited-edition Gravity Gun (aka the “Zero-Point Energy Field Manipulator.”) The full-size replica will include bright orange LEDs, as well as sound effects from the game when you pull the triggers. While it looks awesome, it still can’t actually manipulate gravity like the real gun. Though you could always try this hack once you have it in your grubby little mitts.

It’s coming to ThinkGeek this April, where it will sell for $149.99(USD). While you can’t pre-order one just yet, you can get on the notification email list now if you want to score one of these for your Half-Life 2 collection.

Portal Gun Turned into Gravity Gun: Levitates Companion Cube

One of my favorite guns in the history of video games has to be the Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2. Perhaps my second favorite is the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, which admittedly is more of a tool than a gun. Now, the smart guys over at Hack-a-Day have combined them both – sorta, kinda.

How, you might ask? Caleb Kraft took his off-the-shelf model of the Portal gun, and added a levitation device to the front of it – currently capable of lifting a small model of the weighted companion cube. He achieved this by hacking his StellaNova magnetic levitating globe and tearing the magnetic coil from the desktop plaything (throwing the Earth off its axis and ripping a hole in it in the process.) He then attached the coil to one of the arms of the Portal gun, and attached the magnet from inside of the globe to a foam model of the companion cube.

Check it out in action in the video below:

Cool, no? Unfortunately, the magnetic levitation field doesn’t hold up well to movement, and can’t really lift anything very heavy. Too bad. I was really looking forward to picking up some circular saw blades and flinging them at zombies this Halloween.
