Flickr member, LEGO enthusiast and Bionicle pilot Nick Brick made life-size scale models of some of the weapons in the hit FPS Titanfall. Nick made the EVA-8 Shotgun, the Smart Pistol MK5 and the R-101C Carbine.

Nick’s replicas may not be exactly the same as their virtual counterparts – Nick made the pistol and the rifle months before Titanfall came out – but they still look awesome and even have a few moving or detachable parts.

Have a closer look at Nick’s arsenal in these videos:

Valve has a life-size model of the Sentry Gun from Team Fortress 2 to guard their office. Programmer and 3D artist Jeff Wong may not be a big shot like Gabe Newell and his employees, but he has a turret manning his house too. You just have to look closely to see it.

Jeff engineered his turret using 3D Studio Max and Photoshop…

…then sent his 3D file to Shapeways to have it printed.

Orderin’ a sentry! You too can get Jeff’s miniature Sentry Gun from Shapeways for about $24 (USD). You should also check out Jeff’s time-lapse video if you know your way around 3ds Max.

Whether you are pro guns or against them, every American can surely agree that we should all have a beef jerky gun in our homes because… meat!

I’m pretty sure beef jerky snacks are the human equivalent to Beggin’ Strips for dogs. Everyone loves beef jerky. Not just Randy “Macho Man” Savage. This is why you get a beef jerky gun – so you can make your own tasty jerky snack sticks any time you want one. We have the right to bare meat!

Forget that. Didn’t sound right at all. It’s only $27.04(USD) from Amazon and it will keep you in jerky snacks for a long long time. Just load it up with ingredients, pull the trigger and shoot.

The wild, wild west has always been the bedrock of many an interesting yarn to listen to, and even until today, there are young and impressionable kids out there who would love to live out the life of a sheriff, hunting down outlaws and making sure that those who practice a life of crime will not be able to reap the temporary rewards that accompany it. For that young one of yours who does seem to have a penchant for guns, the £14.99 Stixtoy Gun might be a reasonable purchase for the coming holiday season.

With it, you are more than free to come up with your very own rubberband toy gun, and it would be interesting to see dads fight with their kids for ownership of this puppy. I say, why not get two of these bad boys and run riot around the home? Those who can remember how in their younger days, they used rubberbands with twigs and branches to create their own “gun”, but why not let someone do all the work for you while you start to device your next “stick-up”? Who knows, it could very well be a raid on the kitchen for that prized cookie jar and its contents.

3D printers can be quite a menace if one were to make use of it the wrong way, and one of the ways would be to print out parts of a gun and assembling them together. We did hear of a Liberator pistol that was smuggled into the Israeli parliament sometime in the middle of this year, and then there was also the Grizzly which is a 3D-printed rifle. This time around, there is a third 3D-printed gun which has been spotted, but it comes with an added advantage. It has been printed entirely out of metal, with the design being a copy of a classic 1911 model.

Solid Concepts (what a name, eh?) is the company behind the new 3D printed gun. Similar to the creators of the Liberator, Solid Concepts too, are based in Texas, and they wanted to showcase to the rest of the world that it is possible to print out metal 3D objects which are able to stand up to the pressures of everyday use. Apart from that, Solid Concepts does own a federal firearms license, which means they have not randomly settled on printing a gun, either. At this point in time, the 3D-printed metal gun was constructed using a laser sintering process which was capable of shaping tougher metals such as stainless steel. It is not something that you can do at home using desktop 3D printing technology, so hobbyists are unable to replicate such a weapon in the comfort of your home. So far, the gun has already successfully been fired for 50 times without having it fail.
