Hasta La Gadget!

Next time you throw a cocktail party with a prohibition-era, Boardwalk Empire theme, I’ve got the perfect thing for you. Instead of serving up your drinks with regular ice cubes in them, try putting some gun-shaped ones in their cocktails.

All you need is this cheap silicone ice mold from DealExtreme and you can make ice cubes in the shape of tiny handguns. I guess they’re not cubes when they’re shaped like guns, though. You can also use the mold to make gun-shaped candy and chocolate, but I don’t recommend that you try and take your creations through the TSA checkpoint at the airport, unless you get a thrill from a full-body-cavity search.

We’ve been having fun with the viral marketing campaign that Nabisco has going right now and have seen all kinds of ways to separate the Oreo cream from its cookies. But the one thing we haven’t seen is a gun that can accomplish this important first-world task. Well, get ready to see the Oreo-separating shotgun.

This creation comes from Joerg Sprave who you will know from The Slingshot Channel on Youtube. He knows his stuff when it comes to weapon building, and has built an impressive gun to separate the Oreo cookies from the cream. A pump-action Oreo shooter. Just load some Oreos in the top and they fire from the bottom muzzle section.

This weapon hold 14 Oreo cookies. Just pull the slide to load one in the chamber, then pump it and unleash one of its delicious cookie bullets. So how does the gun separate the cream from the cookie? Okay, it doesn’t really. Well, it kind of does. When cookies hit an object, like a wall, it all splatters nicely and is separated. Just not in a way that is neat and edible. Joerg also tried to put a box-cutter blade inside the barrel to see if it would split the cookie neatly, but all he ended up with was a bunch of crumbs. Still, the idea of a gun that fires cookies is loads of fun.

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.

Each one was planned out in meticulous detail, before Asif cut up the pieces and created his cardboard arsenal. No, they don’t fire cardboard bullets, although that would be cool. They just look great and are made to be admired as eye candy.

It’s a great way to recycle those old cardboard boxes you have lying around – the problem is that most of us are not as talented as Asif.

We’ve seen a few cute and cuddly weapons in the past, but this handgun is a real rarity. This a semi-automatic handgun from Springfield Armory that features custom Rarity grips. Ha ha. At least we think they are custom grips. Sure, friendship is magic, until you cross a pony. Then that little pony is going to pop a cap in your cutie-marked butt.

Sadly, we don’t have any info on this weapon, but some pony-lover out there is in for a world of hurt. My Little Pony fans who also visit the gun range (I know there must be many of you) will drool over this gun. Others will just want this gun just so they could take down every animated pony they see.

If you’re a fan of the video game Portal 2, ThinkGeek has a new USB powered toy just in time for the holiday shopping season that you will love. The USB gadget is called the Portal 2 Sentry Turret USB Desk Defender. This little turret doesn’t actually shoot bullets, but it does activate when it senses motion.

When the turret senses motion, the side pods open revealing tiny faux guns. It also says memorable quotes from the video game, including “target acquired,” “there you are,” “I see you,” ‘preparing to dispense product,” and “activated.” If you can’t imagine for yourself what that looks and sounds like, here’s a demo video:

The toy also says other quips from the game if you move it or knock it over along with vibrating. If you knock the device over it will say things like “critical error,” “shutting down,” “I don’t hate you,” “hey hey hey,” and “malfunctioning.” If it doesn’t sense motion for 30 seconds it will say “are you still there?” This is an officially licensed Portal 2 collectible and is available now for $39.99(USD) over at ThinkGeek.
