Drill Gun Screwdriver Bangs Bolts In

A couple of months ago we saw a handgun that looks like an electric drill. Here’s the complete opposite, a electric screwdriver that looks like a handgun. Those poor shelves and cabinets won’t know what hit ‘em.

The 3.6-volt electric screwdriver comes with six drill bits that fit in the revolver chambers. Hopefully they fit snugly or else you might find yourself firing blanks one day.

3D Printed Portal Gun Doesn’t Print Portals

We’ve seen a handful of beautiful replicas of the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, but this replica by deviantART member Melissa aka techgeekgirl is special because most of its exterior parts were 3D-printed based on files from the game itself.  Melissa even claims that it’s more detailed than NECA’s officially licensed replica. Oh snap!

Like Harrison Krix’s replica, Melissa’s gun also makes sounds and glows blue and orange.

The steampunk replica is still my favorite, but this really is very polished work. Check out Melissa’s deviantART page for more pictures.

Google experiment lets you visualize the global arms trade in detail

We’re all well aware of Google’s drive for experimenting with bizarre tidbits from time to time, and the search giant’s latest venture is one that gives a rather colorful and very detailed look at the global arms trade. Not surprisingly, the results are quite astonishing thanks to the interactivity and great amount of data Mountain View’s been able to add to its visualization — showing info like the number of imports / exports by each country from as far back as 1992 all the way up until 2010. There’s a lot more to it, however, with the ability to also see how much cash was being spent per nation, and whether it was on ammo or civilian / military weapons. For that, you might want to head over to the Arms Trade site, where you’ll be able to take Google’s experiment for a spin — literally.
