Hasta La Gadget!

The NES was pretty awesome back when it came out, but by today’s gaming standards it’s pretty lame. I mean, it’s not like it could actually shoot people with a laser and burn their flesh. Oh wait. Yeah, now it does.

To make things interesting, there’s a 2W+ blue laser hacked into this original 80s Nintendo Zapper gun. You could go duck hunting and cook your dinner at the same time with this modded NES Zapper. A dog may even rise out of the brush and laugh at you.

The gun was taken apart and filled with a 445nm diode, some batteries and some wiring by the people of North Street Labs. This zapper gives new meaning to the name.

It takes a serious old school gamer to walk around with his NES Zapper in a holster. Apparently, A.F. 275 is just such an individual. If you also wear a Zapper holster and should meet him on a dusty street at high noon, you’d better be fast. He can draw and shoot ducks faster than any man alive. Or so I figure.

He made this cool plastic over-the-waistband holster for his Nintendo Entertainment System Zapper. Afterwards he had to range test it, so he ran it through six rounds of Duck Hunt, drawing on each duck from a holstered position and hit every one of them. That’s better than I can do un-holstered.

The holster looks pretty sweet. You might think that the gun would warp and melt under the heat and pressure, but I guess these guns are tougher then they look.
