Glock made to look like a Nintendo Zapper

[irish_thug]

I don't think you're understanding my argument at all. If I owned a family friendly gun range, I don't know if I'd allow that on my range. It's not a matter of how well secured it is, it's that I don't want kids seeing a guy who made his gun look like a toy. Sends the wrong message to kids that guns are toys. That's the argument.

If you remove home defense and personal protection from the equation handguns are toys, expensive, dangerous ones. And like I`ve been trying to say, in Canada because of our retardedly strict gun laws, The gun may as well exist in a vacuum, if it is not at the range it`s in a safe. I`m not debateing the merits of your argument, I`m just saying it`s a moot point here because we have laws surrounding gun storage. If it were a 10-22 that looked like a super soaker, there`d be an issue here.

In your view it sends the wrong message and I think any sensible person would agree with this.

In the view of someone who is very pro-gun it sends the correct message. These people want to see more violence and this item is a perfect tool to that end.

Well this is stupid and should be illegal. I can't imagine a good reason to mod a deadly weapon to look like a toy

Not any worse than toy companies modeling their products to look exactly like a "deadly weapon"

Two wrongs don't make a right though

Two wrongs don't make a right though

never said it did. However, Toy companies have been making their products to almost replica levels for decades; one gun company does it and people show more ire.

Just a bit of a double standard

I grew up in a gun free household but I'm now that I'm a gun owner, I don't actually like the idea of toy guns, especially if you want to expose and involve future generations to the shooting sports. I think you end up having to undo a lot of the bad habits developed by playing with toy guns, like proper muzzle control and trigger discipline.

That said, who really cares if some dude duracoated his Glock to look like a Nintendo Zapper? This isn't exactly news, people have been painting their guns all kinds of dumb shit for years now, look at all the Star Wars inspired ARs. Until there is proof of actual negligence with a firearm, whatever.

The people who would know what it is, are in their 30s and 40s.

Also, there's only one of these in the world. We don't know if the guy even has kids or not, but that doesn't stop the fucking pussies in this thread from crying.

But what about the children?!

It's fucking stupid.

gun safety >>> my nostalgia

 

[Bloody Pulp]

Obviously they’re not selling them, so I don’t see an issue with it. You can make your personal guns look however you want. And keep in mind, they only LOOK like Nintendo Zappers. They certainly wouldn’t feel or operate like one.

My last TV can attest to that.

 

[Satur9]

As long as it isn't a weapon they carry, it is fine.

 

[jlagman]

It's fucking stupid.

If the owner practices gun safety, then both are achieved. So what's the problem?

 

[The Senator]

it seems like a monumentally bad idea to make a real firearm look like a toy.

This says it all.

 

[Y2Khaos]

It would be cool if it were a real zapper. It being a real gun is irresponsible and ridiculous and will get someone killed. People wonder why the police shoot kids who have "toy" guns and why kids shoot each other on accident.

Maybe because, as a poster mentioned, some toy guns try to look real.

Again, if firearms safety is observed; if this particular pistol isn't accessible to dumbass kids when not in use and basically serves as a way for someone to turn heads at the local shooting range, what's the problem?

It's a competition sized Glock, nobody's going to CCW that shit. We all know that this gun will live the majority of it's life either in a safe or on the range.

Hey look, NIJ rated Boba Fett armour, even more non-issues to have manufactured outrage over!

 

[Y2Khaos]

I have everything I need to make one in my closet right now. I bet other people do too, you know how some people are. Monkey see monkey do, putting that idea in someones head.

 

[jlagman]

And?

 

[jlagman]

Should have used an AMT Automag:

Except the value would tank.

 

[Kick Strickland]

kind of cool. but terrible, terrible idea.
