As kids, we all built our share of toy weapons out of LEGO, but the end result was always a mess of different colored bricks that just looked weird. Here are some more authentic looking weapons. We told you about the Glock 17, but BrickGun actually has several models available. The BrickGun models are surprisingly accurate when compared to their real life counterparts. At the moment the company sells 5 different models including a Beretta 92FS, a Desert Eagle Mark XIV, a Glock 17 and 19, plus a limited edition Heckler & Koch MP5 which is sold out at the moment.

They won’t fire a projectile, but they have ‘working’ triggers, slides, hammers and other moving parts. The handgun kits range in price from $39.99 to $59.99 and include all the LEGO pieces and instructions you’ll need. Or you can order a CD with just the instructions or even purchase PDF files directly from the BrickGun website.

Next time you go to grab your little Taser stunner out of your purse, think about this: what would even be more frightening to a potential mugger is a grandma wielding a Taser shotgun. That’s right - Taser has announced an extended range projectile to add to your Taser arsenal.

Taser is of course targeting law enforcement with its new eXtended Range Electronic Projectile (XREP). It will fit any standard 12-gauge shotgun and smack you down with “the same Neuro-Muscular Incapacitation (NMI) bio-effect as our handheld TASER X26, but can be delivered to a distance of up to 100 feet, combining blunt impact with field proven TASER NMI.” Each projectile will come pre-packaged in a shell compatible with 12-gauge shotguns and will be transparent so police known which type of ammo they are taking you down with.

The Danish company Empire North is currently working on a special kind of sniper rifle. When gamers hear the words ‘sniper rifle’ they immediately think of some first person shooter game or another. However, this is not the case with this particular rifle.

Empire North is working on a GPS-based sniper rifle dubbed ID Sniper that is built to embed a tiny GPS tracking device on a target up to 1.1km away. This rifle will also be able to take pictures of the ‘target’ with the scope. Straight from the movies, the target will not …

How many games have you played that featured a railgun as a weapon? I’m guessing just a few under a thousand.
