Halo Covenant plasma rifle has overheat built in

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jul 28th 2007 at 2:45PM }

Jasman Toys unveiled at Comic-Con their line of Halo laser tag toys based on the Covenant plasma rifle, pistol and energy sword. Now all we need is a Covenant Elite costume and we'd be all set for Halloween. The guns even come with an "overheat" where the sides pop open to give them just that little extra bit of authenticity. The rifle is $120 and the pistol is $89, they'll be available in October.

These weapons are full-size replicas, not like the mini versions being created by Master Replicas -- but that's probably why they cost between four and eight times more. But we won't deny the joy possibility of playing laser tag with authentic looking Halo weapons.

They should do some of the UNSC Marine weapons as well. The M7 Caseless Sub Machine Guns and the BR55 Battle Rifle I guess for the similar balance in weapon style.

It'd make sense and be absolutely rad.

Unfortunately, it's against the law to have toy guns that look like real guns. It's so police can identify kids playing laser tag vs punks with heat.

So you could have your SMG and BR, but they'd have an orange barrel and whatnot.

Someone needs to make an actual firearm that's orange...

albinogoldfish @ Jul 28th 2007 3:42PM

Fuckin sweet, now I need to find 120 dollars...well I better put on some heels and hit the streets...

Best reply... ever!

I love anything halo related and even though the plasma rifle looks cool I don't see how its worth $120, and you also have the plasma pistol at $89? Come on what if someone wants to buy the whole collection of halo weapons, it would run well over a $1000.

I once made a working plasma rifle out of bamboo and coconuts, you know.

BPM @ Jul 28th 2007 3:30PM

I'd believe it, since you are the profressor, after all.

Irresponsible Robot @ Jul 28th 2007 3:30PM

I'd get a blue one.

Neebs @ Jul 28th 2007 3:36PM

When does it overheat? After holding it down too long?

harrison_schaerr @ Jul 28th 2007 4:05PM

no neebs, it overheats after you shoot someone to death =)

harrison_schaerr @ Jul 28th 2007 4:05PM

somehow i find it odd they chose the plasma rifle and the pistol...

why not the plasma rifle and the assault rifle? =)

or just go with the more popular ones, the pistol and the assualt rifle =)

guess the assault rifle would be more expensive to manufacture... but that's the gun i want! :)

ExMcloud @ Jul 28th 2007 4:35PM

They said they want to see how these weapons do first then they might make the AR and BR but they have to make them orange or something like that

harrison_schaerr @ Jul 28th 2007 6:20PM

awww... orange? that is so dumb... the assualt rifle looks nothing like any real world gun...

how much orange? just the tip? because we can rip that off :)

not sure how well these will do... none of them are favorites except maybe the sword, i want the sniper, or the pistol, or the assualt rifle!

Sasha Grey @ Jul 28th 2007 6:13PM

This game is an overhyped piece of shit. An everyone (except me) is on their knees sucking its dual wielding dick.

ExMcloud @ Jul 28th 2007 7:21PM

You know for something to be overhyped it has to be good first..So thanx for admitting that you think Halo is good but like so many you see liking Halo as a sign of conformity...So naturally you go against it and secretly want it fail.....Either that or you just suck at Halo......Yeah you probably just suck at Halo

Exbzurg @ Jul 28th 2007 7:39PM

I find it terribly ironic that you claim everyone but you is sucking halo dick when your handle is the name of a porn star known for deep throating. Well played.

harrison_schaerr @ Jul 28th 2007 6:21PM

hey, i didn't say i though halo 3 looked good, i said i wanted the assault rifle from halo 1.

i certainly won't be buying halo 3.

Sasha Grey @ Jul 28th 2007 7:31PM

@ExMcloud

I never said it was good. I just hate FPSs. An i hate people who play them. An i hate the developers who create them. An Halo is high on my list.

Rare Hare @ Jul 29th 2007 3:10AM

You hate people who play FPSs? Wow, you're lame.

Tell me, do such trivial things as genre-preference often cause hatred for you? Also, do you have many friends?

ssuk @ Jul 29th 2007 8:07AM

OH GOD, YOU PLAY FPS GAMES. I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU!! WA WA WA WA WAAAAAA....

How about this, I hate you. Now stop posting and go back to whatever 12 year old-friendly website you came from.

Sasha Grey @ Jul 28th 2007 7:46PM

@Exbzurg

I did that on purpose.

LordMinogue @ Jul 28th 2007 8:37PM

How on earth did they develop a laser tag MELEE weapon!?

Cheezyphish @ Jul 29th 2007 1:50AM

yeahh i was thinking that too! i mean. how long until some kid is on the news with an injury from an energy sword to the face, which will then be blamed on videogames, because halo is a video game and making th toys allows children to imitate what they see in videogames because videogames are satan in technological form.

mr_deadpool @ Jul 29th 2007 8:11PM

they're so expensive because they're metal and plastic(not just plastic, and they're weighted, and there are actually mechanized moving parts... yes, they're still overpriced, but, they're not crappy either.

Sasha Grey @ Jul 29th 2007 12:27PM

Rare Hare: I don't have any friends and i like it that way. Its just me and my girlfriend. (She just like me, she doesn't have any friends)

ssuk: I have nothing to say to you.

Hey, if you enjoy playing the same game over and over again, then more power to you. (When it comes to FPSs) Every FPSs that's released is the same as the last one. But people keep on buying them.
