Toy chainsaw + Nerf gun + time = DIY Gears of War gun
That's right about where we imagine his friend politely excused himself and phoned the local police, but even that couldn't stop Forsaken_angel24 from following through with his dream: he combined a Nerf gun with a toy chainsaw and copious amounts of free time to create a believable enough copy of the Lancer. How believable? The chain on the chainsaw actually moves, the lights actually light up, and it shoots totally realistic Nerf bullets. Still curious, peep the video after the break. Oh yeah, there's a video.
[Thanks, Phillip]

ummmm yeah...
seriously, though, you have to hand it to him. That turned out really well.
Beatz @ Jan 23rd 2008 1:25AM
I like the way he hides his face. Like even HE's ashamed to know that he had that much spare time to waste.
Still, props on the the nerf-lancer. Can't wait to read about how he stopped an actual robbery with that thing on Digg. You know it's gonna happen.

This guy's something of a legend in the nerf-mod/nerf-war community. He's known for his elaborate and innovative mods. He includes extensive how-tos on the Nerfhaven boards for those so inclined.

That's the how to on the Lancer. Check out his other stuff, too, its pretty righteous.

thats awesome.
rv @ Jan 23rd 2008 12:34PM
Now, can you run around at full speed while the chainsaw is revved by holding down the rev button? OR did he fix that glitch?
Huey2k2 @ Jan 23rd 2008 1:30AM
You know, he is a pretty big nerd for putting that much time into something so useless...
But at the same time, I am pretty sure I am an even bigger nerd for being jealous.
DangerMouse @ Jan 23rd 2008 1:34AM
Not my cup of tea, but it sure beats that blu-ray laser star trek crap.
Ranus Studios @ Jan 23rd 2008 1:37AM
PFFT.
I did that in my webcomic like a year ago.
Low quality of my webcomic notwithstanding.
paul @ Jan 23rd 2008 11:09PM
your a moron, doing it in a webcomic and doing it irl arnt the same thing.

Not accurate enough. He should rewire it so that every time the thing is bumped, the chainsaw shuts off. I'm pretty sure he can also fire while chainsawing. Tisk-tisk.
colin @ Jan 23rd 2008 1:42AM
probably wearing a mask so jack thompson doesn't find out he let his 12 year old play gears.

The chainsaw is backwards. ;]
But I'll give it a 'B' for effort - and 'backwards.' ;D
Beatz @ Jan 23rd 2008 2:06AM
Actually in that picture the chainsaw isn't connected yet, it's just the two things he's about to connect, but the perspective of the picture makes it look like the chainsaw is connected, and backwards. Gotta learn to click the link before you summarize the whole thing.

I'm just going to go with the classic: WTF, you got to be kidding me!
Anticrawl @ Jan 23rd 2008 2:18AM
Fucking awesome.
Imadogg @ Jan 23rd 2008 4:26AM
This is bonerfied greatness
michas_pi @ Jan 23rd 2008 4:54AM
Absolutely incredible.
Rollins @ Jan 23rd 2008 5:58AM
I think I'd be scared if someone came at me with that, even if I knew it was a Nerf gun. That thing's intense.
Amir @ Jan 23rd 2008 6:07AM
Awesome! Don't be hating on the fella man! The things badass!
Easo @ Jan 23rd 2008 6:43AM
The video should have ended with a sound bite of Cole saying **"Did you see that shit?"
**If you have never heard Cole say that, then you have never got a got a blind fire head shot with a sniper ;)
ALH @ Jan 23rd 2008 6:45AM
i want one :(
Poisoned Al @ Jan 23rd 2008 7:17AM
What a total waste of time.
I want to make one too!
xGeneral DEATHx @ Jan 23rd 2008 7:40AM
Definitely much cooler than the Blu-Ray diode phaser.
Set chainsaw to KILL!!!!
Sean Tyler @ Jan 23rd 2008 8:04AM
The donnie darko soundtrack makes me feel bad for watching the entire DYI video as that movie feels so cliche.... but hey i guess i have to give it to him for working so hard.
NeverSage @ Jan 23rd 2008 12:54PM
That's a good song... just because a song is in one movie doesn't make the song suck.
This is completely awesome, btw
xFenixKnightx @ Jan 23rd 2008 8:09AM
Props to you brother, that gun looks suweeeeet!!
LiK @ Jan 23rd 2008 8:12AM
omg, that's fuckin' sweet.
ThornedVenom @ Jan 23rd 2008 9:14AM
I could see those being sold at stores, but with orange bits painted on the extremity.
Obie @ Jan 23rd 2008 10:11AM
Whomever made that is one big no-life loser.....I wish I made it! :(
NeverSage @ Jan 23rd 2008 1:55PM
Whoa, Chris, calm down. I believe Obie was just making a joke, hence "I wish I made it! :(". Did you only read half of Obie's one sentence post?
NeverSage @ Jan 23rd 2008 1:56PM
Err... thought Chris replied to Obie...\/ \/
Chris @ Jan 23rd 2008 10:52AM
I hate when all the people who think something is a "waste of time" and "sad" get to post first because it immediately takes the wind out of the sails of these stories.
No one is calling you pathetic for being the first poster on a video game blog site.
It's the same for those people who freak out when someone says they think a fictional character from a game is hot. People just need to relax and enjoy the world around them.
This guy has a hobby, just the same as model building or putting together puzzles... or PLAYING VIDEO GAMES.
In any case, good job man it looks awesome, and I'm not even a big Gears guy.
SGT Grumbles @ Jan 23rd 2008 3:21PM
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Moakieuk @ Jan 23rd 2008 11:57AM
Gotta say, hats off the man. Great work.
Now I want one...
Zegim @ Jan 23rd 2008 12:54PM
I'm impressed. Great work.
Neebs @ Jan 23rd 2008 1:34PM
The original gun is so much like it...did he mold it any?
Grant @ Jan 23rd 2008 3:13PM
Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm not moving out of the basement until I am good and ready. I will get a job next week, this time i swear i'll actually go look.
My hobbies are not a waste of time! I got a bunch of uber geeks to think i am l337 on the internet for 15 minutes. Now i know what god must feel like when he P0wnz newbz.
Zeus.:God @ Jan 23rd 2008 5:47PM
Thats a great job, but whoever is producing the Halo laser tag guns need to make something thats actually cool... Like this. They need to make a scale Lancer and produce it for the masses...
dejide @ Jan 24th 2008 9:47PM
wow so cool. all we need now is a Gear of War armor which could be completed in time for haloween.
