See the Wiimote AK-47 mod

This video was released a couple of months ago, but if there's one thing we can't pass up it's a great sight gag. You have to respect a guy who would go through all the trouble of merging a Wiimote and a plastic AK-47 just so he could use the butt of the gun to smash the noses of the titular critters in Rayman Raving Rabbids.

What's more, the modder actually goes through the trouble of teaching you how to tie a shemagh to help increase the verisimilitude of your experience. What a value!

[Thanks, overflow]

A little less odd/extreme than dressing up as a Middle East terrorist, but touché my good sir.

Abuzar: Apr 25th 2008; 1:11AM

Dressed more like Romanian special forces than a terrorist.

OUR U.A.V. IS ONLINE!!

+5 internets for you.

Seriously though, thanks, that gave me a good laugh.

vectorelement: Apr 24th 2008; 11:01PM

No, thank you.
I've done my good deed for the day.

TheHuntIsOn: Apr 24th 2008; 4:40PM

Have to wear that around town tomorrow! I'll be untouchable because they'll think I'm an ethnic minority!

Logic wins!

Cal: Apr 24th 2008; 7:47PM

Until you run into a nice bunch of charvas =)

Synner wasn't the first to comment?

Come on dude, you're dropping the ball ;)

John: Apr 25th 2008; 7:14AM

I have a real AK, I don't need a plastic toy one ;P

Besides, I'm not a fan of arts and crafts, but good to see I have a following.

nick.XIII: Apr 24th 2008; 5:18PM

omg, that was full of win. SILENCE!*smack!*

Cativo: Apr 24th 2008; 5:33PM

Make sure to go run out to show your creation to your neighbours! ;)

mko: Apr 24th 2008; 6:00PM

HAHAHAH! I'm sure shouting "Wiimote, rayman raving rabbids" while waving a gun around in the street would get the police there in like 3 seconds!

THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime): Apr 24th 2008; 6:41PM

I hope he plays in front of the window to scare the neighbors! lol

I wonder if Bush is going to move troops into all of our suburban areas to fight the War on Wii Terror.

colin: Apr 25th 2008; 10:04AM

please don't bring partisan politics to my joystiq ...

Eric: Apr 24th 2008; 8:37PM

haha! That first comment reminds me of my buddy and me playing Gear of War.

We were deployed together so we have a lot of arabic inside jokes, and in gears when he gets frag tagged he yells "allah akbar".

deedat: Apr 24th 2008; 10:49PM

nice. ten points to you and your freind for being completely ignorant.

Eric: Apr 24th 2008; 11:21PM

Ignorant?

You know nothing of serving your country or sacrifice or what mindset we have to put ourselves in to make life away from everything we know possible. Don't you talk about ignorance. You show how ignorant you are by your comment. Keep up the good work. And good luck in high school next year, its a real bitch, especially with all the bullies and all.

Abuzar: Apr 25th 2008; 1:14AM

How do you know he knows nothing of serving his country? He could be a Navy pilot, or a Army Ranger for all you know.

Just because you make stupid jokes doesn't make you patriotic.

Allah Akbar.

SovietSpartan: Apr 25th 2008; 1:52AM

Umm did you even read his comment? He was deployed with his friend AKA he served in the military with his friend. Deedat and Abuzar, reading comprehension FTL. Especially Abuzar, of course he would know about serving his country since he was in the military, and if you were referring to deedat obviously he didn't serve in the military because he would not insult a fellow soldier, pilot, etc.

The anti-videogame crowd will have a field day with this one... that, and this is hands-down the best Wii peripheral ever.

Mark C: Apr 25th 2008; 10:24AM

crap.
