Hobbyist Builds Working Replica of Iron Man's Laser Gauntlet

Posted by Soulskill on from the looks-quite-handy dept.

Zothecula writes "Given that most real-life superheroes don't have the budget of Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne, you would assume that their gadgetry wouldn't be quite on par with what we're used to seeing in the movies. German cyber weapons hobbyist Patrick Priebe, however, has built his own working laser gauntlet... just like the one made famous by a certain Iron Man."

    All the effort to design this beautiful device and I totally don't see how it'll ever fit...

    Thank you. The GP has absolutely no business on Slashdot if he can't even distinguish Iron Man's palm-mounted arsenal from his wrist-mounted arsenal. It brings shame upon the entire community.

    A guy made something that sort of looks like Iron Man's gauntlet and behaves like Buzz Lightyear's. He won't tell you how he made it, but he might build one for you if you give him lots of money.

    To quote an ancient meme... lame.
