When it comes to homemade homages to video games, there are generally two spectra under which they fall. There are the cool ones, and then there are the scary cool ones. We’re fairly certain this falls under the latter category, as the man you see above has crafted a very real, functioning Lancer (also known as “the chainsaw gun” from Gears of War). It shoots real bullets, it has a real chainsaw bayonet. The creator, known only as SOC, apparently intended the creation as an “Anti Zombie Device,” so we don’t really know whether or not the homage to Gears of War was intentional. What we do know is that we’re staying very, very far away from this man’s yard. See a video of the weapon in action after the break (warning: several pumpkins are harmed).
