According to an article published by Mashable on Monday, Texas-based Precision Syndicate LLC, a prototyping company, made a gun that looks very much like the old Nintendo gun accessory released in the 1980s in Japan and the United States.
News of this product, a modified Glock, has led to quite a firestorm on the web, mostly from concerned people thinking about the dangers it would pose for police and children.
