Master craftsman Harrison Krix has built himself a replica of Gordon Freeman’s Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2. It’s really something.
Made internet famous by similar projects based on the weapons of series like Mass Effect and World of Warcraft, the gun has that post-apocalyptic finish you’d expect, along with some amazing lighting effects that bring the whole thing to life.
You can see a massive gallery of the gun charting its progress from drawing board to finished product at Krix’s Flickr page.

It’s…it’s beautiful! Imagine if Volpin threw a mini vacuum cleaner motor in there to ‘grab’ light objects like cans and reverse function to shoot them off!
Haha that looks amazing!
I was disappointed because, for the briefest moment there, I had a strange lapse in judgement and thought that somewhere in this world, someone had developed a zero-point gravity field manipulator.
It is certainly a nice model, however. The toaster-like orange glow is very pretty to boot.
