Gamer Weapon Replicas

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Fallout 3 Terrible Shotgun has Become a Reality

— November 6, 2012 — Tech
Gaming enthusiasts who would love to feel what it’s like to handle the weapons in real life will love the Fallout 3 Terrible Shotgun replica.

This rugged gun was created by Volpin Props for the web series Nuka Break which is a fun, half-comedy-half-serious enactment of the video game. Other than the rear stock and grip which are red oak, the shotgun is mostly made out of metal; and while the hefty 8-pound weapon may look dangerous, it is not made to fire any actual rounds. Some of the realistic features include two drum magazines that are locked in place by magnetic catches so the actors can appear to change the magazine while filming.

Video games become closer to reality with the Fallout 3 Terrible Shotgun replica.
