The Modified Dead Space Plasma Cutter Can Pop Balloons and Light Matches
Michael Hines — May 7, 2011 — Unique
Modder KipKay has managed to turn a replica Dead Space Plasma Cutter into a deadly laser gun. The modified Dead Space Plasma Cutter shoots out two lasers, each powerful enough to light a match and pop a balloon.
The modified Dead Space Plasma Cutter was made using "two blue 1W laser diodes from a DLP projector, a single purple 600mW laser diode from a 12x Blu-ray burner and two micro drivers," according to Dvice. While those parts may not sound badass, they come together to form one of the most deadly gamer replica weapons around. Perhaps the best thing about the modified Dead Space Plasma Cutter is that KipKay has included an instructional video. I'm not sure many people are talented enough to make their own, but I also wouldn't be surprised to read about a robber holding up a bank with what was supposed to be a "replica" weapon. Check out the video to see the awesomeness in action.
