New Zealand prop production company Weta has released a rockin' replica of the TF2 'Sentry Gun.' This team is famous for helping to bring some of the most iconic objects of pop culture to life, with the TF2 'Sentry Gun' as no exception.
The turret, which is supposedly ordered to provide decoration for the TF2 office space, looks, sounds, and even feels like its in-game counterpart.
The only thing it can't do is fire bullets. It looks like the TF2 team will have to find some other way to keep the TF2 'Sentry Gun' from being overrun by drooling admirers.
