Stuck with a defunct HD DVD drive that’s taking up precious space from your videogames and the Blu-rays? Got a need to inflict pain onto random strangers because your parents don’t love you enough? If you answered yes to both of those questions, then I have the perfect video for you!
This how-to guide from Instructables gives a detailed look at how to take the blue laser diode from the Xbox 360's HD DVD drive and turn it into a secondary weapon that attaches to Walther PPKs. What the video doesn’t show is what happens to all of the remaining pieces of the HD DVD drive. If I were to make this mod, I would sharpen up all of the plastic pieces into shivs to aid in my nerd rampage.
Or, you know, just use the gun.

Now all I need is the money for a HDDVD, a gun, a diode housing, a solder gun, a laser guide for the gun, driver circuit(with all extra bits.)
Oh...
Plus they cost like 5 bucks a pop, compared to their 30 dollar Blu Ray counterparts.
Just sayin'...
But there's like, what, 50 movies to choose from?
Also, I'm from the south, the gun will be the easy part :)
You'll all see.
