Yup, this is a thing that is happening. Pocket-Lint went to a trade show in Hong Kong where they spotted this 1:1 scale Heckler & Koch MP5 sub-machine gun. Unlike all of the other plastic gun shells out there, this gun actually has the Wiimote, nunchuck and even MotionPlus all built into it already. The sub-machine gun also has rumble functionality, speakers and rechargeable battery that can be charged up through a USB cable.
The Chinese company that made the sub-machine gun controller is looking to bring it to the US, but something tells me they're going to have one hell of a time doing it. Even with the orange tip, this thing looks way to real.
Even though I know this thing is useless and will most likely cost way too much if it does get released here, I still really want it.

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Shhhh. Don't give them any ideas.
playing a game in whcih your characters hold a M4 or anything else.
Those were MP5's but this is the MP5-K as it has a (fake) collapable shoulder stock.
My wife and I both want one of these. If these work as advertised I would pay the $80 each these would likely cost. Since it's the same as buying a Wiimote and a nunchuck.
Figure $20 for the gun.
Also if they release it here it will probably be all orange plastic since the cops in the US tend to shoot people with black guns even if they are toys.
I hope we get these since most Wii guns suck. The built in Rumble would be awesome too.
For all you anti-gun people it's a toy arcade light gun, not a real gun, so grow up!
