Bluetooth Handgun Handset for your iPhone: iGiveUp


by ManaEnergyPotion on Jul 11, 2008 in tech & craft

How to turn an airsoft handgun and a bluetooth headset into a fun, fully functional handset for your iPhone. Pull the trigger to receive calls and to, um, end them. Listen through the barrel, and talk into the grip.

I think everyone has made the thumb and forefinger gun-to-the-head sign when someone unpleasant shows up on their caller ID. Eli and I thought it would be fun to make an actual gun handset, and it turned out to be surprisingly straightforward. No glue or powertools were required.

Even though it's not very practical, there's something so satisfying about ending a call with this handset. Pow.

Naturally, this handset works with any cell phone. You just feel like pulling the trigger more if you own an iPhone.

Oh yeah, this will end well.



Well, at least now if you screw up today at work you can tell your boss "Well, okay, trying to photocopy my butt on the fax machine wasn't a good idea. But at least..."
