Turn Your Dead Space 2 Plasma Cutter Into a Real Weapon!
One of the coolest bits of special edition swag to come along in recent months has to be replica plasma cutter packed in with the Dead Space 2 Collector's Edition [http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Space-2-Collectors-Playstation-3/dp/B0047ODJAI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1304701582&sr=8-4]. Although not exactly full size, it's a pretty accurate rendition of the best gun in the game and even sports four colored LEDs, giving it a modicum of practicality as the world's nerdiest flashlight.
But an LED isn't going to do any damage to anything; for that, you'll need an upgrade. To lasers. Now I don't know much about lasers but I do know that they come with warning labels and I strongly suspect that this hack, which includes replacing the standard 650nm diodes with "high-power" units, completely disregards those labels and anything else resembling safety or common sense.
But I must concede that the final result is pretty damn awesome. Aside from looking ridiculously cool [and "realistic"], this new-and-improved plasma cutter packs enough punch to pop balloons and light matches with just a brief burst of fire. That's my kind of toy!
