Weapons-Grade Gears Gear

Forget that plastic replica, this lunatic has built his own real-life Lancer.

By Ryan Davis  |  Dec. 1, 2008

What freaks me out is how field-ready this thing looks.
What freaks me out is how field-ready this thing looks.
Here's a sterling example of the hoary old adage about life imitating abject awesomeness. Aside from alpha-male behavior laced with homoerotic overtones, nothing sums up Gears of War's blunt-force attitude like the Lancer. Seriously, is there anything ass-kickier than a wicked machine gun with a friggin' chainsaw strapped on the front? As you can tell from this video that CrunchGear dug up, it's even better in real life. We're not talking about some kind of fancy Nerf gun you'd keep in the bottom drawer of your desk, but an actual AR-15 with a functioning chainsaw blade bolted on the front, undoubtedly by a man whose deep commitment to being an unmitigated bad-ass makes my life look like a 24/7 stuffed-animal tea party. Pass me a razzleberry cupcake, Mr. Bearingsworth!

Check out the video for yourself to see some pumpkins get treated like the skulls of some feeble Locust grunts, and don't try to deny the fact that you too would cackle like a madman if you saw this in person.

I would like to do lunch with this gentleman.

that's a little frightening.

What kind of manly man puts the safety on? Real many men eat safe for breakfast and crap out danger for brunch.

Well at least if the commies ever invade, our backwoods militias are armed to the teeth.

I love how his advancing-while-firing stance is super serious, but it all goes to hell when he tries to start up his silly chainsaw.

How much are they, and where can I get one? I have some Koffings to kill.

That'll be standard issue one day.

Is a modification like that even legal?

That's what she said.

Okay... So someone took a CHAINSAW and attched it to a ASSAULT RIFLE. I only remember someone taking a Toys R Us 'Happy fun times chainsaw!' and a Nerf 'Foam shooting bullets!' gun. And That was pretty awesome. Drawback to this gun? (Aside from the fact that if you slip while you're holding it and manage to fall on it in such a way as to re-enact that clown's death in Dead Rising ) Where does the petrol go?

It isn't a chainsaw unless it's a Stihl.

Do want.

He looks so playful when he goes to chainsaw those pumpkins. There's also a vid where he tries to cut down a tree which makes the chainsaw seem even more silly.

I've lost all faith in humanity.

The laugh makes the video.

don't fuck with that dude

That video is a prime example of why inbreeding is illegal.

Dude, I'm surprised the government hasn't erased all data of this ever existing: they need some secret weapons.

One of the best-known trademarks of Gears of War, the infamous "gun with a chainsaw on it" will tear opponents apart with absolutely no mercy.
