Title: US gun manufacturer makes Nintendo Zapper Glock
Post by: kat on April 11, 2016, 04:14:12 PM
A custom gun shop in the USA Nintendo'd a Glock pistol (https://www.facebook.com/961512027222143/photos/a.961529920553687.1073741828.961512027222143/1149354621771215/?type=3&theater). It's real although it looks convincingly like an actually controller shaped like the Glock rather than the other way around. As might be expected this has some media outlets stirring the pot again (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/eyebrows-raised-as-us-gun-manufacturer-makes-nintendo-zapper-glock/0165314) (and disingenuously using the opportunity to push an anti-gun narrative). A more interesting angle to have pursued might have been to discuss the legalities of using Trademarks and well known branding that's likely to have been unlicensed, especially where Nintendo is concerned as they are notoriously protective of their branding and products.
