Fans of video games are pretty quick to turn in-game items into real-world props, leading to some absolutely stellar pieces of artwork. While these are frequently used to make impressive cosplay or just to hang on shelves, some are meant to be shown off. Now, aCall of Dutyfan on Reddit has whipped together an impressive-looking Ray Gun from the franchise’s popular Zombies mode.
Reddit user LaserGadgets created a life-size replica ofCall of Duty’sRay Gun complete with working lasers and lights. The Ray Gun is made of full metal and is incredibly accurate to the one seen in-game. The weapon is one of the most iconic weapons in theCall of Dutyfranchise as a whole, and it’s pretty cool to see it recreated with so much detail. It’s almost as impressive as oneDestiny 2fan’s Ace of Spades propwith a working Memento Mori.

Artwork and props have been popping up quite a bit lately. Just recently, fan-madeartwork ofBloodbornein a modern settingbegan circulating. The artwork proved to be an amazing mash-up, making fans hope for more news about a potential sequel. Of course, creating props and designing artwork require two very different skill sets, but they’re both awesome ways to pay homage to video games.
Seeing a real-world Ray Gun in action is enough to stir up someCall of Duty: World at WarZombies nostalgia. Unused bitsZombies in Modern Warfarewas found in a recent data mine of the game, though it’s unclear if the mode will actually make it into the most recent addition to theCall of Dutyfranchise. It’s something that fans would certainly love to see, but Infinity Ward has been working quite a bit of content into the game already.
There are plenty of othericonic video game weaponsthat deserve treatments as good as this, though the Ray Gun is certainly cool to look at. The laser actually appears to be pretty intense, so it may even be enough to take down a few zombies itself. Of course, the odds of it dropping out of a mystery box are pretty low, so fans may not be able to get their hands on one in the real world.
