A Real Portal Gun That is Also a Lie

When people talk about Portal, they usually mention that infamous fake cake. Which, y'know, is understandable considering cake is mad delicious. Mmm! Especially real cakes that you can eat because they aren't a lie. Those are our favorite.

So we understand why people were pissed when they found out it was all a ruse. And that's why we think Portal should be remembered not for the annoying cake-teasing, but for that cool-ass white gun that shoots blue/orange portals! That thing is amazing. We should hire someone to make a real one. Like this guy who actually did:

Whoa, that's real? Holy crap! Harrison Krix is a genius. We can't wait to buy one. Screw the bus! We're gonna portal our way 'round tow...wait, what's this? This thing is fake? A prop? A...lie? Not again.

Continue after the break to see some more shots.





And check out Harrion's blog to see just how he put together this totally real-looking fake gun.

Same guy that did the Bioshock Big Daddy costume for DragonCon. This dude is a genius.

Now that is a practical gun. I just pop one at work and the other at home and boom - I can have my smoke breaks in bed!

By the way, I am ignoring all words and comments that say it is fake - its sooooo real!!!

That's so awesome. I'm going to need this guy to make me one. It would make a cool display piece.
