These would make perfect things to play with in a classroom. Is not like dangerous os whatever. They also do not look like toys. Who would buy these weapons except for responsible people?

i hope Shamir has still some stuff at home or at his working place without holes in them :))))
@lukerville, judging by the work of goldsmith and weaponry master, only materials for any of those jewelry works cost way more than 200$.
and in this stage it will cost couple thousands dollars ;)
Very nice work Shamir, going to try to make something like that as well

Actually, they’re still dangerous. The canon is almost like a bb gun (maybe almost as dangerous as a gas powered one) and the crossbow can still do some pain. Plus, bringing them in a classroom would mean some other less brighter kids might come up with some “bright idea” and pull a prank which could result in an injury. Plus I don’t think you’re allowed to bring gunpowder to school :) P.S. Are you nuts?! you might poke an eye out or somethin!

With the right angle, these itty bitty weapons can do major damage. In fact, I’d trade my pepper spray for one of those crossbows anyday!

@ Derek Po
can you not see that mapache was being sarcastic?
btw these comments were so predictable. I know someone right away would be crying about safety. It’s DESIGN/ART. appreciate it for what it is?
for that matter we might as well cry about everything that is designed small because children could choke on them. Clearly these are designs made for adults to admire, not childrens toys…

Haha. Sorry. Someone had to say it. Yes, is predictable, but being obvious was a part of the joke. You are right, this is a design blog and people should stick to it with their comments.
Anyway, what I tried to say is that I would appreciate more this kind of items if the dichotomy of the innocuous looks of this guns compared to their real potential meant something OR if this things had a practical use. If you don’t pay attention to this, then you are forgetting both design and art.
But I wouldn’t devalue this, because is someone’s work after all. It was made out of effort and time. And is pretty too.
And I thought Derek Po was being sarcastic too. :S

@Jordan & @Mapache
I wasn’t crying ._. I only posted that because someone said “bringing it to school”
I don’t troll and I don’t complain about everything D:
I understand if you reacted right away when you read it but you should have read the part that says it was a reply to Mapache. Also, sorry Mapache ^^’ My brain is too naive to understand sarcasm.
