We always thought the Sega Master System's stealth-black Light Phaser was cooler than our blaze orange NES Zapper, but we never thought it could actually mistaken for a real weapon -- it's pretty obviously plastic, after all.

He also had two knives. Although the one of the knife doesn't look like I could cut warm butter, they're still dangerous in the hands of a mad man.
