Intrigued by the scene in Iron Man 2 in which Tony Stark cuts down drones closing in on him and War Machine using a laser fired from his glove, custom prop and gadget creator Patrick Priebe set out to make one of his own. And within three weeks, he had it, complete with working lasers, light-up palm and sound effects.

As a bonus, he can also eject spent "cartridges" from the top of the gauntlet.

Although Priebe probably isn't ready to face a battalion of drones or, say, a homicidal artificial intelligence -- his lasers aren't that intense -- as he demonstrates in the video below, he can unleash hell on balloons, a block of wood and a menacing-looking piece of fruit.
