Countless children, and more than a few adults, have played with toy versions of Spider-Man's web-shooters, the kind that shoot water or Silly String or short strips of nylon rope. However, it's never quite like the "actual" thing, or so I'm guessing (come on, in some cases you're essentially strapping a squirt gun to your wrist).

Enter Patrick Priebe, described by Gizmag as a "German laser weapons hobbyist" -- everybody needs a hobby, right? -- who has crafted his own real-life web-shooter. Only instead of web fluid, it shoots a brass-tipped mini-harpoon at the end of a length of fishing line. As you can see, it's pretty impressive, with a triggering mechanism beneath the glove and even an aiming laser. But Priebe doesn't stop there: He's also created a wrist-mounted burning laser and a Cyclops-inspired visor ... with burning lasers, naturally. Check and mate, Peter Parker!
