Wife to husband: "Honey wake up...armed burglars have broken into the house and are coming upstairs. Where's that gun you said you had?...QUICKLY!"

Husband: "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!"

I'm sorry. I really hope that guy is autistic and doesn't know any better - and has friends or family to help him distance himself from such creations.

Anyone who thinks that recreating a lethal weapon from parts 'scavenged' from a puzzle is 'cool' needs to be educated imminently and firmly. This is entirely irresponsible.

The concept of knife (a slicing edge) is pretty much an accident of banging two rocks together. To recreate a deadly weapon intended to be used by humans, from a puzzle, require a lot of foresight and marked lack of judgement.

So let me get this straight. It's a giant metal puzzle and buried inside the puzzle are the parts to build a gun. Meaning you could put the puzzle back together without the gun parts and it would look the same. The actual puzzle pieces don't make the gun but just hold the parts? So, I could fold an origami box around a grenade and call it a puzzle? Although, the puzzle itself is cool looking the added gun doesn't really do anything. Now if the 100+ parts could all be reassembled to make a gun or something else, that would be a very cool transformer type puzzle.

Calling this guy irresponsible for creating a gun in a puzzle is a little much isn't it? Have you seen the rest of his puzzles? They are going for $500 and up. I'm sure the intimidator is going for at least around $8000. No little kids are going to get their hands on this puzzle and furthermore a gun really isn't that hard to make. And a gun doesn't have to be a killing instrument. Might as well get rid of all sharp pencils for fear of stabbing.

A gun's only purpose is to kill...

[Manifestjp]

How so? A guns main purpose is to fire a projectile. It's up to the user to decide where said projectile goes.

Yah! Don't knock guns. You can use them for splitting Apples in half while on top of people's heads!

Just don't go all Cannastra while doing it.

and Maxton is a very good puzzle designer...
Too bad his stuff is so expensive... But it is high quality...

[Suskis]

fact: in USA you can buy a real gun for a fraction of the price of this puzzle. and use it immediately.
it can be labelled as "bad taste" maybe... it surprised me nevertheless
