RAGE Against The (Russian) Machine

If you are an FPS fan, you’ve probably racked up an immeasurably high virtual body count using hundreds, if not thousands, of different weapons. From auto-shotguns, to plastic explosives, to chainsaw rifles, you’ve seen it all. But after doing away with so many of these video game bad guys, you may occasionally start to wonder what these weapons would look like in real life. But, instead of going postal and proving Fox News and the Jack Thompsons of the world right, check out one of my favorite Youtube channels: FPS Russia.

FPS Russia is a channel comprised of videos made by a charmingly insane guy who dubs himself the “Professional Russian”. Although it’s unclear whether or not he’s actually Russian, what is clear is that he gets his hands on some serious hardware. Being the gamer that he is, our rusky hero often custom builds these splendid objects of annihilation to imitate well known weapons from video games, such as this real life version of the RC XD in Call of Duty: Black Ops. If you like, you can also watch him vent his frustration when his Xbox dies. Who hasn’t wanted to do this to their Xbox when they are mocked by those god damn red rings of death?

One of his most recent videos his centered around weapons from Id’s upcoming title; RAGE. This is truly a must see video if you’ve ever wondered what would happen in real life to a mutant if you shot him with a magazine fed 12-gauge shotgun, an automatic rifle, and an exploding crossbow. Yeah, you read that last part right, a FUCKING EXPLODING CROSSBOW!

Developed by Id and published by Bethesda, the upcoming post-apocalyptic sand box game RAGE is slated for release on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on October 4^th in the states, and October 7^th in Europe.
