Now you can buy those guns featured in District 9, at $500 U.S. They do look flippen sweet, but as the fine print mentions:
“PLEASE NOTE: Unless your genetic makeup is part prawn, you cannot power up or fire this gun.”
4,000 South African bucks is a tad pricey. Oh, what’s that you say, Alien gunk?:
This gun comes battle worn, alien gunk oozing out of its couplings and all the scratches and markings you’d expect from tough action in District 9 and by handling by Nigerian gun runners. It’s made mainly from glass fibre, with some details made from other materials. It comes with a wall mounting bracket for display.
That’s it SOLD. I’m out.

The Nigerian crime lord of the District 9 ghetto, Obesandjo, has amassed a significant cache of prawn hardware through terror and pushing tinned cat food.
