Engineering wizard builds astonishing rotating Halo rocket launcher that plays the theme

Where to start with this one. Okay: all other videogame weapon builders can give up. This guy's done it, cracked the case so to speak, and made probably the most unbelievable game-inspired item I've ever seen. This is Halo's SPNKR (geddit) rocket launcher somehow constructed as a real and working 'weapon', with rotating barrels like in the game. And it plays the Halo theme.

He works on ambitious build projects that «utilize hazardous materials and tools that carry a risk of fire, explosion, poisoning, blunt trauma, electrocution, major lacerations, evisceration, or any number of other dangers.»

I also love him for the phrase «Please practice model rocketry responsibly» which appears at the start of the above video, in which he explains the process of building this thing and shows it off against some targets. However, if you just want a one-minute clip of someone dressed up as Master Chief firing this thing into a lake from the back of a Mongoose… et voila!

Jarius says he's wanted to build this thing «for over 15 years,» although the build is based on the weapon's design in the most recent Halo game, Infinite. This guy just just likes rockets a lot, basically, «so naturally I find the coolest weapons in videogames to be the rocket
