Contemporary Vampire Hunting

Howard Gribble brings us this contemporary take on the classic vampire hunting kit on display at the NRA's headquarters in Virginia. The coffin-shaped case is a bit over the top, but the craftsmanship, from the ebony case to the detailed engraving on the revolver, is amazing.

I'm no gun fan, but like you said, you have to admire the craftsmanship.

I don't think a vampire hunter would take it seriously. But in a different reality, I could see it being sold for home protection.

So that's how the NRA stops those anti-gunners: spot them with the mirror, splash them with the holy water, drive a stake through their alleged hearts, and shoot them in the head for good measure.

Abraham Van Helsing is my president!

What a good find, and who would have known that they were in to horror props.

Neat; but my Katana is much more fun, what with the slashing and dismembering and impaling and decapitating and such. ;)

Ok, maybe not the best Zoidberg imitation...
