Just in case the next Call of Battlefield isn’t enough murder simulator for you, Kotkin Enterprises’ Delta Six might be just what you’re looking for – it’s a console controller that looks like a real gun.<\/p>\n

The ultra-realistic controller features a built-in accelerometer and sight for aiming, as well as force feedback recoil, and you reload it by ejecting and reinserting a plastic magazine. It’s like practice for that mall rampage you’ve been planning all these years, or at least, that’s what they’ll say in the tabloids.<\/p>\n

With add-on accessories like optics, stocks, and grips, the controller can be reconfigured to resemble a submachine gun, assault rifle, or even a sniper rifle, although you’ll probably have to supply your own ghillie suit and teabag spikes.<\/p>\n

“We’re more excited about Delta Six than any other project to date. The Wii, and the Move tried but could not make a fun and innovative motion control for FPS games. So we had to,” said inventor David Kotkin. “This is fun for adults, not for gamers younger than 21.”<\/p>\n

No release date has been confirmed yet, although the Delta Six will reportedly launch at $89 (around R750). In the meantime, here’s an unintentionally terrible video trailer featuring typos and awkward live action acting:<\/p>\n
