We always thought the Sega Master System's stealth-black Light Phaser was cooler than our blaze orange NES Zapper, but we never thought it could actually mistaken for a real weapon -- it's pretty obviously plastic, after all. Yeah, we were wrong: a Brazilian man apparently held a 60-year old woman hostage at, uh, phaserpoint for 10 hours until surrendering to police. Next time? He's taking down a bank with a Super Scope.

Yes. (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=128579) It's still funny though. Or maybe this is a copycat crime?

Thats because even bankers know that nerf guns won't hurt anyone. And they're also pretty colorful. When's the last time you saw a flouresant orange and aqua pink uzi?

I feel a little safer knowing that those cops are in Brazil and not policing a town here in the US.
