I was shocked. I had never researched this on the internet before. There's a surprising abundance of data out there. I need to go do more research...
This really reminds me of the 'Aliens' M41-A pulse rifle someone mocked up a while back. It was basically a Thompson .45 submachine gun heavily modified, with the addition of an underslung 12 gauge. They did really good work on it.
Yes, you would have to register it. The average citizen is limited to the most basic of mods (swapping butt stocks, adding tac lights, etc). Even mounting a foreward grip on a pistol makes it illegal.
U.S.C. 922r is the law that prevents most conversions without the necessary license. 922v prevents the 'creation' of a weapon without BATFE approval.
The odd technicality is that the law does not really prevent owning a modified or manufactured weapon, but just the creation. That gun pictured above, assuming that it is capable of firing, would be fine to possess, but not make. That being said, the BATFE could still seize it.

The rifle: Hmmm... trigger and fire selector switch appears to be from either an FN P90 or FN F2000.
The rake of the handle is a little extreme, but with the P90 design, one doesn't really hold the weapon down there. Could use an adjustable shoulder stock, though.
The pistol: Beautiful looking. But if I'm not mistaken, it is based around the CP1. This has been proven to be one of the most unreliable firearms ever made. Not only was it recalled, it came with instructions that required the shooter to repeatedly dissasemble the firearm repeatedly after the first several shots. Eventually, before the recall, the gun was sold with a warning that it shouldn't be fired.

For a really interesting take on this whole subject, watch An Evening with Kevin Smith.
You really get the impression that he's not a Tim Burton fan.
@Pope John Peeps II: Why is it so unbelievable that people are associated with individuals in the movie industry? Just because we have a penchant for geekish entertainment doesn't exclude the possibility of having an association with actors.
One of my best friends has worked with her in both transformers and has stated that she is a vapid, brain dead twit. He said that you instantly loose all attraction to her once she attempts to speak.
They're calling it a scar, so wouldn't it then be, "My God, it's full of scars"?
I thought this plot sumation sounded like the ramblings of hallucinagenic addict. That was unit I listened to the youtube video. Then I KNEW this was the ramblings of hallucinagenic addict.
@Jeb_Hoge:
Gawd, I didn't even look at that photo. Also, if Cobra had not been created yet, why does she have a cobra emblem on her shirt?
Yeah, I think I'll pass on this one.

OK, not to be too much of a nerd about it, but if the shoe fits...
First of all, in the thumbnail of Storm Shadow...HE DOES NOT CARRY A GUN!!! He never carried a gun. He had no use for a gun. He used a bow INSTEAD OF a gun.

Second of all, in the Snake Eyes thumbnail, if you are going to have your hero carry the latest "cool looking" gun, make sure the shells cascading from it are the proper type for the freaking weapon. The Fabrique Nationale Five seveN has rounds that are bottlenecked like a rifle cartridge. Christ, do some research.
@Dreadfish:
In a sceen later in the movie, apparently Duke makes love to a blue alien chick...And Fox News gets all butt hurt about it.
It looked like a kitchen utinsel or dentist's tool...
hmmm... I see someone else is fond of using their new perio-dental-turkey basting-anal probe. I ordered mine off the TV from Billy Mayes! Just make sure too wash it after each use, or things can get a little funny tasting.

The mash up on youtube of him talking about the cowboys was better though. Complaining about just buying a T.O. jersey and being emberassed to wear it was classic.
Dude I've worn half of those outfits for my wife on a Saturday night...
What, too much?
must resist obvious joke...must resist obvious joke... ... HOOOOOT SPAAAACE PUSS...DAMMIT!!!
GAWD, I am so ashamed.
Wait! The last part of the book is recipes!! (Sorry, obscure Twilight Zone reference).
I'll be spending my Thanksgiving as a test subject in a field study to observe the effects of gluttonous consumption of food and alcahol. That and watching UT whoop up on A&M! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
@Jeb_Hoge: Let me tell you, the first time you gear up in tactical gear, you can't help like feeling as though you're the biggest, invincible bad-ass on earth. After about 20 minutes, the profuse sweating takes care of that feeling.
The invasion is coming people, and this one thing is certain...
not one of us will ever roam alone!
Now I must go, as I feel an undefinable need to log on to travelocity.

You can keep your flying sharks. I'll take ill tempered sea bass with frickin' lasers on their heads for the win.
