Jasman has quietly rolled out Halo-themed Laser-Tag guns in the form of a Plasma Rifle Laser-Tag and Plasma Pistol Laser-Tag (links to Hushed Casket's Amazon store).  The devices are near life size and have the characteristics of the in-game weapons like overheating, rate of fire, sounds.  These guns aren't cheap. They'll cost you about $80.  But, they could easily offset the cost of paintball gear with next to no lifecycle costs.

Me?  I'm interested in the guns.  Playing Laser-Tag in high school and college was extremely fun.  I could see how these guns could do the same.

But, come on.  The Plasma Pistol and Rifle aren't popular weapons in the Halo universe.  No one is on XBOX Live playing 2-v-2 with Plasma Rifles and Pistols.  I can't imagine these Laser-Tag weapons being much more fun.   I know I don't want to have to pull the P-shooter's trigger a dozen times in 4 seconds to score a kill.

 Where is the Carbine or the Beam Rifle?
