Move Over Tony Stark: This Guy Made An Iron Man Gauntlet With A Real Missile

One of the cooler scenes in the first Iron Man movie was the one where Tony Stark is confronted by a tank, and he simply fires a missle from his gauntlet, turns around and starts walking away, knowing it’s going to find the mark and blow up the tank.

Guess what? Patrick Priebe can recreate that scene in real life.

Okay, maybe his missile wouldn’t be enough to bother a real tank, but his homemade Iron Man gauntlet actually does fire a missile, and that’s pretty darn impressive. He’s already done one with a laser (and as you’ll see, this one has a laser built into the palm too!), so he’s about one Arc Reactor and a propulsion system away from suiting up as part of a real world version of the Avengers.

He’s not willing to show anyone how to make another one, so please don’t ask him. We’d hate for him to have to carry out an actual Armor Wars on all of his imitators. That never ends well.
