There's badass prop replicas and then there's these replicas of Deckard's pistol from Blade Runner. To add insult to your silent cry of "Why the hell aren't I rich? I hate my life!" is the all-metal version that has lights and sounds built in. Here's a taste:

There are two sound for the start up, one that sounds like a High Energy Charging system startup and another that is more like a robotic woman's voice saying "Weapon Armed", to change you need to look between the ammo housing and the front of the trigger guard, in there you will find a small slide switch which controls which sound effect is played.

Tip of the iceberg. And too freaking sweet. The man's name is Richard Coyle, and he's got a website where he details the creation of this gun and other prop bits.

I think this didn't make it into the shooting script:

Q: Well, you see, 007, this may look ridiculous but the teddy bear actually explodes upon impact. These have been known to put fist-sized holes into armored-plated vehicles.

BOND: Hmmm. All right, Q, I'll...take your word for it.

(BOND leaves.)

Q: (snickering) Everyone! Everyone! He believed it!

(ALL laugh.)

M: I wish I could see the look on his face when he tries that on a tank.

Okay, we're lying bastards. It's really a teddy bear gun you use at Japanese wedding receptions.

Yeah, I know. The Bond thing seems more plausible. Found via Gizmodo.
