Super Mario has been modeled in many different ways, but this Super Mario bullet sculpture from 'That's What I Do' is one of the most symbolic and violent recreations I've seen.
This Super Mario bullet sculpture is made out of 45 ACP cartridges and is intended to reflect the "gaming evolution of the public." This figure does a good job of depicting the pugnacious progress of video games over the years, from platforming kid-friendly affairs to adult-only shoot-em-ups.
