# Fake Gun Crafts MP Industries Felt Armory By Cowbag | Published 2008-07-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/felt-armoury-fake-felt-guns References: [mp-industries.motorberlin](http://mp-industries.motorberlin.com/) Ethical issues aside, I totally love this felt armory collection from MP Industries. From a design point of view, they are fantastic, much like the [china guns](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porcelin-guns-more-pretty-guns-for-your-tea-table) we've previously posted. But what I really like about the work by MP Industries is that each piece is a certified one-off which comes with a signed and stamped certification of origin. Therefore ensuring that that no model will ever be produced twice. As they say, "Luckily a large amount of weaponry exists on the planet, so we can be sure to serve our customers with both great care and an endless stream of novelty [one-off pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wesn-scrimshaw-henry-collection)." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Felt Weaponry:** Opportunity for businesses to offer unique, certified one-off felt weapons as a novelty item. - **Ethical Design:** Opportunity for businesses to create ethically designed items that tackle complex social issues in a creative manner. - **Certified One-offs:** Opportunity for businesses to offer unique, certified one-off items in response to the growing desire for individually tailored products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands could offer felt weaponry as a unique, ethical accessory item to their collections. - **Art:** Artists could create one-off, certified felt weapon pieces as a provocative commentary on the nature of weapons and violence. - **Crafting:** Craft stores could offer felt crafting materials and instruction on making felt weapons, offering a new, niche hobby for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gel Pellet Toy Guns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hasbro-1.md) - [Cultural Resistance Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gunia-project.md) - [Creator-Backed Toy Guns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mrbeast.md) - [Handmade Modern Ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-gunia-project.md) - [Shooting Target Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clockwerk-target-clocks.md) - [Ukranian-Supporting Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gunia-project-1.md) - [Contemporary Military Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-brand-rbtnk.md) - [Biometric Smart Guns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biometric-smart-guns.md) - [Artful Holiday Ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gunia-projects-holiday-collection.md)
