Storing data is much more productive than shooting bullets, so the Handgun USB Drive reappropriates the latter by turning it into something that can perform the former. A deep thought. That, or it simply takes a gimmicky form that kids, hipsters and everyone in between will want. Either way, the Handgun USB Drive is a tool that is both fun and functional--in a safe way.
Available for purchase from USBGeek's online shop, the Handgun USB Drive molded silicone and ranges from 4GB to 32GB. Although fairly realistic, once in hand, it becomes immediately obvious that it isn't what it first appears. Unless, of course, the Handgun USB Drive is one of those retractable cuff firearms like the one used by Christoph Waltz in 'Django Unchained.'
What's Driving This Trend
- Personalized USB Drives
- The Handgun USB Drive provides customizable and unique shapes for flash drives.
