# Superhero Web-Shooting Gadgets This Webshooter Was Unveiled for the Spider-Man Film Release By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-04-18 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiderman-film References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/spider-man-webshooter/31678/) & [laser-gadgets](http://www.laser-gadgets.com/contact.php) German laser weapons maker Patrick Priebe created this wearable electromagnetic webshooter, inspired by the [iconic superhero](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-flash) who will be returning to the big screens with the release of the latest Spider-Man film. The web-shooter actually fires a harpoon-tipped length of fishing line towards Styrofoam targets. Priebe's webshooter is worn on the wrist and fired by pressing on a button that sits on a plate under the glove material on the user's palm. Unlike [Spider-Man's webshooter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstations-spiderman-2), however, this one even features an [aiming laser](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photon-matrix) and LEDs that indicate its operational status. The mini-harpoon is fired from a small coil gun that is charged by holding down a button on the palm. All of the webshooter's power requirements are served by a single lithium-polymer battery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wearable Electromagnetic Gadgets:** Opportunity to develop innovative wearable technology that incorporates electromagnetic capabilities for various applications. - **Advanced Laser Weaponry:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the field of laser weapons, including precision targeting and improved power efficiency. - **Smart Accessory Design:** Opportunity to create smart accessories that combine functionality and style, providing users with enhanced features and aesthetics. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Market for innovative consumer electronics that leverage electromagnetic technology and advanced features. - **Defense and Security:** Disruptive innovation in the defense and security industry, with focus on laser weaponry and advanced targeting systems. - **Fashion and Accessories:** Industry for smart accessory design, incorporating cutting-edge technology and stylish aesthetics for everyday use. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Arachnid Superhero Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-x-marvel-spiderman-collection.md) - [Power-Free Water Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spyralx.md) - [Gel Pellet Toy Guns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hasbro-1.md) - [Triple-Mode Powered Water Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spyrathree.md) - [3D Superhero Block-Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazing-spiderman-set.md) - [Superhero-Themed Dinosaur Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/web-chompin-spider-rex.md) - [Meme-Themed Cartoon Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spider-man-no-way-home.md) - [Sci-Fi Film-Themed Dart Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starfleet-phaser-blaster.md) - [Creator-Backed Toy Guns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mrbeast.md)
