Who knew that Adam Savage had the same obsession with this gun that I do? I’d wish I were as crafty as he is, but I think I’m just going to have to be satisfied with living vicariously through him, as most of us do. Like him, I’ve wanted Deckard’s gun since the first time I saw the movie, and would, like him, freeze-frame the movie again and again to ogle it in all its gunny glory. But I didn’t spend six years machining and molding an exact replica. He did.
