Note that I said "confronting." I can't say "answering" because that presumes there is a good reason for the absence of urinal faculties in Ryu, Mega Man and Princess Peach. And when we get to the end of this video by Gameboyardee, we are left with even more questions. More »

There's a place called "The Gun Store" in Las Vegas where you can shoot a real AK-47 at different targets (including zombies and Osama bin Laden, though I suspect the latter has been discontinued). It's expensive, over a dollar per round, and as you can imagine, those will mount up pretty quickly when you are shooting an AK-47. They have loads of other guns as well, including a 1911 Colt .45.
