Bungie Employee With Halo Weapon Causes Massive Police Search

Kirkland Police search Bungie Studios/American actor Nathan Fillion tries out a replica Sniper Rifle

Anyone who had their eyes glued to Bungie webcams on Wednesday were given the treat of witnessing Kirkland (USA) Police Department giving a bit of an earful to some Bungie employees.

In the latest Bungie Weekly Update, it was mentioned that when a Bungie employee decided to go for a stroll down a nearby road wielding an SRS99D-S2 AM replica (the Sniper Rifle from Halo 3 for those of you who aren’t obsessive Halo nuts) a local resident alerted the authorities claiming that there was an armed lunatic roaming the streets.

KPD then proceeded to swarm the nearby streets searching nearby buildings trying to locate this armed madman. When they arrived at Bungie Studios, it is safe to say that they were not too pleased with the famous Halo developers.

A bit of a blunder for those Bungie employees who probably didn’t realise that not everybody can distinguish between a real rifle and one from a popular first-person shooter…
