    Look at this advert thingy, it looks like the pistol from TF2 and a Scouts hand.

    I saw another one before that I thought looked remarkably like the HL2 magnum, also for shooting iPhones.

    I actually thing these scams are useful.They expose and rob the ones stupid enough to grab the bait.

    Regarding the TF2 pistol use , i think VALVe should sue.It is copyright infringement

    On those "Free FPS" advertisements I constantly see, the M4 Carbine is clearly stolen along with the Deagle, and used in the advert.

    I used to see versions of these with COD4 hands etc. They always do it because it is easier than creating their own. Sue.

    If you constantly play the game, you're going to be able to identify it.
