Is this e-reader case a gun?

The Verge·July 25, 2026

Luke The Maker, a Louisville, Kentucky-based creator, has designed a 3D-printed, pistol-shaped case for the Xteink X4 e-reader, which he calls the "Gundle". The case, digitally modeled after a real gun, holds the e-reader vertically and has a cutout for accessing its buttons. Despite its realistic design, the Gundle is harmless and cannot shoot bullets, with the trigger having no function. Luke Blackford has showcased the unusual accessory, using it to read books such as Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian.
