One thing I thought would never happen has happened, some crazy weapon (Cat Silencer) from the wacky minds behind the Postal franchise has been picked up by the US Army for real-world use. All of this started when famed director Uwe Boll spent tons of money to create a special effect for his upcoming movie version of Postal. Something tells me that the Army is not actually using the same technology as genius Boll but some sort of reiteration on the idea. Check the press release below for more information on this ridiculous concept.
"NEWS-AP Tucson, AZ: The growing link between the military establishment and videogame developers just got a little tighter as one of the most controversial implements in the POSTAL game series arsenal—the “Cat Silencer”—is now part of real world, cutting edge weapons technology.
The “Cat Silencer” device that Uwe Boll spent a fortune to develop as a special effect for his upcoming “Postal - The Movie” (to be released May 23rd) is now ready for real world use by police and military forces around the world. In fact, the device was highlighted recently on Discovery Channel’s “FutureWeapons”, right alongside state of the art ordinance such as the Corner-Shot, a rifle with a camera-enabled sighting system capable of firing around corners and interfacing with modular weapons from an AK-47 and grenade launcher to the Cat Silencer itself.
“We’ve always considered ourselves a force for order in a chaotic world,” Running With Scissors CEO and weapon visionary Vince Desi told reporters. “It makes me stiffen with patriotic pride to think about what these weapons R&D people will do with the Badger Buzzsaw in our next game, POSTAL III.”

"And just for the record, no real cats were used, armed or harmed by Running WIth Scissors," noted animal lover VInce Desi assured the press.
