5 of the best war gadgets

Hasbro F/X Lightsaber
From £30, Amazon.co.uk
From the moment Obi Wan Kenobi turned on that lightsaber in the original Star Wars film, we've all fantasised about owning this fictional breed of weaponry. And no matter how hard you tried, playing with normal swords was just never enough from that point on. You may not able to slice through steel doors with Hasbro's efforts, but with awesome motion-sensor controlled sound effects – think vwoooooom – and battle-clash lights there's no better way to settle that festive dispute?
