The Stuff Office resembles a war zone – and not just because of the general unkemptness of the desks. Essential office attire is now this, the flak jacket styled, 3rd Space FPS Vest.

It’s a piece of gaming attire packed with eight pneumatic cells that can deliver virtual bullet hits, body blows and explosion impacts direct to the torso.

With the cells strategically placed around the vest, it’s actually possible to work out where shots are coming from. And they pack some punch – ranging from a light tap to a full on thud from a close range direct hit.

It plugs into a PC via USB and, as an added bonus, comes with copies of 3rd Space Incursion and Call of Duty 2 but it’ll also get its game on with Quake 4, Medal of Honour Airborne and other suitable frag fests.

We’d say it’s the best pneumatic gaming vest we’ve ever seen but then we do have a vested interest. Geddit? Vest-ed interest. Oh, really. Sometimes we just crack each other up for hours.
