That’s right, starting Jan 1, 2012 Xbox Live is officially removing all ‘gun-like’ items from the Avatar marketplace. It seems a tad bit ridiculous honestly, but Microsoft has always had a weird set of restrictions as to what an Avatar can and can’t do. In just two days, Microsoft will be adding to that list by preventing the sale of any guns to avatars. If you’ve already purchased one you don’t need to worry because Microsoft isn’t banning the actual use of guns on Avatars; so you can still sport your gun proudly for the world to see. This means, however, that if you ever have or ever will want any sort of gun for your Avatar, you need to grab it now before time runs out! To make it easy as possible for you, here’s a list of all the items that might be disappearing with the start of the New Year:

-Brush Launcher

-Freeze Ray

-Gold Hammerburst

-Gold Lancer

-Halo Scarab

-Hammerburst

-Lancer

-Miniature Tank

-RC Goliath Drone

-Rick’s Tank

-Robocop Toy
