Travel a lot by air? Frequent federal buildings? If getting pulled aside in security screening lines never gets old, here’s your new pen.

The makers of the original write-anywhere Fischer Space pen recently introduced the .375 Bullet Pen, a lacquered brass version that comes with an actual .375 Holland & Holland Magnum shell as its cap. It’s a convincing knock-off that looks far mightier than a sword. All the usual Space Pen ink features apply; writes upside-down, under water, and in extreme temperatures. Available now for $25 @ spacepen.com.
