It seems that Microsoft have removed any guns and weapons props from the avatar marketplace and replaced it with...tattoos.
The transparent design sleeves are worn with a plain t-shirt, and add a tribal, kanji or flame style tattoo to each of your avatar's arms. I have no idea why Microsoft have not just made this actual tattoos though. Perhaps they don't support actual tattoos? Not that it is that important anyway.
You can kit out your avatar in these "tattoos" for around 160/240 MSP in the Avatar marketplace on Xbox Live.
Microsoft have announced that all gun props, including the Gears of War Lancer or Hammerburst, will be removed from the Xbox Live Avatar Marketplace. If you already own one of these items, then fear not, you'll be one of the lucky ones to keep hold of it whilst plenty more people will be blocked from even getting a chance to acquire one.
If you're quick though, you can download a Lancer or Hammerburst from the marketplace until the 1st January 2012.
This means that from the 1st January 2012, Microsoft will no longer allow any weapon/gun props into the marketplace. How do you feel about this though? Let us know in the comments!
