As we all know, Blue Steel is the newest weapon skin to join the collection. Now, as many of you probably don’t know, the weapon skin does not have a shared description amongst other weapons in the set. So today, I was checking out every description since I got all of the skins recently, and I was happy to see them throw in a “Zoolander” reference for the Magnum’s (of course it’s the -Yoinking!- magnum, I love this -Yoink-) description. If you want to see it yourself, don’t click the spoiler, if you want to see it now, go ahead.
It reads…
“Propellants are the essence of kinetic energy, and kinetic energy is the essence of lethality.” This is an obvious reference to the scene in the movie “Zoolander”, where Derek is in a bar with his father and two brothers. Derek’s “AVEDA” TV spot appears on television. In the ad, Derek’s “Merman” persona states, “Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.”

> Nice reference, 343. I think there’s a Star Trek reference on a stance, but then again I can tie everything back to Trek lol
Which one? I’m not a big Star Trek nerd, but if it was an obvious line that’s known by everyone like, “Beam me up, Scotty.” then I may be able to help confirm if it is.
Wait, it’s the “Engage” one with the SAW isn’t it. That’s definitely a Star Trek reference.

> To be fair, most (if not all) of the blue steel skins have zoolander connections. Granted, some are more obvious than others.
Whoops, didn’t notice. The Magnum one stuck out like a sore thumb so that was the only one I noticed, the AR and SMG seem like generic runway lines to me though. Thanks for pointing that out!
