Marilyn Manson wielded a fake semi-automatic rifle during a performance in San Bernardino, Calif., on Sunday — less than two years after a horrific terror attack occurred in the city.
The artist — whose shock-value antics have regularly garnered attention over the years — showcased the fake weapon as he sang his song "We Know Where You F---ing Live," pointing the prop toward the crowd as he sang from a microphone attached to the rifle, video obtained by TMZ shows.
The sound of gunfire was simulated by the drummer pounding on his instrument.
The weapon was clearly not real, and the overall audience wasn't offended by the stunt, according to the town's local newspaper, The San Bernardino Sun. But some people did find the gimmick to be "lame," according to the newspaper's coverage.

Manson defended the shtick as an "act of theater" about how easy it is to access semi-automatic weapons in a statement to TMZ, and said he "felt sorry for anyone affected by real guns."
The gossip site also claimed that the Manson gave the San Bernardino Sheriff's Dept. notice of the stunt so that security at the venue would not be alarmed.
