I am a little confused about the control setup. Is it specifically for holding your wrist at an angle that makes the parts work? I am trying to think of how to make that more practical.

While Patrick Priebe may not yet have figured out the secret of using repulsor rays to fly, he has put together a pretty nice Iron Man Laser Gauntlet. It's but one of many wrist and hand lasers he will custom-build for the right price. And while it may not defeat any evil Asian stereotype villains headed your way, it can pop a mean balloon from a short distance...
(skip to the 2:30 mark for balloon-bustin' action)
If you're more into War Machine than Iron Man, though, check this out:
That one, he will not build for you, because he's not stupid and doesn't want to be sued the first time you try to be cool and light a cigarette with it. I'll bet it scares the pants off of potential burglars, though.
