Hey man, if you want I've got plenty more pictures where that came from.

Haven't done much to it due to finals but here's a quick update. The underbar really gives it some character.

Thx man, I appreciate the offer, but I just started work on it today. I plan to use a dowel, and just glue sleeves to it. Thanks though.

Haha. No. I drilled a hole through a stack of 5 MDF discs that were glued together, put a bolt through them and attached to a drill. Very wobbly but sufficient enough for something that's only a few inches long. It will be impossible to make the support bar this way.

The only problem with that is that I haven't got a lathe. I've been thinking of using a different size dowel and just gluing them together. I just have to make sure the bonds between the pieces are strong enough.

Ok I've been very busy the last week so I've been a bit quiet and I haven't had the time to do anything to the gun this week. However. Here are the process pics I promised. :) This is the barrel with the vents cut out and the slot for the MF cell ready to be cut. Here it is slightly later...

Haha well I have based it off of yours. Thx for the decals. They would sure help a lot. Can I print them at home? And if so what paper do I use? I've got a inkjet.

That would be awesome! The main reason its taking me so long is that I'm so busy with college stuff I only spend about a day a week on it.

Yep, I got the idea off his blog. It took him about 3 days to do his. Mine is taking forever. Which is good seeing as it's the first practical thing I've ever done

re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! ** Hi everyone! I'm Matt and I'm from the UK, originally from Malta. I joined yesterday after having discovered the site last week, while searching for tips to build my Laser Rifle. Now I'm just hooked :)

Wow! That is some cool stuff! I myself am building a Laser Rifle! Here is how it looks like so far! And another one :) Tell me what you think :)

Ok here's the thing! Fallout 3 is very high on my favourite games list, and early last January I felt like I needed to do something (apart from the tons of college study that I have to do). So after a bit of researching I settled on the laser rifle. I thought it would be a relatively easy build...
