Planning on doing a Robocop suit for Halloween, and wanted to start off with a quick Auto-9. There were a ton online, but all in the US, and none of the companies would ship em to Canada.
The solution?
Grab the crappiest dollar store gun for $1.50, use the leftover styrene bits from my pulse rifle build and hot glue my own auto-9 together. Didn't put the love and into this one that I put into the nerf pulse rifle, but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out for a quick afternoon build. Still need to paint it, but the modelling is done.
Starting point. The orange tip for the barrel is from a Sharpie lid I hacksawed up. One section of lid didn't have thick enough walls, so I just sawed off a bit near the tip of the lid and nested it inside the larger piece to give it some thickness. The rest of the Sharpie was used for the visible bits of the barrel inside the gun.
Whole gun together. The orignal toy also had a different grip, so I cut that off and gave it a flatter grip like the actual prop.
Next to the actual prop. Not ideal, but a passable version for a halloween build.
Grand total: $1.50 plus scraps.

it turned out better than I thought, considering the starting point. Should look half decent once it's all painted up.
