My original "Space Gun" inspired by the classic prop making ethos

[CreechMagoo]

Over the past few months I've been making a series of space guns out of old junk I've been finding at surplus stores and yard sales. They're made entirely out of found objects, I didn't fabricate or 3D print any components. Everything is connected with a mechanical attachment (or tape). This is the first gun I made, Ill post photos of the others once I've finished them, and Im really happy with how it turned out. Please feel free to ask me what any given component is and Ill be sure to add more photos and closeups if asked.

(I realize these photos don't really do justice, ill be sure to take som better ones soon ad add them below)

Great stuff! My favourite type of building too! Is there a thread for this kind of building where we can add our latest creations? Like the Ray Gun thread? Not saying this doesnt deserve its own of course, just a miscellaneous build thread? Id like to post odd stuff!

My other smaller "Phaser." Definitely not done with this one, still looking for a better scope than a copper tube, but I went for a more Star Wars look on this one with the side mounted scope like Han's DL44. The body is an old soldering gun, the barrel is an XLR thing (not really sure), and the rest are all pneumatic fittings and other junk outta my greeblie drawer.

I made a thread here. For anyone just finding this thread, please head on over to the new one!
