The pistol itself is made from acrylic wine and champagne glasses, brass, hardwood, and bits from the bits box.
First rifle, the Thunderbuss, a sonic fowling piece:

Mainly Plastruct tube (a local model shop had a going out of business sale), built on a rook rifle stock, more brass, bits of plastic vase, and this one lights up, and is waiting for the guts of a Minion fart gun to be added.

Made from acrylic baubles, acrylic vase parts, acrylic sheet and an acrylic glass:

The stock has a faux Bakelite finish, or "Fakelite", as I like to call it.

This one is mainly stainless steel kitchenware, and came about because of a piece of 25mm MDF in the bin at work, which became the stock:
