Well, after driving myself crazy, for over month trying to find the spare time, and the supplies I needed, I finally finished my Retro Steampunk ray gun.
A big thanks to all the RPF member who helped me out with tips and suggestions....And a big thanks to DropshipBob, who volunteered and supplied me with the grip for the ray gun (Had it not been for him, I'd probably still be driving around town trying to find the right wood, and I'd probably still be trying to cut it with my primative tools.
Now, on to the raygun -
This is the ZX-1933 Cosmic Viper Atomic Obliterator-
The gun is equipped with an internal centrefuge and reactor which produces a concetrated conical beam capable obliterating almost any object.
The weapon comes with an interchangable, side mounted lead containment unit which transfers the Uraniam 238 to the internal reactor through a lead lined copper walled coil.
The reaction process creates an incredible amount of heat, so a cooling unit is need. The cooling tube is located at the top rear of the gun. The special cooling liquid (Classified) is injected into the reactor through a suction created by the atomic reaction.
The beam from the gun remains a constant as long as the user keeps the trigger pulled. However, a constant beam for a prolonged period of time will cuase the internal hardware to overheat, thus resulting in a meltdown and possible explosion (which in turn would destroy 3 square miles , along with the user.). A temperature guage has been added to the top of the raygun to keep the user informed of the internal temperature.
During the special reaction process, a certain amount of oxygen is needed, which may vary, depending on the planet you are on.
An antenna has been added to the raygun to regulate the amount of oxygen which can be extracted from the atmosphere. The antenna emits electrical waves which indicate the amount of oxygen on your current planet. If no oxygen is available, the raygun computer will make calculations for a substitute gas.
Since the body of the raygun is basically a vaccum tube, oxygen must be obtained though a valve based suction port found on the side of the gun.
Just behind the suction valve is the recharge port plug. After using your raygun for a period of 74 hours, the internal battery will need to be recharged by plugging your recharge port to a power unit.
Regulating the amount of power emitted by the gun can be customized by turning the knurled knob on the side of the gun. There are three settings -
1- Stun
2- Kill
3- Obliterate (Stand at least 50 yards away from target when using this setting.)
BTW, I made all of this crap up on the spot, so try not to be too niutpicky about the details :lol

Thanks again everyone....
