That is what happens when you build as you go instead of planning it all ahead of time.

Is it one of those toys that pulling the trigger whizzes up an abrasive wheel inside which drives against a lighter flint and produces showers of sparks out the end? |

New Gun...not as steamy I When I started it...I guess this is more cyberpunk.   I really like this one! It has a real 'Blade Runner Blaster' aesthetic about it, great use of found parts there. Well done. |

Thanks...Just for the curious the parts that i can identify from my junk box are : An old starter pistol, the handle for a box cutter, a cabinet hinge, many bits and pieces from an old sewing machine and a couple of bits from on old hard drive Well done. |

"Box cutter" - would that be what we call a 'Stanley' knife?

Yeah.. the ones with a metal frame either have one of those slide-out blades, or the fixed blade, where you have to undo a screw to turn the blade around, or replace it with a new one.. they're not terribly expensive, either.. |

Thank you! That's what it looked like and I agree it does make for a very effective hand grip - just never heard the name before. |

Number Two Son just got involved. I'm going to have to do the cam design for him, but the lad's made a promising start on the calculations for a steamed-up chaingun with working nerf-shooting capability. Does anyone have a resource for the specs (mass, calibre etc.) for those whistling nerf darts? We're working on approximations at the moment.
14.8mm -> (]==== <- 12.6mm Overall length: 71.9mm ^ ^ 13.3mm 58.6mm Hope this helps. I took these measurements myself with a vernier calliper, unfortunately however I do not have anything suitable for measuring the dart's mass and was unable to find a value on the aetherwebs. Good luck to you with this project and may you find much enjoyment in it, it sounds like a good one. Great work from everyone else too, I fear that it could take some days of conversing to give everything on this thread the credit and attention it is due and that I shall not truly be able to do so here. Splendid and inspirational stuff all. Q |

Why resist? Paint it up, then wear it with an Insane Clown Posse outfit. Do it. The voices want you to indulge. |

MORE BRASS MORE BRASS MORE BRASS (BTW - wasn't PT Barnum featured in a recent Rankin novel? I bet this would have been his personal side arm, the man [as portrayed by Rankin] would have been vain enough to have his name embossed on his weapon). |

Great work lads!!! Here's my latest creation/modification... I bought a little yellow petron toy crossbow a while back and have finally got around to finishing it - OK so technically it's not a gun - but it's close...     and here's the original...  basically I ditched the stock in place of a wooden pistol grip, added timber inserts to the foregrip then painted, stained and decorated - It still needs a few coats of clear but I'm happy with the victorian look it's taken on. |
