If its mine, and this is opinion only, (you may hear a lot of them from others) change the front part of the barrel there, go get some PVC pip fittings at a hardware store.  add knobs or small keypad take off the top rail, close the mag well, or put a short mag type block in it.  But do what you want and let the app team tell you what works.

I was actually thinking about cutting out the mag well in general. I think that it might look weird, though. Do you think I should extend the barrel with PVC?

I would extend the barrel, is that tape wrapped around it? Maybe add a scope, seems that is a Swarzy thing to do for most blasters, since the rail is already there.

I decided to scrap the above project. I wont be able to make it look like much other then a cut-up AR.
I stopped by the White Elephant today, and got this for $2!










Not sure if I can make it look swarsy, but I could not pass it up for that price. Mod suggestions?
I bought another gun that I am working on right now. Gonna make it something of a carbine.

Nice, I have that. Had to go all the way to Florida Disney to get it. At the Frontier land gift shop. I painted it black and used it for a Mad Max shotgun. I would keep going with the modification; they take time and it would look good.

What should be done to make it approvable, mate? Any idea?

For the first blaster add the scope and extended barrel to start with. For the second gun:

I will do that for the first. NO idea how I could do that for the second, though.

Without a doubt new barrel and scope. Big Swarzyness (is that a word) there. Perhaps a "heat sink" on the front of the magazine chamber as well. Fill in or sand down the "diamond" grip pattern and maybe cut the rail back a bit.

Yes Swarzyness is a word I have seen used around here often. Meaning Swarz: Star Wars + Y to add description, lol. Not earthy or nerfy.

The scope is drying and the barrel is next. What is "Heat Sink"?

The heat-dissipation grille that is on the front of the magazine box on Han's blaster or on the side rails of the Imperial Merr-Sonn sidearm blasters. Not all blasters have them, but they dd a good effect relatively easily.

Some new gear



Pistol/Rocket launcher. Will it pass?

Would these work as crush gaunts?

How would I go about making a giant cardboard tube into a rocket launcher?

That rifle looks good in terms of general design, but it's very much in need of a good sanding in spots to smooth it out.  Keep working at it.

I made something of a cat-o-nine tails. What do you think of this as a non-lethal weapon?
