Hand Grenade Movie Prop

Being in the independent movie field is a pretty tough job. The costs for everything, then time put forth to create a good product. In hobbies such as this, D.I.Y. projects can come very much in handy. Props online can be very expensive, so making them yourself is a life saver. Especially when your wallet is anorexic, or when more is going out than coming in. No Action movie is complete with out a gunfight scene, and all gun fights need some grenades to make it look even more awesome. While being on a small budget, I created the Hand Grenade Prop. Seeing how i forgot to take pictures, I had to borrow them from Indymogul.com. But the same idea is still there. And your wallet won't take so much of a blow. In fact, if you HAVE to buy every material needed to construct this, it would only amount to about $10.

I introduce to you...
The HAND GRENADE PROP!!!

Step 1: What You Will Need

Quick List:

Empty Deodorant Can

douffus

[ryanminty]

you spelt duffus wrong....

[mettaurlover]

Actually, it's not a real word according to spellcheck, though you both seem to have the concept down and are practicing it wonderfully.

[ryanminty]

lol its still funny tat hes insulting someone and he overthinks a word

[mettaurlover]

You do realize I just insulted both of you, right?

[JokerIsAwesome]

According to the New Oxford American Dictionary, doofus is actually a word:

doo•fus |ˈdoōfəs| (also du•fus)
noun ( pl. doofuses) informal
a stupid person.

ORIGIN 1960s: perhaps an alteration of goofus , or from Scots doof [dolt.]

Please, stop insulting people especially when you are wrong.

Good day.

P.S. I do not intend to insult you.

[mettaurlover]

And you, my good sir, do not seem to understand the concept of necroing a post.

[JokerIsAwesome]

I just intended to tell you that "doofus" is a word, my friend. Necroing is not in my to do list. I understand the concept of necroing. I apologize for seemingly not understanding the concept of necroing, that I made you worry about me not knowing about the concept of necroing. By the way, necroing is not a real word. :)

[mettaurlover]

A real word, no, but I always forget where the apostrophe goes.

[ryanminty]

yep i just have no feelings really lol

[JokerIsAwesome]

Excellent and very resourceful. Thank you so much for this.

[Eacon]

Very nice idea! Never noticed before how badass an Axe can looks! ;)
Made two up to now and added some grip elements made out of black sponge rubber. Goes along very nicely with my modded Nerf Guns - can't wait to test my new gear "in the field"! Good work =D

[bhetland1]

This has probably already been stated, but for anyone in the US, you can buy a dummy grenade (an actual grenade with the bottom hollowed out and no fuze/firing mechanism) for about $8.

Just thought some people might like to know that.

[mastermakoko]

[sk8r4life]

Wow this is a really cool idea but my question is what is a map pin?

[BillyTheGoat]

[DIY Dave]

[hedgehogboy5]

Hey so at least some of those pictures are from this tutorial by wraith 5 http://www.indymogul.com/post/10801/wesleys-weekly-presents-prop-grenade. Are you wraith 5 or did you use those pictures or what?

[Dingus_Shiggy]

NO NO NO!!! I am nowhere as cool and godlike as wraith5 is... Actually if you look in the beginning, i said I used pictures I found Online. I Just simply used his pictures to take his model (Slightly improved) and to bring the prop hand grenade model and instructions to instructables.
