This is a simple prop for kids, sci fi conventions, scaring neighbors, concerts, whatever.
My raygun is based on the one from Mychem's "NaNaNa" video, but can be based on any other
weapon as long you can draw the design, and even though it is only cardboard the finished product is surprisingly sturdy. 

note: I have no knowledge of guns, so sorry if I call things by wrong names!
  
Special goes thanks to cathystutorials, since I based this design on her Desert Eagle tutorial video.


You will need:

A Pattern drawn on cardstock.
 
Cardboard
 
Thin strips of paper or newspaper

A PenKnife and replacement blades

Acrylic paint in; black and white + red and yellow or any color you want the finished gun to be

Step 1: Draw out your pattern

ray_0001.tif
Draw and number your patterns 1. full gun with trigger, 2. full gun with loop( no trigger), 3. top and handle with decorative groove  without loop or trigger.

Trace each pattern onto cardboard twice, then cut out each piece with the penknife.

You should now have:
2 trigger pieces
2 loop no trigger
2 top of gun and handle
