Repo! the genetic opera Zydrate Gun

Repo! the genetic opera Zydrate Gun
This instructable will demonstrate how to make a prop quality zydrate gun. Just like the one that the graverobber uses in the movie Repo! the genetic opera. I made this one as part of a halloween costume. Total time from start to finish should take about an hour. Well I'm ready if you are lets begin.



side note: I purposely took the first photo in the dark so that the glowing "zydrate" could be easily seen

Awesome prop for a Gravedigger costume. I'm going to try and make some Repo! belt buckles (I.E. Genco Logo etc.) and I will make this for Halloween.

This is so cool! Question though: wouldn't the glow of the Zydrate wear out after a while since it's from a glowstick? I'm making a Zydrate necklace for a friend of mine.
