Cyber/Steampunk Futuresque Sci-Fi Hand Gun

Step 5Creating the Ammo/Liquid Pod

Creating the Ammo/Liquid Pod
Ok, so the whole idea of the gun opening up is cool, but it needs like and ammo shot.

Picture 1
- I took a small slither of dense cardboard, i then glued a couple of sections of metal (out of a floppy drive)

Picture 2
- I then took a small glass tube, this is one that medication come in, so an old ball point pen, or something could easily do the same job
- i sealed the small end using PVA, then a layer of superglue to make sure.

Picture 3
- Mix food colouring with water, until you get a colour that you like, i went for orange, so used yellow and red.

Picture 4
- Seal the other end of the tube with something, i used a rubber bung that came out the tube in the first place.

Picture 5
- Either glue the tube straight onto the slither, or use a couple of metal sections to act as clips
- The clips i used came from an old universal plug adapter.

Picture 6
- I then rigged up magnetic rail, this was made by fitting magnets to the underneath of the card slither.
- then glue some magnetic metal to the gun, i used a couple of 2 pence pieces.
