Transform a damaged heat gun into a light gun!

Transform a damaged heat gun into a light gun!
My good old heat gun. Together, we melt and bend plastics. Together, we made a Cyborg costume. We laugh, we cryed. I used it for impress a beautiful lady when I taught her how to use tools.

But one day, I pushed it too hard. Smoke and a burning smell come out from my heat gun. And It stop working. Forever.

So, as final homage to my good friend, I turn it in a weapon prop with light and sound. Enjoy!

MI HEAT GUN IS DEAD. LONG LIFE TO MY HEAT GUN!!!
