Ok, well, as many of you know, bumpus loves a shotgun, for a while he has been demanding encouraging me to build one.
Thanks to Kiteman for kindly point outmany just a few mistakes in my write up.
Recently I came across the perfect tubes at work, hence, this project began - firstly, a little video.
The shotgun it self is a fairly normal shotgun, the shells are the special part, each shell is made up from three chambers or 'vials' Each shell contains three substances,
Now, on with the how to.

- A liquid Silver Nitrate Composite
- A white Metamorphic Acid Substrate
- And a viscous C4 explosive gel

Signing UpStep 1: The barrel and handle
Ok firstly, you have to make the base.
I held the two tubes together using some big pegs, I then ran PVA glue down the seem, once dry, this holds them together nicely - repeat for either side.
Using the template for the handle on my sniper, I modified it for a sawn off shotgun, I needed to make this one quite wide, so it had two layers of corrugated card, and two layers of dense gmjboard (thick velum mount board stuffs)
I then build up the top of the gun using more of the gmjboard.
Glue the layers together, let the whole lot dry.

that is blasphemy
and the fact that silver isn't for vampires, vampires get killed by removing their heads
COOL!
ps. how long was the barrel
Origin v2 then Winterstorm!
I love Winterstorm....
Came across this again recently, and your "shell" design is giving me some ideas...
Though one question... the song in your video you say it's by Machinae Supremacy... but what is the song title?
I have so many Projects In Progress (or PIPs as I call them)
Hopefully will have finished my Star Wars prop (a prototype version of a lightsaber, in the style of steampunk.) finished before the 25th! There is a local celebration of the 35th anniversary of the first movie, that I want to show off the prop at..
It originally was supposed to be done for May 4th (Int. Star Wars Day), but I goofed up on the month, I though it was next month!
One tiny bit of criticism though.
The vial shells are a great idea and really suit it, but i might be a good idea to
finish the ends of the shells so they look more round and solid, like it's really sealing it off for safety, or to have some sort of acryllic/glass tube/vial over the entire shell itself, making it solid.
Hugh pressure ANd high impact ANd high temperature
However putting electricity through C4 will not make it explode. Explosives like C4 are known as "secondary explosives" meaning they need a kick start to explode, for instance some farmers use ANFO(another secondary explosive) to remove stumps(etc.) if they don't have access to blasting caps they use a shot from a high powered rifle to the explosive this achieves the same thing as a blasting cap.
It introduces shock/energy into the explosive somewhat like a starter motor on a truck.
By the way some blasting caps are triggered by electricity.
