Vampiric Cyberpunk Double Barrel Shotgun

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 out many 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,

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

One shot from this baby, and even the most elder Vampire will fall

Now, on with the how to.

Step 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.

MACHINAE SUPREMACY!!! :D
Origin v2 then Winterstorm!
I love Winterstorm....

[sonofstone]

do you work with wood sometimes? i'm building a sawn-off double barrel hunting rifle, stock is already been built, barrels welded together, all i need is a hinge, could you help me out on this part?

[electfire]

@gmjhowe
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?

[gmjhowe]

Thanks! Do share if you create anything. The title is 'Winterstorm'

[electfire]

Thanks for the track info!
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!

[gmjhowe]

That sounds awesome. I look forward to seeing it.

[faustoyacob]

GREAT SHOTGUN!!

[brupielink]

That's one hell of a shotgun! Gonna try it myself if i have the materials.
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.

[Iwantbigboom]

c4 is pressure sensitive

[Orkekum]

no it's not.

Hugh pressure ANd high impact ANd high temperature

[Iwantbigboom]

it depends on what its made of and what form its in

[monkeys98]

awesome, simply awesome

[Sabinbp]

those shells look very familiar i saw them in a final fantasy movie or episode of somekind

[LilBangarang]

OMG ppl. u crack me up. He's just making it sound cool. It doesn't matter on the realism. No... silver doesn't kill vampires which aren't real in the first place. This is an amazing instructable. Thank you so much man. This officially inspired me. YOU ROCK.

[mastiffman]

Very well done; thanks

[sonofstone]

why c4, why not nitroglycerine?

[DustySeven7]

Two things. First C4 is what is known as a plastic explosive. It is extremely stable due to the explosive substance being mixed with the plastic. Fire, heat, and electricity will not cause C4 to explode. It takes a special charge of small explosive inserted into it. This causes a reaction in the C4 that make it explode. That is why you see soldiers insert the little metal tube into it. And Second Silver will not kill a vampire, it will only harm them. The only way to kill a vampire with silver would be to have a silver stake go through the heart.

[eulaliaaaa!]

Not to be too technical or anything, but C4 needs electricity to blow up. Just saying. Nice Instructable, by the way.

[Soul Crusher X]

No, it does not require electricity.

[eulaliaaaa!]

Yes, it does. It says in some army field manuals that you can burn c4 and get a strong plastic.

[bendog38]

I'll second that.

[Soul Crusher X]

Sadly, you are both wrong. There are no stabilized, man-portable, explosives that require electricity to detonate. I could go into detail, but this is not the venue for that.

[eulaliaaaa!]

So how else would you detonate it? Fire? If so, all it would do is just burn like fuel and turn into plastic.

[Mattrox]

Like you say C4 will not explode if on fire(in the second world war some burnt it a safe cooking material).

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.

Cheers, Mattrox

[Hephestus]

Could use just a coin cell battery in one end with two metal prongs on the other, when they hit the body, the blood of your target is the conductor setting on the explosive charge :)

[eulaliaaaa!]

True... Salty fluid is a very good conductor.

[The nerdling]

bit of resistance though

[Hephestus]

Started making my own version of your shotgun, im making it out of Mdf and copper piping, gives it a bit for weight to it, Great design though

[DannytheGreat]

I know it is just supposed to give a story to it but shouldn't one of the vials have holy water?

[Javin007]

I would think holy water, liquified garlic, and silver. (Just to cover all the bases.)

[DannytheGreat]

Im catholic so holy water, silver (in case of surprise werewolves), and the c4 was a good idea

[jr.tuckluck13]

Go Hellboy on them. Holy Water, garlic, silver nitrate, etc.

[badideasrus]

i prefer blade's method. 3 inch silver stakes 12 ga rouphly = 50 cal, so supa bullet. we're talkin like 4-6 inch shells here.

[jr.tuckluck13]

haha this is true

[rug]

isnt the only thing that kills them are wooden stakes?

[-Chrimson_And_Clockwork-]

actually that's just a misconception by holly wood
the wooden stake through the torso is to hold them down while you decapitate them and burn the corpse.
i still prefer the old ways of burying them upside down so they dig their way to hell tho :]

[jr.tuckluck13]

not at all. watch the blade series. silver, uv light, stakes, beheading or dismemberment

[rug]

sorry yer i wasnt thinking straight ummm.... uv light works so does stakes and beheading but i've never heard of silver before

[weasel999]

 i believe "metal foil duck tape" is calledmetal repair tape

[DELETED_kage_no_akiri]

[weasel999]

idk i used it to seat the spaces in the ducks and it worked wel!!

[DELETED_kage_no_akiri]

[weasel999]

sorry ducTs like for air

[DELETED_kage_no_akiri]

(removed by author or community request)

[weasel999]

are u kidding u made my day

[sonofstone]

indeed, why not make it a spring powered gun, you could take a nerf gun and replace the internals, but the materials you used for this creation is a little to soft i'd think

[CyborgKnight]

 could you try to make one that shoots?

[halberdear]

Why not? Personally I'd go for something either spring or air powered.

[I Ride Kangaroos]

Yeah good idea!

[starfox384]

I like the music in the video

[TheMadScientist]

didnt even have my headphones on (they were on the ground) and I recognised it. he pieced together two or three songs by machinae supremacy.

[SRT4ever]

 What's the point of making a fake gun??? No offense, I'm just curious 

[co2wms7whcc]

There are some of us who consider making collectibles an art.

[musicalbee2003]

Costuming. Notice the "Cyberpunk" moniker? Means he going for a character piece.

[gmjhowe]

Actually, I make to sell. This was sold to a person looking to complete their costume.

[blueberrypieisgood]

where do you find tubes like that? I would think christmas wrapping paper but those look too thin...

[WhiteTigerTails]

Try going to a UPS store, and find tubes that work~

[gmjhowe]

They come off industrial laminating rolls. Im not sure where you would get them from.

[tanis9319]

would pvc tubes work

[red-king]

 if you got them in the right size(use your own judgement for this). yes.

[KeannaRoar]

Consider Fiberglass instead, It'll have less weight.

[jibbers75]

if it has more weight it will feel more realistic

[badideasrus]

u can get fiberglass tubes? for how much? pvc would be infinitely cheaper

[KeannaRoar]

Lowes and Home Depo sell them. They are a little pricer, but you don't have the immense weight of the PVC weighing you down.

[swilus]

Immense weight of PVC lol never thought I would hear that sentence

[Tmac121]

What were all of your base materials?

[BeanGolem]

And to whom did all of your base_materials belong?

[M4industries]

All his base were belong to me.  No one else!

[naruto the ninja13]

no all his bases are belong to us

[TyMan210]

I think I'll just stick with my .357 Magnum. Maybe a couple of grenades, too.

[datalot]

amazing *DROOL*

[Maxaxle]

Great shotgun, but I recommend adding some sort of lever to break down the barrel, like in a real double-barrel.

[ILIKEPIE333]

Most break-action shotguns do not use a lever to operate. You are probably thinking of a lever-action which obviously uses a lever.

[M4industries]

Model 1887 from COD MW2. The best shotgun in the game.

[stoobers]

???
Most american over-under and side-by-side double barrel shotguns have a lever on top that is thrown left or right to open the action.

Single barrels often have what looks like a second hammer.

[ILIKEPIE333]

Yeah, I know what youre talking about, but I was referencing an actual lever as on the Winchester, although thats probably not what he was taling about.

[BlackIceRedbone]

could you make one that cocks

[jr.tuckluck13]

I have one that cocks...

[BlackIceRedbone]

 How did you do it?

[jr.tuckluck13]

Used a cheap airsoft shot gun. Modified it. If i can find it, i'll post pics

[TheGhostOfOnyx]

Also, I think a pump action shotgun would be cool for a future project.

[TheGhostOfOnyx]

This is just a suggestion for a way to stop the vials from sliding out, and i think it would look authentic too. Basically it would just be a stretchy rubber material about an inch into the barrels so that when the vials are pushed in, it can't keep going, and when you break the barrel to get them out, they would be pushed out a little already. If I make this, I will experiment and tell you what I find.

[valkiraun]

 Talented work. I think i might try my hand at something similar...

[tanis9319]

i have a way to get those vials but they have printing on the sides what do i do?

[Derin]

get something like acetone and try to see if it damages the vial while taking the paint off (use an extra vial)

[PastTheVoid]

 Also a great solution for those pesky gnomes that keep messing up my vegetable garden.

[adamc90]

this looks awesome ive always been a sucker for shotguns, to me their just amazing, i was wondering where do i find thisliquid silver nitrate i found the metamorphic acid but not the nitrate XD hunt some vamps xD

[wolfboy616]

 freaking awesome man!!! :D

[MichelMoermans]

Congratulations with your third prize in the decoration department. I'm glad to see my vote did matter :)

Great instructable by the way. When my current projects are finished I'm gonna try to make a shotgun myself (a little different though since I don't really like to copy someones work, more of a putting my own twist to it kinda guy)

Plz excuse me for me bad English :)

[daltonjcw]

 where else can you get those tubes?

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

I get some thinner ones from cling film, bako/kitchen foil and some sweets & glowsticks.

[gmjhowe]

 Mine were off a laminator, so you need to find something that uses up rolls of something.

[daltonjcw]

very, very good job! the shells/tubes/ whatever.... are awesome!

[00Donut]

As seen in picture four, what model of gun did you use as a basis for your trigger/stock?

[aussie_in_mo]

For what it's worth you should look into "boning" as a process for hand forming leather to the shape of your stock/grips. Boning involves soaking the leather under water and then pressing it around the item you want to shape it to. It's used to create custom fit handgun holsters or knife sheaths. If you use fairly thin leather then you can get a lot of the detail contours from the stock to come through the leather also.

[3xpl0dingR4pt0r]

KINDER EGGS!! Or atleast thats what i think those small orange and yellow containers are. In some pics on the last step. Unless im really dumb. Loved those tho. Good job on the gun too lol.

[gmjhowe]

Yes, your correct! I buy kinder eggs for my Fiancé when she is feeling low. Thanks for the comment.

[tanis9319]

what are kinder eggs?

[3xpl0dingR4pt0r]

They are basically a chocolate eggshell and inside is like a little toy that you put together. Theyre prettty neat.

[3xpl0dingR4pt0r]

Where! I want to buy some. Those are the best!

[rob.thieman]

That is a fantastic creation! I've been considering options for Halloween and I think I've settled on a vampire hunter theme. Thanks for the inspiration.

[gmjhowe]

Your more than welcome! I hope your costume idea goes well! Thanks for the comment.

[tanis9319]

question how did you keep the shells from slideing out of the barrels and any way you should make belt shell holder that would be awsom

[Jehosephat]

I have been a modder & a weapons builder for a while, and I can say that this is by far the most professional-looking prop I have seen to date.
The most creative part, in my opinion, is the shells.
I never would have guessed to use medical vials, so I tip my hat off to you.
(Very surprised that you were not contacted when Van Helsing was being made)
Also, I need some information on how to properly make a revolver sort of like the Samaritan as boogyheadabc mentioned, but more in a Trigun-style without the weird muzzle.
I would appreciate if you could give a tutorial using the same materials and style as the shotgun you constructed.
Thank you,
Jehosephat

[gmjhowe]

Hi, thanks for your kind words, I do have plans for a revolver at some point, very much in a heavy weight magnum/trigun style. But alas as always, time is an issue, I already work with a massive back log of projects! I more than happy to talk through your ideas.

[Jehosephat]

Also, I have posted a question stating to make a steampunk outfit/weapons, regarding my new project: (ominous music)
>>Steampunk Vampire Hunter<<
Any ideas?
Thank you kindly,
Jehosephat

[trogdoroth]

Maybe make this shotgun but paint it to look like brass. lol

[Jehosephat]

Thank you for the update gmjhowe. I know exactly what you mean by planning issues (i have a couple of them on my own T.T) I mainly have used wood and I've wanted to start fresh &expand my horizons. Thing is I don't exactly know how to properly work with cardboard or your "gmjboard" as you have christiened it (not a lot of experience with the material exactly T.T) On an ending note, I have to say I simply love your projects. Goodluck & Godspeed, Jehosephat

[DJVMAN]

how did you do all of the details

[DJVMAN]

where did you get your materials

[gmjhowe]

All my materials are left over packaging from the print works that i work at.

[DJVMAN]

where can i get the barrel

[D0cR0ck]

What is the length of each tube? I can't seem to find that in the Instructable.

[gmjhowe]

About 350mm ish, but use what ever length suits the style your looking for.

[D0cR0ck]

Thank you.

[mr. cool 384]

mine is so cool thanks it took a while but is great i covered a glue stick in red duck tape and painted the end gold ang it looks like a real shell

[Ward_Nox]

gave me ideas to refine the para venom i "invented" never thought to add an acid shouldn't the shells have a space for propelliant? or is the shot gun something like a Gause gun or air riffle?

[bobby4505]

where could i get gmjboard?

[bobby4505]

THIS ONE

[bobby4505]

would it be possible to buy 6 of the little ammo tubes off you? i need to know if three would fit in a barrel that is a millimeter shy of an inch

[bobby4505]

i mean this other one =P

[bobby4505]

the other one

[bobby4505]

could you make hinges out of wood???

[gmjhowe]

A strong bit of wood would work, but ideally you need metal.

[bobby4505]

could you give me any ideas? i am using black duct tape right now, and i need an idea for a grip on the handle,preferably something that paint will stick to

[gmjhowe]

I suggest a layer of paper mache. Thinner paper will give a smoother look.

[bobby4505]

should i keep it black?

[gmjhowe]

yeah, paint it black, or a gun metal grey.

[bobby4505]

and should i do a layer of paper mache on whole gun? this is what it currently looks like

[bobby4505]

lol you can see your instructable comments on my computer rofl

[bobby4505]

also would you mind if i entered mine in cardsborad contest if i give you most credit?

[gmjhowe]

Sure, I am hoping to enter it myself!

[bobby4505]

i should be done tomorrow's,ill give you pics of finished product

[bobby4505]

a glossy black or like your first coating of black on your shotgun?

[gmjhowe]

which ever you fancy! its your project!

[bobby4505]

I will hopefully be working on two projects... 1 something like the hellboy revolver and 2 something like your shot gun but smaller. I will post pics if i complete

[gmjhowe]

Cool, i look forward to pictures!

[blueberrypieisgood]

Where do you find brackets like that? I have 1 but the screw holes are like nearly 2 inches apart. Is there any way i could possibly work with that?

[gmjhowe]

Yeah, work your design around what you have!

[SpiroExDeus]

There's a use for used up injenction pen cartridges?! NICE! To think I've been throwing them all away.

[1300519]

1. You're amazing. 2. I might just love you for that V for Vendetta poster in the background.

[laxman735]

nice computer

[gmjhowe]

Thanks.

[laxman735]

your welcome

[The Jamalam]

Jesus christ, this is amazing! How do you come up with this kind of thing?

[gmjhowe]

Thanks! It is normally a mix of whats in my head, and a collective build up of past inspirations.

[Wesley1]

Try adding Garlic extract instead of a white Metamorphic Acid Substrate. Like in Blade:)

[naruto the ninja13]

how exactly would this fire ive always wondered sence there is oviously no powder holder or primer on the rounds im geussing its either pnumatic or electromagnetic

[Aztof]

it's a prop, it doesn't fire

[naruto the ninja13]

(removed by author or community request)

[Aztof]

By best guess is that it would be electrothermal

[naruto the ninja13]

also what detonates the c4?

[inumaru]

naruto the ninja13: the most straightforward answer would be impact of the target

[SirBrittanicvs]

How this isn't featured is beyond me. Fantastic work. It'd be cool to see a costume to go along with it. :)

[gmjhowe]

It is featured! But thanks for the kind words!

[volquete]

i gotta make one! added to my summer "make" list

[gmjhowe]

Be sure to hit me with some pictures if you do!

[volquete]

will do, thx for the ible!

[benwal]

what is the barrel size (inches or millimeters)

[gmjhowe]

20mm

[boogyheadabc]

So it is made of card board?----all you need is a pistol like the Semaritin (Hell Boys pistol) and a sword like blade... a cool outfit and then you've got an action hero!

[gmjhowe]

I have a handgun and sword already!

[boogyheadabc]

But you don't have a cool outfit like this guy!

http://www.christian-gaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/fable2_masterchief.jpg

[corey_caffeine]

hal's armour from fable 2 nice

[gmjhowe]

It would seem are ideas of what 'cool' is, are mis aligned. I do have a mask in the works.

[boogyheadabc]

.....

[boogyheadabc]

can't just say thanks for the ideas?

[benwal]

yeah i might if i get some hinges and some wood and leather

[benwal]

what sought of things do you add to the shotgun like all the 'extras'

[benwal]

hey every night i go on the computer just to have a look at this gun it is so cool

[benwal]

hey i was thinking if i was going to make one i was going to use pvc but what size? also im only 12 but ive got every thing exept hinges i dont no what type of hinges or if a can just use a long piece of metal hey also i was going to make a wooden stained box for it and a wood hanle plz reply i wod love to hear from the master!

[Z123]

You should totally make more Steampunk/Cyberpunk guns... They are awesome! I'm working on a gun myself

[mariome101]

Just thought of something! making this with three barrels that would spin to shoot each shot

[gmjhowe]

Yes, that would be a great idea, i decided against three barrels at an early stage.

[A.C.E.]

wow this is beautiful in that vamperic steampunk sort of way. looks like van helsing or ghost rider kind of thing. definately doing this. do you think if i did this with a real shotgun it would still fire? 5 star : )

[A.C.E.]

oh and when i first saw the tiny crescant hole marks on the front part of leather, the first thing i thought of was bite marks, like you used it as a shield or something.

[gmjhowe]

haha! bite marks, i like that. Im sure you could paint a normal shot gun to look this way, but im not a fan of real guns, too many accidents to make it worth owning one.

[___]

Nice face

[mariome101]

if you were talking to me thanks I designed it myself

[mariome101]

As a substitute could i use pvc pipe

[gmjhowe]

Sure

[Hephestus]

hey GMJ if you were to make another snotgun how much would you sell it for and would we be able to buy it for our movie? MIKEY

[gmjhowe]

You can commission me to make one, starting price of £100.

[Mr. Lemon]

if u are willing to sell ill buy 1 and how much do the shells cost to make

[gmjhowe]

This current model has been sold, so I can make one anew for you. Which also means that it can be customized to your liking. One set of shells would be included in the price.

[Mr. Lemon]

ok. first i would want the 2 barrels lie ing flat instead of on top of each other second do the bullets actually work

[gmjhowe]

I refuse to maintain conversation further with someone unable to make a difference as to whether the gun fires or not.

[Hephestus]

i have no clue where to get vials :( lol any ideas where i can none of my family are on medication that use vials

[gmjhowe]

Small mouth spray things? Try looking at cheap makeup etc.

[boogyheadabc]

what?

[Hephestus]

hey man another amazing project do you mind if me and my mates use your weapons in a film were making will give you credit for them

[gmjhowe]

Sure, as long as you give full credit to myself, thats fine. Also, any advice you want etc, be sure to ask. I can be your offsite props coordinator.

[lilskaterkid911]

yeah its pretty awsome i think im going to make one and make a movie you should really make hand guns and stuff to and show us how that would be awsome

[gmjhowe]

I have made handguns, and rifles.

[DELETED_phlynx]

(removed by author or community request)

[gmjhowe]

It doesn't shoot, and it is one of my easiest builds.

[JohnMichael]

I think your "shells" in this instructable were very creative. Thanks for sharing.

[gmjhowe]

Thanks! And your welcome.

[Goolie]

Maaan thats so coool. But I saw that double-barrel shotguns usually have 2 triggers, one for each barrel. But overall your shot gun (and especially shells) is great!

[idogis1]

An over-under shotgun like this usually only has one trigger, side-by-side shotguns have two.

[gmjhowe]

Well, i could make something up, but i just couldnt be bother putting in two triggers!

[Flash Gordon]

Something I noticed was that most double barrels with side by side barrels have two triggers one for each of the two hammers. But since thats an overunder i dont think it would have two triggers. It could but it doesnt need to. I need to do more research on double barrels... Awesome though fav'd and 5'd

[gmjhowe]

Good point! Thanks for the comment.

[Flash Gordon]

Thanks. Your welcome.

[Kush_Slayer]

wow, ok btw, that would be more of a double barrel rifle if it worked, a shotgun shoots shot which is a crap load of bbs(anywhere between 200 or more really small ones or 9 large ones about 1/4 inch in diameter) looks kinda cool though

[fuzvulf]

A double barrel rifle has riflings cut or machined into the inside of the barrel, hence rifle. A shot gun can shoot "a crap load of bbs" as well as slugs, rifled slugs, bolo rounds, shock transfer rounds for crowd control, dragon's breath, darts, rock salt/bacon grease*(yes it actually was used though I don't recommend it) secondary propellant based armour piercing rockets, glass ampules, sand and the list goes on.

[gmjhowe]

Well, the vials shatter, sending out a mix of the materials, as a 'shot' Think blobs of liquids opposed to lead pellets.

[ItalianDragn]

Shotguns also shoot slugs. which is what this would qualify as.

[Kush_Slayer]

true, forgot about that

[jayeng123]

what is a gmjboard ?

[gmjhowe]

Its a thick vellum board. Kind of like straw board, but thicker.

[leaper21]

Awsome idea gonna give it a go myself

[gmjhowe]

Coo, be sure to share some pictures if you do!

[BrandonLee]

how do u keep the vials from sliding outta the barrel when its pointed down? and btw i love this gun came out really great

[gmjhowe]

I put a couple of screws into the tube as 'blockers'.

[deathshells]

ive posted before but i have recently noticed that at step 3 there werent pointy bits near the metal connectors but on step 4 there were, have you just added cardboard sprayed and painted the same way as the rest of the gun or am i missing something here!?! hope you can help thanks! (i have added images of what i mean)

[gmjhowe]

They are just sections of card i added on to make the brackets fit into with the design. Painted to fit in!

[deathshells]

thanks for clearing that up! ONE STEP CLOSER TO MAKING IT! oh and also what type of tubes for the barrels are they and where might i get some? fabiric shop spare tubes?

[gmjhowe]

Mine originally had laminting plastic sheet on them. Industrial shrink wrap has similair tubes, as does rolls of food bags. Fabric shop, and such are good places to look also. Feel free to ask me as many questions as you need.

[deathshells]

cool, thanks again! ill post any more questions if they arise!

[keastes]

now just to figure out how to add an ax blade to the thing or a bayonet

[gmjhowe]

I very nearly added an extruding metal spike.

[keastes]

that works

[captaincoolness55]

pretty cool man! :D

[gmjhowe]

Thanks!

[UberNoober]

YES. Machinae Supremacy for the win! :D

[gmjhowe]

MaSu FTW!

[UberNoober]

I'd also like to point out that this is a pretty sweet 'ible. As are all of yours! I think I'd really like to make one of these if I can ever find the time.

[gmjhowe]

"Don't find the time, Make the time." - gmjhowe 16/3/2009

[cowscankill]

I added that on my "you" page xD

[gmjhowe]

Sweet, i should add it to mine.

[Madrias357]

Just a good thing for me it won't kill Werewolves.

[gmjhowe]

It will kill most things. The silver and acid seem to make a difference.

[billybobo3]

You'd think the silver would make it more effective against werewolves...or am I stereotyping ? Anyway, that is an awesome prop. Thanks for the Instructable

[Madrias357]

Only against betas. Alphas are resistant. I know a bit of wolven lore, as far as that goes...

[gmjhowe]

Thanks for the comment! Im glad you like it.

[deathshells]

im hoping im not too late, i noticed that someone asked if youd sell it and im wondering is it still up for offer?

[gmjhowe]

Unfortunatly this one has been sold. My other ones are for sale feel free to ask a price on any of them. Or you can commision me for one. Or I can sort out supplying some materials.

[deathshells]

damn it! oh well this still looks awesome ill just make one myself! great instructable!

[rhino132456]

does it shoot for real?

[gmjhowe]

Please read the instructable.

[HOMEPIE64]

is the correct word "vampiric" or "vampyrical"????

[naruto the ninja13]

the correct term for an object of vampire origin is vampiric

[gmjhowe]

who knows.. Its not like they exist really.

[moonball33]

Only as far as you know.

[corey11]

Dude this thing looks wicked cool!!

[gmjhowe]

Thanks!

[gmjhowe]

I've got a pop rivet gun that could manage that! This item is waiting to be posted to its buyer. So no more mods.

[-JESUS-]

Wow! that's pretty cool. I would make it as a prop if it wasn't counted as a real gun in Australia, i would also use metal and wood. good work though!

[gmjhowe]

Im in the uk. It is technically illegal here also. But, with it being a prop, and not a replica, its a bit of a loop hole. If they raid my house though, ima have alot splainin to do.

[firebird11692]

Dude, you made an over-under double barrel shotgun. For killing vampires. That's AWESOME.

[gmjhowe]

Thanks! Thats a pretty awesome comment to get.

[flipit119_aaa]

although pretty cool if your a 10 year old

[kerns]

Nice explanations and cool project. I think your unadorned bolt/screw heads detract though... too mundane! Could you wipe over a bit of putty and touch on some more paint to hide their true nature?

[gmjhowe]

maybe a dap of epoxy resin and a bit of touch up with a sharpy and silver paint? thanks for the comment!

[amakerguy]

To make this instructable you NEED to LOOK at the pictures VERY CLOSELY. you do not describe how you keep the barrel from folding farther then it needs to, and how it stays closed and not open up all the time, and where to get a template for the handle (not everone has a sniper). :-o

[gmjhowe]

I've amended the hinge step with further description relating to the pictures. Regarding the sniper, I've added a link to my sniper rifle ible, so people can figure it out. Originally, for the shape, i just got a couple of web pictures up on screen, then sketched it by hand.

[amakerguy]

That better, not great but good enough for people to understand it better.

[gmjhowe]

Indeed, but as with alot of my ibles, its not a specific follow exactly guide, things differ alot on the items used. Most people will manage fine with their own commons sense.

[amakerguy]

Thats true. I'm working on finding the parts for this ible, I already have the barrels, I'm trying to get the handle shape and cardboard. Then the hinge.

[gmjhowe]

cool, any more question do ask, and be sure to show me a finished pic!

[mikeEinsein]

2 thingz. 1: are you doing any new projects? 2: in the next few weeks look around on this site for sum new cyberpunk pistols. I made dem sveet!

[gmjhowe]

I have many many project ideas. But, as for current projects, 1. The book of time, and 3 'decoder' books, as well as an instrument for reading said book 2. The Liquid Blade of The Three Deserts - spear sword 3. Multi-missile pepper box pistol

[mikeEinsein]

my confirmed projects include a bulky junk gun with break-in-half action, a futuristic bladerunner type gun, and a compact one barrel sawed-off shotgun. my only set back is the knowledge of how to do a sweet paint job, like the one used in your vampiric shotgun, and lack of a digital camera.

[gmjhowe]

The dry brushing really isnt that hard, i can explain it more via a PM if you wish?

[mikeEinsein]

sounds like a plan. just one question, what's PM

[gmjhowe]

If you click on my name, you will get to my profile, once there, cast your eyes to my avatar, then just below that, is a button bearing the name Private Message, this being the elusive PM, that we speak of.

[mikeEinsein]

I say. Since i have absolutley no money and i love your work, why dont i trade weapons with you?

[gmjhowe]

I will keep my eye out, i tend to browse all the recent ones.

[theblackalbum110]

I,m planning to make a Cyber-punk lever action rifle. i just need to find the time

[gmjhowe]

like the one he uses in terminator? Make the time. I cut out TV in order to make things.

[BioMaster1299]

Blade should've used that on Dracula... If you've seen Blade:Trinity

[gmjhowe]

Yeah ive seen Blade trinity! Would have stood no chance...

[ajk97]

Here it is all i need to do is add the leather

[gmjhowe]

Very nice! should look pretty sweet with the leather on.

[mg0930mg]

Can I have your V for Vendetta poster.. Hehe.

[Meroki]

dude that is awesome, could i like...commision one off of you? btw nice choice in music x3

[gmjhowe]

You can purchase this one if you want. I don't have room for it.

[Meroki]

what would it cost?

[gmjhowe]

id be looking for about £40 for it.

[Meroki]

oh, um i need to find out how much that is in USD

[gmjhowe]

40.00 GBP = 59.8486 USD

You got good conversion atm... few months back that would of been 80 USD

[mg0930mg]

$60. HMM.. I want that. I need money though...

[bobby sissom]

your gonna shoot your eye out

[ajk97]

I made one and its sweet! (*-*_)

[gmjhowe]

Picture!

[cowscankill]

Very nice, indeed. I still have not trained myself to apply much detail to my things.

[gmjhowe]

You will, give it time.

[cowscankill]

Ah, well, let's just see what happens to my future gun models ;)

[gmjhowe]

Well, you always welcome to pm/comment me any time for help. I look forward to seeing some of them! Even if you don't manage a full ible, be sure to at least put slideshows up. (i know they don't get as many views, but i love to absorb other peoples ways of working and ideas)

[NinjaSloth]

what is PVA?

[gmjhowe]

Wood glue, or elmers glue.

[jwomack94]

Those vials look suspiciously like insulin vials for a Novopen. (My son is Type 1 diabetic) Great use for them.

[gmjhowe]

Yeah, my mum supplies me with them! Great thing to use.

[jwomack94]

How do you keep the hinge closed when 'in action'? Is there a latch that I can't see?

[gmjhowe]

the tightness of the bolt that it pivots on is enough to hold it in place. You could add magnets however.

[Nattwood]

im going to be builduing a working and firing pump action crossbow as well (or as soon as i get to a hardware store anyway) so if anyone wants an instructable plz tell me so i can start it soon

[gmjhowe]

Kiteman Says..

[Nattwood]

ok then i will post everything, but i dont know how long it will be its still kinda in planning and prototyping, but as soon as i get started on the full thing i will post.

[gmjhowe]

thats fine, make sure to take your time, i always get a much better end result if i take my time.

[Nattwood]

well im on holidays now until 27th of jan so i might have it finished by then it all depends

[gmjhowe]

well, if you need some pointers feel free to PM me etc, or you can talk to me directly in the Instructables Chatroom im the head Moderator, so im in there alot..

[Nattwood]

nice idea i like it, im thinking of doin one but crossing it with this

[gmjhowe]

Nice, kind like a shortened three barrel shotgun idea - i did think about going for more than two barrels, but bumpus quickly put me back in my place.

[ItsTheHobbs]

Just a question, what do the silver nitrate and acid do? I mean, the c-4s kinda obvious...

[gmjhowe]

Silver nitrate - vampire alergic to silver, also handy for werewolves. Acid, just damages most things...

[ItsTheHobbs]

Vampires aren't allergic to silver... I personally would put garlic paste in it's place.

[peanutthegreat]

"Ahhhhh, vampires! coming down from the hills! Quick Boby, get out the garlic paste....

[gmjhowe]

and you have taken out how many vampires? trust me, they do not like silver...

[ItsTheHobbs]

I've met enough vampires to know they are not affected by silver.

[gmjhowe]

Met, but not slain... hmmm

[ItsTheHobbs]

Well, from what I've read, some vampires may have an aversion to silver. Still, I would put garlic in there.

[gmjhowe]

Well, from what I've read

Well, from what i have experienced, although silver is not lethal, it weakens their bodily forms, which allows the acid and c4 to do their thing.

Garlic, they just don't like the taste of... it doesn't do them any harm..

[mg0930mg]

You could put garlic chunks inside the silver vial. That way you both are satisfied.

[heliosrising]

They don't like silver. My Cousin's one, and he'd know.

[mg0930mg]

That's what I'm saying, put garllic chunks into the silver. That way they are weakened. Shoot it into their mouth, it burns/hurts them, and they don't like the taste.

[Mr. Brownie]

Just do what Van Hellsing did to his stakes, put Holy Water in them.

[peanutthegreat]

Yaaaaaay!!!!! Hellsing!!!!!

[ItsTheHobbs]

Holy water is just one of those strange religious beliefs that I don't get. What makes it holy, a strange man that talks to it?

[mg0930mg]

True, I forgot the holy water.

[heliosrising]

Holy water soaked stakes smeared with garlic, with bits of sliver on it. Perfect.

[Mr. Brownie]

Actually, Hellsing had a vial at the top aof a stake that contained holy water, so the water is injecteed into the vampire and kills it from the inside.

[gmjhowe]

well if were gonna go that far, i will get to work on some UV rounds... sure to do the trick..

[mg0930mg]

Yes, Muy Bien! haha, Nice idea.

[Chrysaor]

That Gun is amazing! But sorry, being the newbie!, I cant work out how you load the shells without them going all the way down the tubes and falling out? :| Dumb question, I know, but just can't work it out (",)

[gmjhowe]

I put a couple of bolts in the barrel which act as stoppers, thanks for the comment

[Chrysaor]

Thanks for clearing that up :) You've really inspired me to make one now. Thanks for posting your build and picture of the end result. Awesome!!!!!! :D Right off to Wickes tomorrow morning then :) !!

[gmjhowe]

haha! yes, alot of stuff comes from there, including the hinge i use on most my handguns!

[tallfuzzyone]

but doesn't work.....useless....

[gmjhowe]

Its a prop, its useful as a decoration for a home (talking piece) or to sell for lots of money to indie film makers.

[mg0930mg]

Have you sold any of yours?

[gmjhowe]

not yet, but working on it!

[mg0930mg]

I've seen steampunkk nerf guns go for $600 for the cs longshot. Your's could easily go for that amount. Good Luck!

[mg0930mg]

You would make a lot. I know I'd easily pay $50+ bucks for one of them guns. If I had the money.

[Damage, Inc.]

One thing I've always wanted to do is take apart a camera and rig up the flash so at the press of a button it would go off in the barrel.

[gmjhowe]

I have a camera flash gun, awaiting this purpose - you can buy flash guns that clip onto cameras, most the time they have a test feature - saves tearing anything apart, or resoldering etc.

[ItsTheHobbs]

Best one so far, definitely. Hmmm...... I might even be able to make this one, if I do, I'll post some pics.

[gmjhowe]

Nice, i look forward to some pictures!

[temp]

it would be awesome if it was like... real. but it's not =( ...sigh

[mikeEinsein]

I've Been admiring your work for a while and I must say, this might be one of your best pieces to date. Keep it up! Also on another note, I'm new to the cyberpunk scene, so any tips you might have could be very helpfull

[gmjhowe]

Make it look like its old, and grungy - try not to over complicate things, a partial dry brushed effect always works, there is always something a bit future like about things, normally relating to computers, etc. Thanks for the comment.

[mikeEinsein]

Thanks! Oh, and by the way, My name is supposed to be mikeEinstein but my forgettfulness made it look like Einsein. I'm also working on a project making an airsoft gun look CP. I could send a pic and you could give me suggestions.

[gmjhowe]

Id love to look at some pics, and offer advice.

[mikeEinsein]

Cool! Just as soon as I get a digital cam. I'll post'em

[mikeEinsein]

Oh! and I might have a lead on an old webcam so I might just post the thing on my you tube account.

[gmjhowe]

sounds good.

[mikeEinsein]

also, an anti freak hand cannon could go nicely with the shotgun.

[Brennn10]

The king of cyberpunk strikes once again. This looks sweet!

[gmjhowe]

Thanks! Its nice to be called to king of cyberpunk, instead of steampunk!

[Brennn10]

Haha, well I guess cyberpunk is a mix between the internet and steampunk. Of which you utilize both!

[gmjhowe]

Indeed.

[MatrixPhreak]

Real nice 'ible, it looks great and I love the shells. Also, nice choice on music for the video . \m/ Machinae Supremacy \m/

[gmjhowe]

YEAH! MACHINAE SUPREMACY! Thanks for the comment, the shells were my fav part, they are what make it different.

[voltskaterzb]

does it really shoot?

[jongscx]

Yes, but unfortunately only at vampires...

[gmjhowe]

... Try reading the ible! :P

[omnibot]

Yes, cardboard tubes and tinfoil is a major component in all modern firearms.

[gmjhowe]

Haha! thats the funniest comment ive read in a while.

[omnibot]

Thanx
_{this comment is sarcasm-free}

[chiok]

Next to your creative ability, is your painting abilities. I always like the paint effect you achieve on your items that have that "antique firearm" look that some of my actual guns have. Beautiful work again sir!

[gmjhowe]

Everyone loves the paint jobs, ive done it so many times now, its like second nature! Thanks for the comment.

[jeff-o]

Now why didn't Buffy think of this? ;)

[gmjhowe]

Well, im not sure why. There was that episode where she used a rocket launcher?

[jeff-o]

Oh, I'm sure. In general though, she tends to stick with sharp and pointed weapons. I suppose that it would have been more accurate to ask why Blade didn't think of this. ;)

[bumpus]

Yes.

^_Yes..

[gmjhowe]

I can picture the way you pronounce those words perfectly.

[=SMART=]

Hahaha yea me too :D

[Kiteman]

Sort of a faraway dreaming look, combined with a slack jaw and just little too much drool...

[gmjhowe]

haha, with a little twist of evil?

[=SMART=]

haha like a mad scientist

[crapflinger]

just my opinion but it looks a lot more resident evil than it does cyberpunk...but i guess that's more a state of mind than a look...

[gmjhowe]

Perhaps, i see what you mean, kinda grungy, like the games.

[crapflinger]

still nifty looking though

[KentsOkay]

That has got to be the most bad ass gun TO DATE. Congrats, 5 star!

[KentsOkay]

See, silly JimyJoe no think me post a comment..

[Sunbanks]

That's really awesome looking! :D How long did it take you to make?

[gmjhowe]

Ive been working on it and other things for about 5 weeks or so now.

[=SMART=]

Very very cool ! It looks really good ! I love the vial shells !!

[gmjhowe]

Thanks smart! they are what make it really..
