Blaster Thing WIP

archeopterix2680

This is a WIP (Work In Progress) of a blaster or personal sidearm I've been working on on and off for a few weeks. Unlike my other previous raygun/firearm projects in which they've been cobbled together mostly from found objects this one is composed almost entirely of PVC pipe. It features the first custom made butt or grip that I've created. It was formed from a segment of PVC pipe which was heated, flattened and shaped and then ground in places with a dremel to give it more detail. The additional thickness was added by layering epoxy putty over EVA foam in the same manner as I made the dagger handles. The detail parts are made of pieces cut out of corrugated plastic tubing and strips of rubber.

This was inspired by a story concept I've been considering in which this weapon represents a kind of low-cost or cheap, low powered and low end weapon commonly carried by civilians for self defense. Favored by food service personnel and other low paid laborers to defend themselves. After all alien scavengers
in the kitchen are a health code violation.
