The vials are filled with a red liquid (combination of reddish dish soap and red food coloring), with the corks wax sealed before the 'ammo' was loaded into the cylinder.

Thanks :) This was my second attempt at a steampunk prop weapon. The first was a fairly simplistic sawed-off shotgun made out of wood and pvc with a couple brass bits attached. For this one, most of the brass bits were from the plumbing department at Home Depot (with some modifications made); the knife switch and wire were from Lowe's; and I made the various gauges on the hinge and the one side. The batteries for the in-cylinder light are stored in the barrel. Right now the gun's partially disassembled as the battery connection was a little loose.

Only the second attempt? Damn, nice.

I'm a perfectionist who tends to over-research things. ;) In my mind, I should (tho likely won't) tear it apart at some point to use as templates to rough out a much better version. I'll post a close-up of some of the custom gauges in a bit, they were made using instructions from Brute Force Studios' "Steampunk Gear, Gadgets, and Gizmos" ( http://www.bruteforceleather.com/store/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=437 ). May post a photo of the first attempt as well, not sure yet.

That's not a bad idea.
