this simple ray gun, which i am calling the rattlesnake, is among my favorite creations to date, and we are counting everything, not just the items that are thematically appropriate to post here. its fairly simple, im using the handle of a flint lock i made many years ago, on which i have mounted the "barrel" which is made of many plastic domed disks. the trigger is brass tubing and the side panels are sheet plastic. overall i love the look, though i need to put proper grips on the handle. but more than its appearance i like the fact that unlike so many of my creations, its pretty solidly built, its not going to break if i drop it. these things really matter, a prop isnt just about how it looks, its also about how it feels in your hand, and the rattlesnake doesnt feel like its going to fall apart. this is a step in the right direction.
