Dead Space Plasma Cutter

After a friend saw a badly-painted Nerf Hail-Fire, he mistakenly thought I had made a Dead Space Plasma Cutter with the wings removed so it wouldn't shoot. I had not, however he did inspire me to look into building one. So I did some research and found the Nerf Hail-Fire does resemble the Plasma Cutter quite well.

This is a semi-automatic nerf replica that is actually only about an inch longer than the dimensions of the genuine replica sold on ThinkGeek.  Unfortunately, in order to retain the ability for the gun to fire, I was unable to create a rotating mechanism so it would have "vertical" and "horizontal" cutting positions, but I do believe I could make one that rotated if anyone wanted me to.

I did however recreate the laser targeting reticle the plasma cutter makes look so cool! There are three laser pointers "floating" in between the blades so at the flip of a switch, you can take aim to hack away at those pesky Necromorph limbs!

I'd like $200 for it, but $150 would be fine.

Mass Effect Graal Spike Thrower

This gun is inspired by the Graal Spike Thrower from Mass Effect 2 and 3.  It includes the "Shotgun Blade Attachment" upgrade that is available in game.  There is a replica thermal clip in the top of the gun, and there are two strips of blue LEDs on either side of the gun.  To turn the lights on, the slide mechanism must be brought rearward, just like the reloading action in the game. There are two double-A batteries on either side of the gun under the grooved panels. Lastly, the gun will fire two darts at once, with a total of four shots.

I'm asking for $200, but I will consider all offers.

SOLD: Replica Gears of War Lancer

I made a replica of the Gears of War Lancer out of a Nerf Recon and a toy chainsaw.

The chainsaw blade moved back-and-forth, the body of the gun lit up with blue LEDs, and the charging handle doubled as a chainsaw grip.  It used four triple-A batteries, in a pack under the chainsaw, near the magazine well.

I sold it for $200.

I used to lead a men's bible study in my home.  One of the ways I helped these dudes get to know and like each other was through the use of Nerf guns.  It sounds weird, but anytime someone new entered the group, if you handed them a dart gun, and then someone else shot them, it was on. Thirty minutes later, everyone would be relaxed on the couch, talking about work, and sharing what was going on in their life in a real and authentic way. I don't know how it happened. It was all God.

At this point in my life, I no longer lead Mangroup, as it was called, but I'm left with the fifty-some Nerf gun arsenal Mangroup donated to the house.  After looking around eBay, and seeing that video game replicas and props do sell well, I decided to turn my Nerf gun collection into replicas of weapons from video games and try to sell them.  I've sold one already, but so the world can see what I am capable of, I will post the pictures of that build also.  This blog will serve as my record of what I did for each project, and also offer a venue for me to post pictures to Facebook and whatever.

Unless otherwise stated, every project I make will be a fully-functional Nerf gun, it will light up in some way, and it will recreate some of the features of the video game weapon it is modeled after.  My prices will be negotiable, and if anyone wants to request I make a specific weapon, please let me know, and I will work with you to see what I can come up with.

All proceeds from this endeavor will help send me to France as a church planter when I graduate with my MDiv in about a year.
