Mass Effect M-96 Mattock Replica

This might be one of my favorite projects because it turned out so well!

It started out as a Nerf Rayven, but turned into a pretty close replica of one of the hardest-hitting assault rifles from Mass Effect 3!  I am really impressed with the results.

But enough of my excitement--see for yourself.

The Nerf gun takes four AA batteries, located underneath a panel that is held in place by one screw on the right side of the stock.  Additionally, the illuminated thermal clip requires an additional four AA batteries, located in the foregrip of the gun. To access these, slide forward the part of the black tube that is a different diameter than the rest of the pipe. Lift the first battery out, and then tilt the gun upside-down for the rest of the batteries to slide down and fall out.

The switch for the lights is on the left side, just forward of the trigger, underneath the panel on the side. For my giant hands, it is easily accessed by the trigger finger, by reaching through the trigger guard. Lefties should have no problem reaching it.

The Nerf gun is still fully-functional, and to fire, prime the gun by holding down the second trigger (the lower one) and then pull the primary trigger to fire.

I'm asking for $175 for this one.
