Destiny Deviant Gravity-A Machine Gun

I'm excited about this one--I've made a replica of a gun from a video game before the video game was even released! I figure all you cosplayers out there who might want to be the first to do something from Bungie's newest game, Destiny will be able to get a head start on your costume! To tell the truth, after playing the Beta, the costumes don't look that hard to make for anyone who has cosplayed before, so perhaps you'll want to consider doing just that for the next convention that we all know is right around the corner!

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

To cut costs, this gun does not have any fancy electronic components, although if anyone is interested, I have the ability to make the scope into an actual (albeit rudimentary) red-dot holosight.  However, if someone interested in purchasing this gun wants that option, it will be an extra sixty bucks tacked onto the price. I feel like that's fair.

The Nerf gun is still fully functional, although due to the length of the barrel, don't expect to be getting much range out of the darts; there's too much friction from the darts hitting the sides of the barrel. This was originally a Nerf Stampede, so firing it does require six D-cell batteries, which are not included.

The magazine holds 35 Streamline or Elite darts, and to remove it, first wiggle the fake bullet chain out of the side of the receiver and then pull the magazine release button.  Just a note when putting the magazine back in, the magazine catch seems to have worn out after many epic battles in my living room, so you have to ensure it catches on the magazine by tapping the bottom of the magazine and making sure the magazine release button is in the forward-most position on either side of the gun.

I'm asking $110 for it, most of which goes to cover the cost of the Nerf gun, and the two 35-rd drum magazines that were used to make it.

Here's the link to buy it.
