My Grap Gun - Pics
Hey all, just wanted to show you what I've been working on this past week. It's made out of a 5 dollar nerf gun from walmart and some paint. I think I will buy some more of those guns and make a few more of these. For the cost, it's a great prop:

Re: My new Grap gun
shoots darts right?
Well, now you just need to get some foamies and make a few "hooks" up for it.
Get a sheet, a tube or pipe the right size, and if you have one a heat gun. Wrap the foamies sheet around the pipe and heat it up until it bends, let it cool, cut to form a nice straight line, then glue it together, add some fins, paint it up and you're done. They have LOTS of different foamies shapes now, including little marshmallows that would make a good tip for the hook. I'd use a contact cement to glue it so there's no chance of it coming apart.
Make a few, I think it'll be too fun for just one.

if you do this, you have to post pictures when you're done so we can be jealous. :p

Re: My new Grap gun
I bought a couple of the same guns to mod, saw them in the clearance isle so I knew I could use them for something.
You did a real nice job.

Re: My new Grap gun
Thanks for those links. I think when I get the other nerf guns they have at wally world I'm going to make them so they still shoot stuff out. On this one it had a large thing you had to pull out to cock it, but if I could make it smaller and less noticeable while still working, it would work as a semi-functional prop.

Re: My new Grap gun
Thanks brin, I appreciate it. As with everything though, there are multiple things that could be better, which is where the other guns will come into place. Nothing like having enough material to make a few mistakes with. I know I learned a few things with making this one that I will use on future attempts to better the outcomes.

Re: My new Grap gun
glad you got that, I'd of felt stupid if you didn't.
You might be able to just cut off the back and add a screw into the plastic on the side.
Hard to say without having one in hand, but I'm sure it can be made to work without that thing on the back.
