I started making techno-steampunk type weaponry years before the explosion of mass shootings in the U.S. In the midst of this storm of domestic atrocities, I have wondered if I have any business making pretend weapons. But sometimes I hold something in my hand and it just seems to go “ZAP” and leave an imaginary hole in the nearest wall. So here are some of them in all their imaginative glory.
Tree trimmer hook, kitchen utility and more microwave guts 
Plumbing fixture with long loopy handle 
Bicycle part with klystron and heat gun nozzle 
Some kind of decorative this with a window latch 
Another nozzle but this time with motor parts 
Garden hose nozzle + parts from deadbolt lock + heating element 
Take pneumatic drill body, this emts bright green light from the barrell 
Lawn light spike with electrical pieces 
My old soldering iron, rebornt 
Handsaw handle and electric motor innards 
Started with a paper towel dispenser. Added motor parts, etc. Handle from a weed-whacker of some some device. Added motor coils for vision of bad-assness. Kitchen utilnet handle and old-school cloth insulated word Made from a curling iron This one has a wrist strap – why the hell doesn’t every hand weapon have one? Camera tripod parts plus computer disks (and copper wire wrap) Start with a burner out of gas oven, add motor parts, flashlight and wire wrap
