Just as a side project to modding my lightsabers, I wanted a prop gun of some kind...so I picked up a NERF Crosscut 2x4, removed the pump action, painted it gloss black as a primer coat, wrapped the handle in leather, and touched up some of the highlight lines with Metallic Finish Rub N' Buff. It was intended to be a sort of improvised, highly illegal slugthrower shotgun for my Gray Jedi character...sadly, I found halfway through that California conventions usually require an orange tip or bright green tip be present on prop firearms. So this project is kind of dead... consider this an open casket funeral.
RIP, Slugcloud 5K.
