Steampunk Nerf Gun

Two weeks ago me and my friends attended the first event of Chronos, a new sci-fi larp. We had a blast playing a bunch of rough miners exploring a new world infested with weird locals wielding all kinds of bladed weaponry. Because we were noncombatants we only used some small self defence weapons: most of us only had a jolt (or two), and two or three knives between the four of us. Having only done one other sci-fi larp, and that being indoors, I decided to try and give my Jolt some visual modifications.

 I must admit I quite like how it turned out. You can see the result of a few hours filing and gluing below.
