Here lately people have been hounding me to post something on my boomstick. I used the Auto-Grip, yet another hated on gun, to make a stick of death. I can add the Armor-Shot to the long list of guns I've pulled from the abyss.

These guns are super simple. Take a Dremel tool and remove all excess shenanigans on the outside of the gun (the extra plastic that holds stuff on). On the Auto-Grip, remove the flip up handled and Dremel all around that. Then hot glue in a 3" piece of 3/4" CPVC where the air hose was located. In the 3/4" CPVC, nest a 6" piece of 1/2" CPVC. Finally, cut a 3.5" piece off of a coat hanger. Tape it on to the gun so that by pushing the metal rod, it engages the small trigger.

On the Armor-Shot, take off the flip up ammo holder. Again, I Dremeled off all the excess plastic (i.e. the plastic that holds the handle). I then Dremeled a hole 1/2" in diameter on the front of the plunger tube. I then glued on a 4" piece of 1/2" CPVC. I wrapped some electrical tape around both of the boomsticks to add support. I added rubber bands to the Armor-Shot because I felt it needed more velocity.

Both of these are 70+ feet firing weapons. The official long on the boomstick is 79 feet while the Armor-Shot hit out at 77 feet.

There you have it... two guns that at one point no one could give away, modified into sticks of death.

And here are the other delights...

That's a pic of my newly updated arsenal. I think it's about 89 guns hanging on the pegboard. There's another 13 that are being restored/modified and are on the work bench.

My loving girlfriend painted the pegboard, the shelf, and helped me hang all of those up. She's such a wonderful girlfriend. :D

As always... feel free to ask questions about the boomsticks or anything in general. Hope you have enjoyed another Starbuck/Noid modification.

Very nice job on both.

What are the ranges on that CPVCed blue 3k? Also, what are those yellow and orange packages in the third picture next to the TTG targets? Thanks.

And as everyone knows, money makes the world go round. It's also the root of all evil, therefore the world going round is evil, and we should stop the rotation of the planet.

There's a scene from boondock saints thats dying to be filmed in that space with all the guns on the wall and the tripod razorbeast. You just need to stick a bowie knife and some rope on the wall and you're set.

I'm glad you all are enjoying everything.

Langley, filming starts next week in the basement, so if you want a backstage pass I can get you one...
