That is so beautiful. The Red recon and longshot only add to the beauty!

I only have an old wooden rack for my guns.

Thanks...if you look close at the updated rack pics on page 2, you can see my red vulcan too. Her handle is peeking out on the bottom between the blue longshot & the longstrike,

Might I suggest using eyelets on the guns, rather that attaching the hooks to them in places? They could be under the handle, where they'd be unable to affect usage, or on top of the barrel, where it could double as a functionally useless iron sight. Unless I'm misreading this, the hooks are hooked on to the guns in holes already on them; this seems like a great way to either scratch your blasters (which could be solved with vinyl tubing but wouldn't address the second problem) or have blasters slip off the rack (like the Longshots in that pic look like they're about to).

Good job sir. This is beautiful.

Do you mean drill into the gun & place a grommet in the hole? Pretty slick idea!

As far as the Longshots falling off....they wont, I put them on then locked the stock closed short. They arent going anywhere!

Well, the rack is 2 pieces on the side & has little pieces to stabilize it on the bottom. Hard to explain....see if this pic helps.




In fact, I just glued it with PVC cement today! I had it just fitted with no glue & it held up fine! But it is a lot sturdier now. I did not glue it all together....just certain parts so I could take it apart to move it easier.

My son got a Tommy 20 for his 6th birthday. He & I thought it was pretty kool. His birthday was the end of November 2009. I got him a Longshot with some of his birthday money. He & I loved that even more. I also liked the qualty of Nerf brand products & how they look. Well, Christmas was coming so I got him a bunch more guns when they were running sales. Now, 40+ guns & 3 months later...we are lovin it. I pick up some used ones at Goodwill & started modded them now which is fun too, so now I am learning that as well. Finally, it is a great way to bond with my son too!

WOW! Some of those are kool! (& I thought we had a lot of guns!)

I like the idea of the tubing too!

I just put aquarium airline tubing over the hooks....worked great!
Thank you so much for the idea!
