How To Make a REAL Laser Rifle

Intro : Make a REAL Laser Rifle!

Yes, and it's not one of those dumb movie props, its the real thing! I only had a 5 mw laser, but YOU can put in a 500 watt one so it will cut through metal! (Or should I say "shoot"...) Then, I would advise you to make this out of metal.

Let's get started!

First Step : Materials

You will need:

1 flip-open cardboard box.
1 binocular/scope
1 tube, preferably metal. (I used plastic, but that stuff bends...)
1 pen-sized laser, or whatever type of laser you want to put in there.
1 glue gun.
5-8 glue sticks.
coloring materials.
1 scissors.
1 box cutter.
sandpaper.
1 red and white flashlight
tissue paper

Step 2 : Making the Stock

Grab your flip-open box, and and make a v-shaped cut into the back. Make sure the top can still flip open. Once you have done that, cover that up with cardboard. Also, make a little cut into the back for the laser to smoothly slide into. DO NOT cut it entirely off, but instead, fold it in. This will provide resistance for your laser so it will not slide around while using it.

Step 3 : Cut the Tube to Size and Adding Misc.

The smaller, the easier to handle. I worked with about a foot and a half. (0.457 meters)
Make sure the tube is as straight as possible. After you cut it, sand the ends of the tube so they are flat, level, and smooth. Insert the tube into the box. The one from step 2. Also: add your scope, I had to use binoculars, and cut a box hole in the front for the "Armed" sign.

Step 4 : "Armed" Sign, and Flashlight

That hole you cut in front , cover it with masking tape. Grab a Kleenex, write "Armed" on it, cut it to size, and stick it to the back of the tape, in the box. Grab a red flashlight, and tape/glue to be right behind the "Armed" sign. Now, cut a hole on the side so you can turn it on without opening the box. Next, cut a square hole in the bottom and place a LED flashlight right there. MAke sure you cut a second hole to turn it on.

Last Step : Firing

Now, I don't exactly have a super powerful laser, but you can retrofit it so it fits your needs.

I will tell you this rifle is perfect for shooting at city info signs. (Stop signs, speed limit signs, etc.)
The signs will light up like fire if you have a good laser, and you can do it from almost a mile away. That i what the scope/binocular is for. Heheheheeee....

Anyway...Happy shooting!
