Yoko's Sniper Rifle - Cosplay Prop - Battery Ejection

Short and crappy video showing the loading and ejection of a "spent battery" on my Yoko Ritona Sniper Rifle I made for a friend who is going to cosplay as her soon. (character from the anime series Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)(what a mouthful!)

In the video, the cover of the stock box is removed to better show the mechanism, and because i was still working on it at the time (a few things were changed/added after this take).

But, essentially, this is it.

And sorry for the bad lighting! n_nU

Oh shit son, nice work you got. Does it shoot though :p

I've dreamt of having a tazer shotgun but hey, a lightning sniper rifle is also fucking epic. How much would it cost to make one?

[faborzon]

Thanks.

Of course it doesn't shoot, it was made for cosplay purposes. :P

I didn't spend too much on it. I used cheap materials, like PVC tubes, MDF, polyester putty, etc. Nothing luxurious, so it was cheap in materials and I had the tools already.

I did spent a lot of time building it, however.

That is not cheap. ;)

Omg, do you take commissions?

Or could you post a tutorial of it?

I'm planning on cosplaying Yoko soon ^_^

And what kind of paint did you use? How does it look so shiny?? And I'd like to know about the spring mechanism as well..

[faborzon]

Thank you!

I used gloss finish synthetic enamel paints. I mixed my own color to better match illustrations. Flashes make it look a little bluer, though. :(

I sprayed it with an airbrush and used a slow drying solvent, so paint has a little more time to "level" itself up before drying, for a better surface.

The spring mechanism... it is much harder to explain... Anyway, I'd like to remake it someday, but simpler.

You can send me a PM if you need more details.

I ran out of space! LOL

[aurion123]

now all we need is yoko....XD

[faborzon]

LOL

But yeah, I'm still waiting for my friend to use it ... ¬_¬UUUU

[janrex087]

does someone know how to make a drill?

[nyuuchan356]

And here I thought it used bullets...I've been wondering..."What caliber is her rifle!?" Maybe a .500? .600? Lol. But now I find out it takes BATTERIES!? What size? D's? C's? Lol.

[KyouyaGavin]

WOAH this is SO awesome! Did you make this yourself and... how much did it cost you? This is so awesome. Is it portable, so you can transport it in pieces?

[Buddycash96]

Can you make one and ship the parts to me?

[sasuke222able]

where did you gett the yoko sniper gun please give me the page please

[kenziedog101]

[Nikolai130]

что с этой косплей вещи? я имею в виду, все мои друзья одержима такое. что ебать? Может, это аниме дерьмо? потому что мои друзья одержимы аниме.

[ishouldplayzelda]

neat but it should "clank". that would be so much cooler

[Loverocket454]

Could you please send me a materials list of the things you used to make it and directions. I am hoping to make one for cosplay and my anime weapons collection. (^w^)

[cclevans]
