The tip fit back in perfectly so I put it and the trigger back in and closed up the gun. Then I cut away everything from the body that wasn’t needed. I wanted the trigger to work, but didn’t need all the glue driving mechanism so I just chopped everything away that wasn’t needed to keep the trigger springy. Then drove it through to form the slightly less than safe front of the prop. The hot-head was needed to form the tip so I just drilled it out to accept a nail which I ground the tip of a bit to make it a bit more syringe and a bit less nail. I gutted it and tossed all the electricals into recycling. I found a glue gun that didn’t properly heat, and that’s like 3/4 of the way there out of the gate! It didn’t have to look like the original prop, just remind people of it so into the bit box! It was the Zydrate gun used to administer the corpse-bug derived drug central to the story and much needed to sell the costume. With near zero budget and no time I made her one. So a friend needed a prop for a costume from the gloriously weird and unique Repo The Genetic Opera for a burlesque performance. Part of a series of things I made and just sort of sat on the pictures and didn’t tell anyone.
