#13: The Piece of Eight (2011)

Base: Lanard Rotator X-8

The gun this was made out of, the Lanard Rotator, is a KILLER piece, and I had a lot of fun doing this custom… so much so that I postponed my Tornado Strike custom to do it. >.>

The Piece of Eight is fairly versatile as a prop. Could be steampunk or cyberpunk or just cool-looking period piece… take your pick, suggest an official backstory in the comments even! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do… it’s definitely one of my favorites so far. ^_^

Features:
- 8 dart chambers in an auto-rotating cylinder
- Magazine Loaded
- 35 Feet of Range
- A very clean 5-color paint-job done by hand and by spray (Black undercoat, Silver spray, Black speckle coat, Gold detailing, Bronze detailing)
- Cocking Hammer with satisfying clicking sound when fired.

How does the gun fire? Is that piece on the base of the handle used to pump up pressure or is it just cosmetic?

Great work, btw.

The bulb on the bottom is part of the original gun. It's connected to the top of a 2-part spring plunger than takes up most of the back of the gun. You pull down to set the plunger and then push back up to reset the trigger. You fire with the trigger. Because of the large plunger and the well-balanced darts, the ranges are pretty good, too.

And thanks! ^_^

I'd suggest it, if you can find 'em. Fastastic little gun. They go for about 8-10 USD at Kmart, Big K, and Ocean State Job Lot. I've heard of a couple other dispersed regional locations as well, but rarely. And of course, Johnson Arms, I believe, has a few pre-buffed ones available, or did last time I checked.

I promise that the next one being mostly black is purely a happenchance ;) I was just thinking about making one in the coloration of Hell Boy's Good Samaritan and I think that's the main body color, but I better go look again to be sure

Very nice job on the gun, as usual :)

Heh, thanks! I don't care what color you use, I just wanna see more of these things get customized. I've never seen one turn out badly yet. Mostly because I've only ever seen two. :p

Oh, I was wondering. Did you get a significant distance difference after your AR modification? I did a full AR removal on this one and I'm not seeing any major difference.

Thanks for your comment on my flintlock!

I'm very interested in this gun here, but I can't seem to find it in stores. Yours looks very awesome. Would you recommend using this blaster?
