Description

The Clipgun was the Scorpio crew's standard sidearm during Series 4, and featured replaceable ammo clips with different functions. The aluminium shrouds were made by a friend who produced a number of working laser-quest guns. I machined the muzzle, barrel and scope on the lathe from aluminium tube. All the other parts I laser cut from various thickness' of acrylic sheet. The gun has a working trigger and the clip is removable and held in with magnets.
