Megamind's DE-gun

This is the DE-gun, sometimes called the Dehydration Gun, from the DreamWorks movie Megamind. I loved the design when I first saw the movie, so I decided to try to make a replica of my own! I spent A LOT of time on this thing. XD It's also my first gun built from scratch, although I've modded a few Nerf guns here and there for nefarious--err, I mean, *steampunk* purposes.

Many thanks to Gavin and the members of the Megamind LJ community for their encouragement and overall awesomeness! <3

Oh! I forgot to mention, it also lights up. :3 Click here for a video: [link]

Now shinier and more movie-accurate than ever: here's version 2.0 of the DE-gun! <3
