Making a Wood Minigun

Making a Wood Minigun

Despite only firing rubber bands, we would not want to be on the business end of this wooden minigun. Generic Woodworking shows off the incredible amount of blood, sweat, and tears it took to build this impressive toy weapon. It uses parts from a lawn trimmer and a belt sander to drive its mechanism, and makes an unnerving popping sound as it fires off rounds.

Building Attack on Titan’s ODM Gear

Attack on Titan fans know one of the coolest ways to battle a Titan is while wearing omni-directional mobility gear.

Svetlana from KamuiCosplay created this epic shield based on the one wielded by Overwatch’s Brigitte, wearing her custom Diablo skin by Zach Fisher.

Working Halo Rail Gun

Working Halo Rail Gun

Inspired by Halo Infinite, Charles from Hacksmith Industries was enlisted to build a weapon that looks like the game’s MA5 assault rifle. Their real-world version uses electromagnetic coils to accelerate and launch projectiles, much like the U.S. Navy’s railgun system. It’s worth watching just for the coil-winding montage.

Making a Captain America’s Shield Bounce

Making a Captain America’s Shield Bounce

Captain America’s shield possesses some impressive, but implausible physical characteristics.

Making Spidey’s Web Shooters
