MOD: Nerf Hammershot - Let the Zombie-Slaying Begin!

The Mad Hammer
The Mad Hammer!

Introducing the post-apocolyptic dream weapon: The Mad Hammer!

And yes, the cloth wrap is finally a reality.



The Mad Hammer is, at its core, just a Hammershot like any other Hammershot. It's the cosmetics that set it apart.




The first thing I did was take some gravel, 60-grit sandpaper, and other sharp and/or rough things, and scratched it up. This served two purposes: 1) to remove some of the paint and the "shiny new" look, and 2) provided a nice base for the battle-damaged look soon to come.

After removing the gleam, I got down and dirty to give it "battlefield experience".  DO NOT try this at home without an adult's supervision.
I lit the gun on fire.
I selected several points that I wanted to look as though they had made actual contact with a bullet or piece of shrapnel, then held a match up to each spot till it had its own flame, then quickly and thoroughly put it out. The effect it had was sooty and visibly deformed, as though it had been hit by a fast-moving projectile.

After that, I took a silver Sharpie marker and went over most of the corners, edges, and "damaged" spots to make it look as though some of the paint had worn off, leaving bare metal showing through.
May the zombies cower
to see this power!

Finally, I wrapped camouflage paracord around the holes in the front of the gun, cut up an old, stained green rag, and wrapped it thoroughly around the handle for a comfier, grippier, and more awesome-looking handgrip.

Oh, and yes; I added my signature crosshairs to the left side in black Sharpie.


So there you have it folks! The inside scoop on the famous revolver we've come to know and love as The Mad Hammer! And remember, you heard it here first on The Tacticool Nerfer!
