Doctor Grymm presents the CLERIC gun built for Medicine Show Cinema. This weapon will be the main characters weapon of choice for eliminating those pesky demons.David Williams, Producer/Writer describes CLERIC as follows:
"The backstory of Cleric is that 500 years in the past something happened.
No one is sure what and most don't even know it happened. Possibly an alien
invasion or a global war or a meteor strike or a time shift or dimensional rift
or...something. The world has become a mash-up of steampunkian cities and
industrial wastelands, of a genetically pure elite protected from the
proletariat and Heretics by the psychic Clerics. It is a place where alien
technology has been used to modify old human technology to create strange,
powerful and usually dangerous hybrid weapons. For example - a blunderbuss pulse
revolver or plasma chainsaw."
The Cleric is a fusion of an airsoft double barrel shaogun, and a Nerf Maverick plus some other odds and ends from around the lab. Yes, I swore never to do a modification of a Nerf Gun, but our clients budget was tight and they needed a prop that could hold 6 glowing energy cartridges in it's chamber, while looking Steampunk-ish. Very little of the original Nerf Gun remains. The chamber is now rear facing and and can spin and swing all the way out. This proved to be more challenging then one would think. As it is "just a toy", it has some very complicated innards! Trust me... Open one up, you'll see.
The CLERIC gun has a working laser sight, spinning gears affected by movement, and the removable bullets glow a deep blue inside the chamber which you can see through the little portals. She's allot heavier than it's original form but very sturdy. I'm happy how close it came to my original design that you can also see above. Both this prop and the Vampyr Blood Transfusion Device will be featured in this film, as well as some of the props we built for Fable: Teeth of Beasts.

Freaken Cool!
Thanks Man! Too bad I couldn't squeeze it into the show. It put me behind a bit but I really enjoyed making it.
Thats what it's all about, right?

This is simply drool worthy!
Staring at my two nerf mavericks on my desk awaiting transmogrification into something more steampunk-ish, this has opened my eyes to a new avenue I'd not yet considered...flintlocks!
Simply beautiful, my good Doctor!
I'm curious as to the good doctor's methods with the bullets. I want to do something similar for a shotgun, and I wanted to try making glowing slugs.
Nick - E-Mail me at DrGrymm@DrGrymmLaboratories.net and I'll explain the process.
