Dueling Stun Guns Art Project for all your Negotiation Needs

I was at the arms and armour room at the Art Institute of Chicago a couple years back and I was fascinated by the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into making some of the weapons and gear. I thought it would be cool to modernize some of them, or at least experiment with what would happen if modern product design and materials was applied to these objects.

This is the outside view– it has back glass (acrylic, actually) from a pinball game, and it lights up.
This is the stun gun in action– notice the electric arc!

I made the stun guns from actual tasers I got at the mall (they’re the sparky kind, not the shoot-wires-into-your-face kind) and some disc-shooter rayguns from the toy store. The case itself is a modified DJ gear case, with the back glass from a pinball game added to the front. It has a bunch of LED lights behind it with a diffuser so you can make it light up when in use.
