Nerf Mavericks, Cool design for sci fi guns.
This is kind of interesting, here in the states lots of nerds are going crazy over modding out Nerf Mavericks. I think these could make some crazy-a** sci fi weapons. They are also cheap at 8 dollars a pop.
That's me holding 2 of the guns.
So I tore one of them apart (got to keep one to play with).
Lots of little parts
And then sprayed down a primer.
I sprayed a light coating of a metallic texture spray paint. I then used some silver model paint to simulate a scratched up gun, just painting mainly on the edges, and wear there would be normal wear and tear, as well as painting in the screws.
And finally here is the finished product.
I'm pretty sure you could combine several of these guns together in creative ways to invent your own sci fi weapons. Just saw and glue them together.

I used 2 coats of black spray paint primer on it. I sprayed on a light coating of the Rustoleum black metallic. After it dried I just used silver model paint to paint on all of the stress on the black parts, and the silver parts. I'm sure if I handle it a lot the paint won't hold up, it was pretty sticky when I first finished it, but now that it has been a day it is less sticky. I hear people are having better results using a vinyl die, which you can get in a spray can from like an auto store. It would be interesting to try that.

I have to seriously refrain from shooting my housemate's little dogs. It's seriously hard. The only thing stopping me is to find the right time to do it, when she isn't around! *evil grin*
I kind of want to try taking a few guns, hackin' em up with saws, and seeing how I can put them back together for awesomeness.
