Soda Can Blaster: A Weapon from Grabbed by the Ghoulies

Well this is a weapon that i've done since this afternoon. I got this Xbox game called Grabbed by the Ghoulies made by Rare. It was quite a fun game when I finished playing it. My favourite weapon was the soda can blaster. So I decided to remake the weapon. Re-modelled and the soda cans skinned done by me. Here are pics of the original weapon, max renders and an ingame pic...

Thanks alot for all those comments guys. I've already made a little map called Ghoulhaven Hall. It is just the grand hall room for you guys to battle on with the soda can blaster and all. The problem is I can't start the radiosity. Better be patient guys.

you knoe i jus wan to say this
The formula for Black Powder is 75% Potassium Nitrate, 15% Charcoal, and 10% Sulfur, and like all formulas, it is measured by weight only.

However, unlike many pyrotechnic formulas, you just can't mix these chemicals together and expect to have Black Powder. The mixing process for Black Powder is just as important as the formula. Black Powder MUST be made in a Ball Mill to work properly.
A Ball Mill is a rotating drum with dozens of lead balls inside. The 3 chemicals are loaded into the Ball Mill, along with the lead balls, sealed shut and allowed to rotate for anywhere between 1 hour and 24 hours. As the Ball Mill rotates, the lead balls will crush the chemicals together, forcing some of the Potassium Nitrate into the pores of the Charcoal and Sulfur. At the same time, the entire mass will be reduced to a super fine powder. The longer the Ball Mill runs, the stronger the Black Powder will be. A general rule of thumb for all pyrotechnic mixtures is " the finer the powder is, the faster it will burn ".
ONLY lead balls can be used in a Ball Mill as they are completely non-sparking. ONLY Black Powder can be mixed in a Ball Mill. Other pyrotechnic mixtures such as Flash Powder, etc. CAN NOT, as they are too sensitive and will explode. Individual chemicals however, can also be Ball Milled into a fine powder, but the mill must be cleaned before this is done.
