Home-made glowstick blaster looks like it’s firing laser bolts

Here’s one of the coolest – and on the face of it, one of the most obvious – ideas for a while. A custom built Star Wars blaster that fires glowsticks, which in the right conditions looks like blaster bolts, as highlighted by io9.

As with all of Sprave’s creations, his replica of Rey’s blaster is a completely custom build, which means it’s not available for sale. But in the video, he does go into the details of its construction, and since most cosplayers prefer to build their own props to ensure the utmost accuracy, all you need is basic woodworking skills—and access to some beefy elastics—to recreate this one yourself.
