Quick Tip #1 - Drilling Out Gun Barrels

Drilling out gun barrels is necessary. It's a necessity. It's a necessary-necessity of coolness.

"But, can't I just paint black dots?"

No, you may not! Nobody ever shot a bullet out of a black dot...and neither will you.

The big hassle with drilling gun barrels is getting them centered. If the holes aren't centered, the Oooo-you-drilled-out-all-your-gun-barrels effect is totally lost. Wall-eyed guns are not cool.

Step 1: Using a hobby knife, put small notch in the center of the barrel.







Step 2: Use the notch as a guide for your drill bit.







Voila, it's done:







Now, it might take a few practice runs to get it right. So, in case you get all frustrated and feel like retreating back to the lame-o black dots:

Order of Coolness

1. Centered, drilled barrels
2. Imperfectly centered drilled barrels
3. Engraving "Tau-rrific" on the barrel
4. Putting an ork in a pink tutu
5. Black dots
