DIY Mandalorian Rifle Cheap Build (cardboard) - Star Wars Amban Pulse Rifle

A little cardboard, some paint, and a bit of craft foam can get you a cheap DIY Mandalorian rifle. Had requests for this from Noah, Joshua, The Madndo, TheGarlandLogs, Trick Brick Films and Lucas. Din Djarin's pulse rifle is one of the biggest guns I've ever made, but it's a lot of fun. Being almost entirely cardboard, it's perfect for any budget, and assuming the cardboard is recycled, ecofriendly too. I did create a free template you can use if you don't want to draw the pieces freehand. I don't actually know the exact dimensions of the gun, as I tend to just do everything by eye, so if you think it's off, you can make adjustments to yours accordingly.

MATERIALS USED:
Cardboard
Packing paper
Scrap paper
Pencil
Scissors
Utility knife
Hot Glue Gun
Paint brush
5 mm craft foam
Black and brown paint
14 thumbtacks
4 metal photo corners
6 eye and hook loops, or some other random junk

*** The materials listed above are the products I actually used for this project. I find that people often want to know exactly what I use, so I've started including exact links when I can find them. However, it's simply meant as a guide and you can substitute with whatever comparable brands/products you might have available in your own area. Also some of the links may be affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission from the company if a sale is made. It doesn't cost you any extra; it's just a simple way to help support my work on this channel. (I just figured, hey, as long as I was posting the links anyway, I might as well make them affiliate links)

This is an awesome video. I really love this channel. You have done a great job of demystifying the process of sewing for me and inspired me to get started. Thank you!

I just recently found your channel from the Spider-Man cosplay tutorials. You make great, insightful vids but I think it's funny how you're still using the same old intro and outro guitar loop. Lol, keep up the good work.

Great tutorial, one thing I don't see on the templates is how long are the barrels and smaller rolls of paper, as well what is the length of the scope. I am trying to make this for my sons birthday.

[aebsy]

is there anywhere I could get templates? (looks great btw)

[TrickBrickFilms]

Can you make a captain rex or commander cody costume from the clone wars?

[smickforcosplay]

That’s sick!! Too bad the stock isn’t rounded like the one from the show, I’ll definitely be taking inspiration from this video for my own pulse rifle. This is great!

[ObiBearKenobi]

I went to find the template in your valt but I could not find the pattern

[cornbreadfedkirkpatrick]

It's not hoarding, it's collecting. well that's my excuse

[fabianceja]

My mind I'm going to make it me end up not doing it
