 Introducing the K-Dub X 7 flashlight and taser in one. My dad was inspired by my dads insane collection of slick black tactical gear including machine guns, flashlights, and knifes. I had the idea to give it a unique tactical carbon fiber look with polished steel grips and spikes with a luminous red LED light inside. This weapon can be used one of several ways. It has side spikes and front spikes for stabbing, high powered LED light for stunning an enemy, and a 500,000 watt stun gun that runs electricity through the front end spikes.

 I started with two cylinders which I overlapped and did a Boolean difference on to create my one inch hole to tightly fit my flashlight down into. Next I used F10 to pull together the end to securely hold the light in without it falling out and hit F11 to escape the command. The tunnels around the edge to create the grip were created using the pipe command and using 360 to make it spin around the center snap to make it complete. To spin it around, I used ArrayPollar which was commonly used in this entire piece. The spikes were the easiest once I set them and Arrayed it, but because I didn't center everything properly on 0,0 I had to mess with a lot of different objects.

The spikes are just extruded pyramid shapes that I did a array polar on to perfectly make 4 symmetrical spike,m in two rows, at a 360 degree multiply to create all 8 on the side and same for the front, just with a few more smaller spikes. This project was really interesting because with the castle, it was all rectangles for the most part, and this whole project consisted of mainly cylinders. I really enjoyed it and glad I got to learn how to design this tactical self defense killing machine.
