Q: Your first challenge is to find a broken glue gun. You might ask your parents or an art teacher if there is a broken model that you can use as the frame for a toy you are making, but be sure you ask to use it first. To make this toy gun, you'll need: Glue gun Screwdriver Party snaps (optional) Paint (optional) Black electrical tape (optional) Glue (optional) But before you do, you should check to make sure it isn't plugged in and is cool to the touch. Once you know it is safe to take apart, use your screwdriver to take out the screws from the casing. If you have a battery powered hot glue gun, you should remove the batteries before attempting to unscrew it. Now that the screws are out, you shouldn't have much difficulty pulling the two plastic halves of the case apart, though you might meet with some resistance. If you have difficulty taking the casing apart, twist the casing slightly to pop it free. Then: Identify the trigger and loading mechanisms, which should be connected. The trigger, when pulled, will cause the loading mechanism to push glue sticks through the casing. Remove all the internal components except the trigger and loading mechanisms. Take off the metal nozzle at the front of the gun. Use your screwdriver to reinsert the screws into your casing and fasten it together again. Then, test the trigger by pressing down on it with your finger. You should be able to feel some resistance, which means that the trigger is still moving the loading device in the casing. If the trigger is loose and feels like it isn't engaging the loading mechanism, you'll need to make adjustments. Open the casing and check the connection between the trigger and loading mechanism. Repair any breaks between the two with tape. If it appears that the trigger and loading mechanism have been separated, you may have to reconnect the two with tape. You can give your toy gun a sight by gluing a bead on top of the front end of the barrel. You should also consider painting your gun a more authentic color, like black or gray, but feel free to use your imagination. There may be a gun in your favorite TV show or video game that you'd like to imitate. Use your paint to decorate your gun until you are satisfied with its appearance. A bang snap is a kind of novelty firework that, when thrown or stepped on produces a loud noise similar to the caps used in a cap gun. Create your sound effect by triggering the bang snap with the loading mechanism by: Placing a party snap inside the loading area. Pulling the trigger to engage the loading mechanism.
A: Gather the parts needed for your toy gun. Remove the screws from your old glue gun. Remove the insides of the glue gun. Put the casing back together and test the trigger. Add personal touches to your toy gun. Create a realistic sound effect with bang snaps.

Q: A locksmith or drilling. The locksmith will do the least (if any) damage but will probably cost the most. Drilling is inexpensive but is the most damaging. Drilling too far could render the lock set unserviceable. Choose a drill bit that will remove the metal from the lock cylinder ONLY. The lock cylinder is the portion of the lock that turns with the key - it is not the handle. Generally, most home locks can be drilled with a 1/4" drill bit. Remove the lock set and take to a hardware store to obtain repair parts (new lock cylinder and keys).
A:
If at anytime you are unable to open the lock as outlined above, there are only two other ways to open the lock. If drilling, the object will be to drill to a depth equal to the part of a key that would normally be inserted into a working lock. Once the bulk of the cylinder metal is removed, pry as much remaining metal of the cylinder and pins out so that the mechanism will turn to unlock.
