I’m betting that the companies who made these bottles never had Fallout blasters in mind when they made their containers 😉 But they work great!

The larger bottle is an old deodorant bottle that a family member saved for me because they knew I like oddly shaped bottles. I actually don’t think that type of deodorant is made anymore due to health issues, but you can often find shampoo and similar things in bottles shaped like that as well.

The smaller bottle was a Mio bottle that another family member saved for me because again, they knew I liked weird containers. (It pays to enlist the help of family and friends in saving useful future items). And together the containers fit perfectly.

And if you’re in need of a pip-boy to go with your DIY Fallout alien blaster, you can check out my easy pip-boy tutorial here. You’ll be ready to emerge from the vault in no time!

If you’re not a fan of the Fallout video game, this blaster could also double as an alien ray gun, because it looks just like a classic blaster from a 1950’s sci-fi movie. (Any fellow corny sci-fi fans out there?)
