I'd use a mold material with a soft drometer rating because you have to open the mold to get the finished piece out. Possibly a 30 rating. The top cap I'd use a harder material (I'd use a 90 for this) as you have to pull the post portion out of where the spring goes and don't want it to tear as easy.
As to the plastic I'd try and match the material the orginals are made of (another use for the drometer) or make them out of rubber. That way when when the boys shoot each other with them it won't hurt as much. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Looking at the original piece from the picture you might have to go with plastic as it looks like the ring near the end is what is used to hold it on the spring shaft before being realised. Other option is send me the piece and I can make them for you |
