how to modify live axle wheels to make them dead

No need to make your own; per an earlier post:

BTW, strictly speaking: You're modifying dead-axle wheels to make them live-axle, not (as the title says) live-axle wheels to make them dead-axle. The procedure to do the latter involves a drill bit and bearings and possibly shims to help hold the bearing in.

If you shoot it with a gun, will it be dead then?

It was never alive.

Thanks everyone for the input. Our wheels ARE alive, though. And hungry.
