You have a couple of options here:

1) You can print the individual sheets out on a laser printer (tiled 
with overlap set to 0), and mount them on sheets of either Bristol 
board or thin masonite (both available at better art stores). Another 
mounting option, is to take the sheets to a "frame it yourself" 
place, and they can mount the sheets for you on foam-core board or 
either of the above mentioned materials (though you may have to 
supply it)

2) Larger print shops have Plotters that can handle oversized print 
jobs. Depending on the capabilities of their plotter and the size per 
piece you'd like to end up with, you should be able to come up with 
something that works. Using one of these beasts costs far more than 
the tiling option, but it's not THAT bad.

My personal preference is for plotters and mounting on masonite. 
However, make sure that you have something that you're happy with - 
and will be continuous to be happy with for some time. You only want 
to do this once.

If you're looking to economize the project, I'd suggest tiling and 
mounting it yourself on Bristol board or something comparable.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask questions if I've been unclear.

The name made me think of Phased Array Radar. If it truely doesn't
matter,
how about calling it the Kill-O-Zap Gun ;)
