Product Information

With notable exceptions, American technology generally seemed to excel more with plastic than tin during this period, creating many remarkably beautiful plastic space gun designs like the Smoke Ring Gun by Nu-Age Products and the Planet Jet Gun by Renewal Manufacturing. Still, a few of the most significant and sophisticated American toy space guns of the time continued to be made of diecast metal. Perhaps the most notable is the famous Atomic Disintegrator by Hubley. One of the favorite part of my job is the wonder weapons, and I owe a lot to the Ray Gun,” Maxwell said, “It’s an amazing feeling; I feel emotionally tied to the Ray Gun, because it was made at a time of my career where I was very young and naïve, and to see it come to life alongside its longevity tied to the Zombies mode it just great. It’s a testament to all the designers and everyone who worked on Zombies, and I’m extremely happy and proud to see this happen.” Victor Rousseau , "The Messiah of the Cylinder", serialized in Everybody's Magazine, June–September 1917 ( ISFDB link).

Batteries not included. Gun requires three button cell batteries, Size AG13. Base requires two AA batteries. Visible barrel recoil. This would only happen if the momentum of the beam were comparable to that of a bullet shot from a gun. Some of the effects are what would be expected from a powerful directed-energy beam if it could be generated in reality:

( January 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Soon after the invention of lasers during 1960, such devices became briefly fashionable as a directed-energy weapon for science fiction stories. For instance, characters of the Lost in Space TV series (1965–1968) and of the Star Trek pilot episode " The Cage" (1964) carried handheld laser weapons. [7] In his book Physics of the Impossible, Michio Kaku used gamma ray bursts as an evidence to illustrate that extremely powerful rayguns such as the Death Star's primary weapon in the Star Wars franchise do not violate known physical laws and theories. He further analyses the problem of rayguns' power sources.

Toy "Space Pilot X Ray Gun" made by the Japanese Taiyo company in the early 1970s. When the trigger is pulled, the mechanism in the toy makes sounds and causes sparks to appear inside the transparent red cone on the front. The late 1950s and early 60s stands as the end of the great age of American toy space guns. By the mid to late 1960s, with the exception of toy space guns made in Europe, the production of space guns moved largely to Hong Kong and after that to China. A very early example of a raygun is the Heat-Ray featured in H. G. Wells' novel The War of the Worlds (1898). [2] Science fiction during the 1920s described death rays. Early science fiction often described or depicted raygun beams making bright light and loud noise like lightning or large electric arcs. Ray guns as described by science fiction do not have the disadvantages that have, so far, made directed-energy weapons largely impractical as weapons in real life, needing a suspension of disbelief by a technologically educated audience: The Garin Death Ray, title weapon in The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin (1927): "hyperboloid", a highly concentrated collimated light beam weapon

Ultimately, rayguns have whatever properties are required for their dramatic purpose. They bear little resemblance to real-world directed-energy weapons, even if they are given the names of existing technologies such as lasers, masers, or particle beams. [2] This can be compared with real-type firearms as commonly depicted by action movies, as tending infallibly to hit whatever they are aimed at (when wielded by the heroes) and seldom depleting their ammunition. [8] Rayguns by their various names have various sizes and forms: pistol-like; two-handed (often called a rifle); mounted on a vehicle; artillery-sized mounted on a spaceship or space base or asteroid or planet.
