I built my own interpretation of this for a LARP game last year and due to the outdoor nature of the event didnt want to use glass either.
hopefully there will be some shots this weekend from SDCC of the QMX one.
Metallic silver tube with cone shaped tip.
Looked kind stubby.
If there is one prop from the show I would like to have a replica of it is this gun! Looks so retro an sweet looking.
In the preview for next weeks crossover episode looks like the pointy gun shows up as well as a LIGHT SABER.
Are the electronics in any way functional?
Actually yes in certain ways. We use a IR based lasertag system so the gun 'fires' an IR beam. There is a microcontroller in the rear that produces the correct IR signals but it also has a charging period between shots and controls multiple blue leds in the main tube and also in the inner centre tube when it fires. Theres also the circuit from a C/O Masters Laser Screwdriver in there thats triggered when the gun fires too.
Its all powered by a lithium ion battery inside the grip which is easy to change out.
That's pretty cool. It evens looks good. Is the wooden grip an available piece or something you made?
The 2nd season versions definitely look like something other than glass. Doesn't have the same look..
there it is!!!
Cool....Looks like a pneumatic screwdriver gun...Or Glue gun
Keep the energy flowing on this....
