[Kylash]

Ive been trying to get some good shots of this gun from some DVD's i got from a Dollar Store, but I havent been able to get anything of the handle or end of the barrell, so i thought id see if anyone here has any reference or a replica, this thing looks beautiful but I cant see it all!

Ive seen this before, isnt it a off the shelf vintage raygun? I might be wrong tho. Sorry I cant be more help Kylash

 

[Kylash]

i checkout toy rayguns on ebay one or 2 times a week and ive never seen anything like it =\

 

[Kylash]

What is the writing on the back?

Sorry I have not seen that one before.

 

[MisserCraig]

What is the writing on the back?

It looks like it has stun and neutralize settings.

 

[Funky]

Aren't stun and neutralize the same thing?

:lol

 

[Robot Monster]

I know it's not it but it's the closest I have come across. I have found that lots of people on the net seem to have raygun sites. Might be worth it for you to put the photo up on them.

One reason these maybe hard to find is this show was shot in East Germany.

There is a great time travel story where our heros travel back to 1954 to stop a bomb and they film in present day Berlin, with some left over war damage.

The guy who play Flash moved to (Back?) to the USA and have a part as a extra pushing the Blaster Cannon back and forth in Forbidden Planet.

Watch the gus standing next to the cannons in the big fight scene, you can see them grunt as the push and pull the cannons back and forth, he is on one in the back ground.

yup, great episode with the bomb hidden back in time I like how they just sat there on earth watching the clock waiting for Flash to save the day :lol

 

[racprops]

And there is so much worry they will not make it in time…
The bomb takes 1000 years to blow up, so even if it started, they could calmly pick it up and carry it back to the Sky Flash and drop it off into the sun…
Poor writing.
Stun setting froze them in place…not knockout.
Barber Chairs, and lots of thingies on control panel…
Take offs were fun and they had the ships speed nice, it really hopped.
Another 50s TV show is Rocky Jones, Space Ranger.

Yeah, ive seen a few episodes of Rocky Jones, I prefer Flash though. Oh man, i cant believe those chairs they used in the rockets "Alright everyone go get buckled in" and they go sit in a lounger that reclines back and has a buckle, they werent even lined up, just plaved around randomly, not bolted to the floor obviously Great stuff....

Well as far as the gun, I guess the reference I got is all there is... i might have to give this a try.
