Cathode Ray Gun

Latest in my series of found item ray guns. Built from a air tool, a bunch of old radio tubes and various discarded parts from disassembled power tools.

This gun was a particle acceleration weapon from the late 1940s. While its power is impressive, the gun itself is a bad combination of heavy and delicate. And the technology behind it was buggy at best. You definitely didn't want to be standing in a puddle when you fired one of these.

Heh. I like the industrial look (yes....my tastes run more diesel punk than steam punk these days).

I still find the look of exposed tubes awkward...even on boutique amps. But that might just be me.
