This is from a very lesser known work of Gene Roddenberry. You almost never see it on TV (but you can find it on the internet if you know where to look) and few sites even mention it, with the exception of the fine site below. It was meant to launch a new TV series but never took off. :unsure
It's a big childhood favorite of mine, I loved the stims and would play with a stick poking my little sister and making the BUZZ noise :lol.
Well here is my work in progress on making a paxer gun from Genesis II. Pretty much just took a block of wood and sized the photo from the site below and printed it, glued it to the wood and started cutting. Still needs work but I'm happy so far (and that's what this hobby is about for me). Didn't want to use the photo without permission so here is a link to it.

Synopsis
Genesis II
On February 14, 1979, Dylan Hunt is appointed by NASA to guide research in the "Ganymede Project," which was for the development of suspended animation for long duration space flights. Dylan Hunt volunteered for the first human testing which was conducted in a NASA research center housed inside a grotto, deep inside Carlsbad Caverns. It was not known that a geologic fault existed over the area, and was completely sealed off during a massive earthquake. Dylan Hunt, who had been placed in suspended animation inside the Xenon pressure chamber remained undisturbed for more than 154 years.
2133 A.D.
Members of a benevolent group of scientists, known as PAX, excavated the NASA research center and rescued Dylan Hunt, who had only aged one day for every 10 years in suspension. Dylan Hunt was aided in his recovery by a human mutant named Lyra-a. Lyra-a deceived Dylan Hunt over the purpose of PAX, and convinced him to travel with her to her city, Tyrania, in the hope that he could repair their failing nuclear reactor. During his visit to Tyrania, Dylan discovers that he has been deceived by Lyra-a, and that the city condones brutal slavery. Working with a PAX team which had infiltrated the city, Dylan Hunt leads a successful revolt of the slaves. During their escape from the city, Dylan Hunt and the PAX team are captured by Lyra-a and company. Dylan makes a deal with Lyra-a stating that he would repair the nuclear reactor if the PAX team could go free. Dylan Hunt discovers that the Tyranians are planning on using the reactor to power a nuclear missile silo, so that they can destroy PAX. Dylan sabotaged the silo and caused the bomb to detonate, thus eliminating the threat to PAX. At his return, Primus Kimbridge, leader of PAX, confronts Dylan Hunt with PAX's pacifist beliefs and challenges Dylan Hunt to join them.
