Planet Hollywood Las Vegas: X-Men 3 'Cure' rifle

[GBFan57]

So me and a few friends decided to hit Vegas this summer, and got a really good deal to stay at the Planet Hollywood Caisno. Due to their giving our reserved rooms away, we ended up getting a Panorama suite. The suite had a Brett Ratner theme, and had props from several of him movies, mostly Rush Hour and Red Dragon. In the Center of the room, in a glass table, I noticed something familiar:

The plastic "Cure" rifle from X-Men: The Last Stand

So I figured I'd take some pics for those interetsted.

(flipped from being upside down)

It was underneath some kind of metal table that I'm guessing prevents people from taking off the glass, so I couldn't get close pics of the stock.

Nice pics - thanks for sharing.

Judging from the paintjob & trigger area, that's a background or stunt rifle. Rick has a nice shot comparing the a background one to a hero.

Always wanted one of these.

I wonder what the thought process was behind painting the gun like a starship? Looks kinda dumb.....

Rick is a member here. He did a fantastic run of replica weapons that he made for the film a while back

Grip and pistol frame looks to be from a spyder paintball gun.

It looks like they were trying to simulate some kind of digital camouflage pattern.

The pistol looks to me like they used a shotgun either as a base, or inspiration.
