The Lasiter on Sliders?

[Sulla]

Just caught this while binge-watching Sliders. Season 4 Episode18, "Mother and Child", 1998. Hope I am not retreading ground here, but wanted to share.

That blaster is way cool! I wonder who built it.

Well I'll be damned. If it aint it, then the lassiter was sure copied off it. Any more screen grabs? Looks like the only difference is the finger/nuckle covers.

It was around even before that. It was used in the 1994 episode "Abilon" of "Seaquest DSV".

The prop belongs to a Hollywood rental company. It was dirtied up for Firefly then returned and restored to the condition seen above. At some point it was stolen and sold to a well known prop collector (who was unaware of the theft). When the collector put the prop up for auction with Profiles some time later, the original rental company were alerted. The auction was pulled, and the prop returned to the owners. Quite a legendary piece!
