Supersonic Defender Gun and relatives


Brian..

Recommended Posts

Here's an interesting gun. We've mentioned it before but this advert from October 1957 clarifies how the gun was assembled and sold, and moves it back a year.

 

The gun has three distinct sections and was sold in three combinations:

The central main part on its own was sold as the  Atomic Hand Gun,

With an extended nozzle and sight it's the  Scorpion Hip Gun

With a long bazooka addition it's the Supersonic Defender Gun.

 

Is this the first modular space gun?

Nice find, Joe. I don't remember ever seeing this gun. Unless it is the original concept of a gun never produced. This bladder gun is from the same time period.
