MrRayGun Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Hey gang, Whilst cataloguing our inventory we finally got around to this enigmatic piece. Couldn't find it in the Drome, but admittedly can occasionally miss a listing. Checked Worthpoint and the other usual suspects but could not find any record of this thing. Anyone recognize this? MFG? Date? Aside from it's swirly paint scheme and rather industrially exotic features it's only physical mechanics are a spring trigger. No place to load water or insert caps. Curious....

Brian.. Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 There's something familiar about this gun and it may have been mentioned on the site before, but it's difficult to track down. No maker, no name, nothing to pin it down. I like your pictures, MrRayGun . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil R Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I have this gun and don't remember when I purchased it. It's only 4.5" Mine is more toward a warm gray. It that a photo change in yours? By spring trigger do you mean it squeaks but doesn't click? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, if you pull back the trigger it just bounces back. no CLICK. Also, would love to see a photo of you color variant if you’re up for it.

Tinman Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I have one of these but know nothing about it; I'm guessing from the design it dates to the 70s...it looks very Star Warsie to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil R Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Mine looks a lot like Tinman's in the vertical rectangle under the round area with the scope. I don't have all the color differences with the darks and orange red. I guess the gun was made with leftover colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fineas J. Whoopie Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I have seen this gun plenty of times. I assumed it was a clicker. Phil and Tinman - do yours click? I'm suprised that it's not in the database but as Brian says, not a lot to report. Mr Raygun - nice pictures, do you have a website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6Stelab9 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I may be wrong but it look to me to have a 90's design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 FJW...yes, mine clicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinplate6 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 All...yes, this is a clicker, and came in a wide range of colors; I have a blue one, but I have seen them in yellow, red and gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I've never seen clear plastic versions of this guns but two recently came available for a reasonable BIN price, although this version is a bit crude./ Both look to be from the same seller: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikidoc Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I have seen both the green and the blue on eBay the BIN were very reasonable as Tinman said,but, it seems to me the plastic must be brittle because both had the rear section of the scope broken off. Would this be a common occurance with this space gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I think these are something different. During the green gun auction I asked the seller about the broken scope and he provided a better picture that showed the scope was intact, just more crudely molded and not as prominent.

tikidoc Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Tinman, I asked the seller for more photos as well, it looked to me like the end was broken off, but, looking at all the photos in this thread made me think twice. As you said they may be something different. Even the triggers seem to differ a little from the violet one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
