Selmac electromagnetic machine gun

[Daniel]

Hi !

 

Here is a big machine gun.

 

Is this before or after WWII?

 

I believe Selmac is Spanish but the box is in French.

 

It has a barrel of bullets.

 

It was quite impressive for that time.

 

Thanks

It's a 1950s piece. There are a couple of other boxes, both Spanish, specifically Barcelona. The gun has great lines. It appears to use some sort of electromagnet to fire the plastic bullets. Does that hefty flex connect to the mains?

Nice!....Indeed ahead of it's time.

Rail Guns have been a topic of discussion for the last 20 years.

With plastic bullets it doesn't sound like a rail gun.  More like solenoid fired.

Plastic bullets, oh, didn't see that part.......Hey- cool toy, none the less....

It works off 110 mains voltage. That should take little Pedro's eye out.

They are not plastic bullets

Those look lethal, but there are versions of the gun that come plastic bullets. "Proyectiles de Plastico" This later example has a different design. 

 

This is quite a common toy in Spain and you can pick up a good example for about $30. Great value.
