Dang thats REALLY a blast from the past, I remember these guns although mine weren't star trek. This was one toy gun that actually worked really well. Those things stung if you were to close to the shooter.
^This is a Star Trek gun ?!? I gave mine to my kids - they play with it everyday (and the cat play hockey with the disks!)
possible bootleg star trek gun? if it isnt, maybe its made from the epi where kirk and the crew are in that dimension that was like planet earth. (the planet earth gangster episode..)
Because he's done with the topic and everyone has made it clear they don't want this topic on SB. Or use a small, sharp rock to scrape one at a time until you were able to get the strip to catch fire. These were by far the best toy gun! I got one somehow (traded for it I think) but had to keep it hidden from my mom. Mine was a metallic olive green. Some older kid tried to trade me Cringer/Battlecat for it...I was like "are you CRAZY!?!".
I used to stack wads of newspaper over the roll of caps and come down on it with a rock. I was pretty proud of my little fires back in the day.
Also curious to know if that disc gun is a boot, because as I recall the original toy had a photo of Kirk and Spock on the card, and was called "phaser" as in the show. There was an alternate version called "phaser saucer gun" that shot larger twirling discs that had less of a chance of putting your younger sibling's eye out. Also another one which was basically a hand-held projector made to look like a gun. It projected blurry images of the Enterprise and enemy spaceships. I remember when the original disc-shooter phaser was banned for being too dangerous. Hah ... it was! Those little plastic discs had rough edges and the gun was fairly forceful.
I have no idea if that blue one is a boot or not. The one's we had were boots & looked exactly like the one below. Dean I remember Remco made some phasers, one looked just like the phasers on the show except it shot these spinning fan looking things off the end. Also I know they made a gun that looks exactly like the disc guns but it shot yellow rubber bb's but I have no idea who made it. @ Kirkland, you sound like my brothers him & his friends did the same thing in Jr high except they attached velcro to the gun & on the inside of their jackets.
Where my comment about toy guns in schools comes (excerpt from Seattle Times) : "The Seattle School District's zero-tolerance weapons policy even extends to that 11-inch-tall warrior, G.I. Joe. Just ask 10-year-old Jeffrey Parks, who was expelled from John Rogers Elementary School on Monday after he took the action figure's handgun to school. The molded plastic pistol is about an inch long." (After a media fire storm, they reduced his 'sentence' to a 1 yr probation)
I have much to say on this subject and on the wealth of life experience that certain college boys obviously draw from - but rather than start it up again, I'll just say that the only trigger I EVER want to pull Andy - is the trigger of your - baddababaddaba - LoooovvveeGuuuunnnnnnnn!!!!!
