I am sure that the buyer knows that it doesn't work.

Bullpup style before it was trendy.

But he didn't have this weapon until stardate 41153.7.

Pfft, shows how pathetic of a nerd you are, it was actually stardate 1312.4.

Some sort of Pawn Stars joke, right? Lemme get someone over, Shatner comes in store, tight market I'll give you five grand right now.

a picture showing it in use would have been nice

buckler		2013-04-07 03:09:14 PM

Why a stock? I assume the thing would have no recoil.

Still nice to brace for aiming. Mind you, today, we'd expect a future-weapon to require no aiming.

I'm surprised Kirk would ever be caught dead with one of those dinky phasers after wielding that thing. Look at how she's admiring the size of it!

It wasn't anywhere near the same model.

Isn't the Type III Phaser rifle just a handheld milkshake Blender and some other crap all shoved together?

Kirk's Phaser Can Only Fire Green Slime. My high school biology taught me that.

Yes, but did you look up what happened on 41153.7? The real nerds recognized the date from memory, not alpha.

I was able to get it without looking it up, but only because I know how the Stardate conversion and had a pretty good guess what episode would have happened around that time. I may be a nerd, but I haven't yet memorized what stardate all the episodes occur on.

Dangit! That's the photo I was looking for, but gave up after a quickie search.

The Type II phaser pistol is just a Type I keychain phaser with some crap.

The Gorn Cannon was so effective, Kirk actually preferred it to his lightsaber.

Mugato		2013-04-07 08:08:48 PM

That's a fruity looking gun.

Now that I would pay $231,000 for.

TheMysteriousStranger		2013-04-07 08:35:17 PM

I am sure that a functional phaser rifle would sell for considerably more money.

The hardest part of making that yourself would be getting the Tommy Gun. The Rem 870 is so common they are used as doorstops in the south.

Well, it does work, but its only effect is making the intended victim sound and...delay...like...william shatner. It's use is heavily discouraged..

It is a highly-advanced technology.
