UNIVERSE GUN 19605

SPACE-TH~MEO GUNS WERE POPULAR PLAY ACCESSORII?S IN THE MID-TWENTIETH CENTURY. ALMOST EVERY SCIENCE-FICTION RADIO AND TELEVISION SERIAL FEATURED INTERPLANETARY EXPLORERS WHO RELIED ON A VARIETY OF IMAGINATIVE RAY GUNS, BLASTERS, AND DISINTeGRATORS IN THEIR 8ATILES WITH EXTRATERRESTRIAL ADVER­ SARIES . TIN-STAMPED "SPARKING" GUNS WITH FLINT-AND-WHEEL MECHANISMS WERE CREATED FROM RECYCLED SCRAP METAL AND DECORATED WITH IMAGINATIVE LITHOGRAPHY BY COMPETITIVE TOY MANUFACTURERS IN JAPAN. NU-~GE PRODUCTS OF BEVERLY HILLS CREATED A STYLISH, MECHANICAL SMOKE RING GUN THAT ALLOWED CHILDREN TO DROP PELLETS INTO THE GUN'S NOSE AND FIRE SLOW-MOVING "RAYS" OF SMOKE AT THEIR ADVERSARIES.
