Green zapping power !
 |
| Tomi gun, Shawnee Mfg. Inc. 1955, USA |
What happens when yout transform a Colt-like pistol into a raygun ? Something like this. Add some lightning, a water-squirt mechanism, a red plug and a round water tank at the top and voilá !
Very simple design, but definitely oozing 1950's space-age ! (thank you Brian :)
