This picture couldn’t be more 1950s if it tried.

Glorious!

It would be more 1950s if it wasn't taken in 2007.

Had the one that had sparks in the barrel when you pulled the trigger.

It somehow reminds me of the jetsons.

More specific Elroy Jetson with his ray stunner

I was born in 1949 and I had a gun sort of like that, but it was more black and red, as I recall.

Well, what the hell are you going to do if the Martians suck you in to their underground tunnels? The last thing you want is to be ray gun less.

So is delusion. These ray guns were made because of sci-fi movies in the 40s and 50s. You didn’t have to make a ray gun to make kids like guns because you could very easily own a BB gun and many kids that age during that time. also had shotguns. This piddly ass little plastic toy ray gun designed after a sci-fi movie is just that. You are either too young to know what it was all about or too ignorant to figure it out.

Dude I grew up in the 50s I don’t have to go back and look at anything I was there. Funny, my brother and I both had shotguns and we both had BB guns. Do you wanna know another funny thing? We didn’t shoot anybody. We didn’t aim at anything except the intended targets. Schools and shoot up people. We didn’t go into banks and rob them. we didn’t hold them up to peoples heads and steal their car. We didn’t get our asses bent out of shape when people corrected us and run home and get our guns and put a bullet through their head. Do you wanna know why we didn’t do any of that? Because we weren’t dumb shits, who didn’t have any control over ourselves and understood the consequences of that type of behavior. Just because there are so many mentally ill, mentally unstable, full-time, asshole thugs, who want to be glorified by using a gun, the way it is not meant to be used Does not mean that the rest of us don’t know how to use them correctly.
