From the Manufacturer:

James Bond Moonraker Laser Gun 1:1 Scale Limited Edition Prop Replica: Made at the height of a global science-fiction craze in the late seventies, 1979's Moonraker is probably the most fantasy-laden Bond film. The film's plot deals with the genocidal plans of Hugo Drax. On the surface a hugely successful global business titan, Drax is, in truth, a madman bent on world domination. The laser prop is first seen being used by an MI6 operative disguised as a monk in a Brazilian field office. Many more of them are later seen during the climatic final battle sequence, both as hand held weapons and mounted onto US Marines' space walk apparatus. The original props were resin and rubber with no moving parts. They were specially constructed for the film by the EON Productions prop department and a large number of them were crafted. The body was constructed around a casting taken from an ‘Uzi' machine gun. Various real world parts, including plumbing supplies, were then added to complete the fantasy look. All the detail on the original has been retained including some of the casting asymmetry on the handmade original, which would not have been visible on screen and a missing trigger. Triggers were deliberately omitted to allow actors wearing thick astronaut style gloves to use the props. This makes the replica visually indistinguishable from the original. However, a heavier weight polyresin and an internal support frame have been employed on the replica to give it more heft and strength than the original. Factory Entertainment presents each finely crafted Moonraker laser replica comes with a museum quality display stand, numbered limited edition plaque, COA and detailed prop story booklet. Each replica is also presented in a full color box designed to emulate the distinctive ‘Drax Enterprise Corp' shipping crates seen in the film. Limited to only 500 pieces worldwide.
