Some industrious soul is selling an all-metal Alliance pistol replica complete with light-up grip on eBay. Judging from the pics, a lot of work went into this baby. UPDATE: Apparently it was real-looking enough that eBay killed it. It’s been reposted.
It is all metal except for rubber grips, and is aprox 11 1/2″ in length . The gun is a ‘one of’ and was custom built by a prop maker. It has a working trigger that activates the blue electroluminecent light in the grip, just as the one in the film does. This is seen near the beginning of the film when Simon helps River escape from Alliance custody. The guard that chases them into the airshaft fires this gun several times at the bullet proof glass and then pounds on it in a vain effort to prevent their escape. It requires 2 AAA batterys (included). This gun is intended as a display piece and or light handling, and is NOT suitable for cosplay or holster use. For that you would want a less expensive resin cast. Photos are of actual gun offered. The only one I have. Shiney!
As always, use your best judgment when buying from eBay.
we hope that the firefly continue flying … we are with you!
