Featuring "realistic space sound" and "3 function actuator," this stun gun toy from Space:1999 (via Remco) was actually little more than a flashlight, I suppose you could say. But when you de-pressed the trigger (located above the handle), you could "fire" a "lazer beam," "project a light target" on a wall (like an Eagle, for instance...) or enjoy the "sequential color lights."
If memory serves, Remco also produced a Star Trek phaser very much like this toy, with similar light and sound effects, and the same capability to project images on the wall. I'm pretty sure I had that one too, though I no longer own one today.
Recommended for children over five, the Remco stun gun operated on 2 "C" batteries, and proved a critical part of many interplanetary adventures...in my own backyard, of course.
I have one of these, it's not a bad replica for a toy, the scale is ok, and the box art is lovely. The rosharch style seemingly random shapes it noisily projects are another story, the arrangement of shadowy blobs that is supposed to be an eagle is particularly baffling.
