The white version is first seen as a testing prototype in the Brazilian courtyard by one of Q's team. At the space shoot out at the film's climax, laser weapons are used by the US Marines - both as hand held weapons and mounted onto their spacewalk apparatus - and by Drax's guard. The original props were polyurethane and rubber with no moving parts. They were specially constructed for the film by the prop department, and a large quantity of different props were produced. The main body was constructed around a casting taken from a toy gun. Various real-world parts, including plumbing supplies, were added to complete the fantasy look. After appearing in \u003cem\u003eMoonraker\u003c\/em\u003e the gun was used in the computer game GoldenEye 007 in 1997.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails.\u003c\/strong\u003e The prop replica was created after careful study of the original props in the EON Productions archives, as well as reference photographs and original production drawings and blueprints.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe replica features an ultra-bright blue LED light effect, activated by a concealed button.

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 poly resin and an internal support frame have been employed on the replica to give it more strength than the original. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach replica includes a certificate of authenticity booklet, a display stand and an individually numbered metal plaque.
