Pics of my new toy (the most hated pistol on earth)

Funny; that flying disc gun (which is just a repackaging of a 1950s toy) always looked to me like the result of an incestuous one night stand between a Broomhandle Mauser and a Walther PP. But I will concede that the phase pistols used on Enterprise do bear a passing resemblence to the Hi-Point, especially with the magazine out.

And somewhat related: Am I the only one who's noticed that the Buck Rogers ray gun from the old 1930s serial starring Buster Crabbe looks like a gussied-up Broomhandle Mauser? Heck, I can make the argument that Han Solo's blaster is a direct descendent of the Buck Rogers pistol!

Beauty is in the eye of the shooter. I don't have one but I don't think they're ugly. I'm one of those guys that is always in trouble with the ladies saying most newborn babies are ugly. They look like ET most of the time to me. My daughter did! Doesn't now though. Maybe if you shoot this one enough it will get better looking! Sometimes things just have to age a little. I know if CGO is around she'll hammer me!

Who cares if other people hate them. There lifetime warranty is transferable, and if you like it, it's a great gun, period.
