picture info	Space Gun A space gun, sometimes called a Verne gun because of its appearance in ''From the Earth to the Moon'' by Jules Verne, is a method of launching an object into space using a large gun- or cannon-like structure. Space guns could thus potentially provide a method of non-rocket spacelaunch. It has been conjectured that space guns could place satellites into Earth's orbit (although after-launch propulsion of the satellite would be necessary to achieve a stable orbit), and could also launch spacecraft beyond Earth's gravitational pull and into other parts of the Solar System by exceeding Earth's escape velocity of about . However, these speeds are too far into the hypersonic range for most practical propulsion systems and also would cause most objects to burn up due to aerodynamic heating or be torn apart by aerodynamic drag. Therefore, a more likely future use of space guns would be to launch objects into Low Earth orbit, at which point attached rockets could be fired or the objects ...

	Space Gun (video Game) is a 1990 first-person shooter arcade game released by Taito. The game is set aboard a crippled space station that has been overrun by hostile alien creatures. The objective is to rescue human crew members while destroying the alien creatures. The game lets the player shoot limbs off the creatures, resulting in blood splatters. In 1992 home ports were released for the Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, ZX Spectrum, and Master System. It was one of the few games for the Atari ST and Amiga to support a light gun. Gameplay ''Space Gun'' is an arcade rail shooter in which the player views the on-screen action from a first person perspective. Players use a cabinet-mounted light gun to target and shoot enemy aliens that have invaded a research vessel and abducted its crew. Enemies are either mechanical guns that descend from above the screen or aliens, several of which can only be defeated by first shooting away their limbs. The player must save human hostages from the creatu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Ljutic Space Gun The Ljutic Space Gun is a 12 gauge single-shot shotgun intended for trap shooting. Originally designed in 1955, the firearm has since been discontinued. History With his father, Al Ljutic ran the Ljutic Gun Company (Now Ljutic Industries) in the vicinity of Fresno, California. In 1955, AA Reil, a friend and Remington field rep, invited Al to go trap shooting the day after. Al realized after that he didn't own a trap gun. Instead of buying one, Al designed and built one by the end of the day. This became the template for the Ljutic Space Gun. Only about 200 of the shotgun variant were made, making the firearm run anywhere from $2,500 to $3,000 on the secondary market (2013). However the weapon was also offered in single-shot rifle variants, using a 24-inch barrel, which began being produced in 1981. These were chambered in .22-250, .30/30 Win, .308 Win, and 30.06 calibers. With less than 20,000 total shotgun and rifle variants being made. Variants * 12 Gauge * .22-250 * ...

picture info	Raygun A raygun is a science-fiction directed-energy weapon usually with destructive effect.Jeff Prucher, '' Brave New Words: The Oxford Dictionary of Science Fiction,'' Oxford University Press, 2007, page 162 They have various names: ray gun, death ray, beam gun, blaster, laser gun, laser pistol, phaser, zap gun, etc. In most stories a raygun emits a ray usually lethal if it hits a human target, often destructive if it hits mechanical objects, with properties and other effects unspecified or varying. Real-world analogues are directed-energy weapons or electrolasers: electroshock weapons which send current along an electrically conductive laser-induced plasma channel. History A very early example of a raygun is the Heat-Ray featured in H. G. Wells' novel '' The War of the Worlds'' (1898).Van Riper, op. cit., p. 46. Science fiction during the 1920s described death rays. Early science fiction often described or depicted raygun beams making bright light and loud noise like ligh ...

	TP-82 The TP-82 () is an out-of-service triple-barreled Soviet combination gun carried by cosmonauts on space missions. It was intended as a survival aid to be used after landings and before recovery in the Siberian wilderness. Features The TP-82 can be used for hunting, to defend against predators, and for creating visible and/or audible distress signals. The detachable buttstock also functions as a machete and is equipped with a canvas sheath. The upper two side-by-side shotgun barrels use special 12.5×70mm ammunition (40 gauge), and the lower single rifled barrel uses 5.45×39mm ammunition developed for the AK-74 assault rifle. The TP-82 has a large lever on the left side of the receiver that opens the action, and a small grip safety under the trigger guard that resembles a secondary trigger. According to NASA astronauts, the gun is very accurate out to about . History The TP-82 was the result of cosmonaut Alexei Leonov's concerns after being stranded in the Siberian wildern ...
