These prop guns, designed and hand-built by WETA Workshop master model maker David Tremont feature a unique design sensibility inspired by turn of the century science fiction.

Weta Originals Rayguns

Three designs are available (the Goliathon 83 Infinity Beam Projector , Manmelter 3600ZX Sub-Atomic Disintegrator Pistol and the FMOM Industries Wave Disrupter Gun) and each gun will be made in a limited series of only 500 each. They’re made from metal, glass and other materials, and each one weighs in at over 7 pounds, so they’re definitely not cheaply made.

Each raygun comes in a custom distressed, velvet lined tin case with a certificate of authenticity from the artist. Priced at over $600 each, these are for serious sci-fi collectors only.
