Paul Allen is one of the world’s wealthiest people, and he has put some of his many billions to good use. He’s amassed an impressive collection of science-fiction film and TV artifacts, including this unspecified ray gun from the original Men In Black film . . .
Here are several more. Quick, without Googling the answer: which gun belonged to Sigourney Weaver and which was wielded by Bruce Willis? (Here’s a hint: the very bottom rifle isn’t the droid you’re looking for. It’s from the original Lost In Space.) I was surprised not to see Detective Deckard’s pistol from Blade Runner or at least one Imperial Storntrooper laser blaster in the collection, but Allen is too discriminating a collector to go in for anything that mainstream.

Who is Ray, and why are his guns so interesting?
He’s Tommy’s brother.
Are they related to BeBe?
Tommy actually gave me good advice on my car once too!
He was a president..Ronald Ray Gun.
I’m surprised to see that he’s missing the Barrett .50 cal anti-matter rifle*.
When one must absolutely, positively blow the moon out of the sky.
Just don’t fire it in the atmosphere.

Did I spy the Noisy Cricket in that wall display?
I don’t think so, they all look too big to be the Noisy Cricket.
The one you’re thinking of looks like it’s from the original Battlestar….
I think that’s the reverberating carbonizer with mutate capacity.
Nah, the carbuerizor was the one that disintegrated in the beginning. The scary looking things that go up and the bong attached underneath….

I once had a reverberating carburetor. It damn near killed me.
The bottom right one is Bruce’s – from 5th element I think. Second one down is Mrs. Weaver’s
Where is the link to the collection?
You got it! Just checked IMFDb.
Quick guesses from memory: The revolvery thing in the middle is Corben Dallas’s (Willis) gun from The Fifth Element. And since I don’t see the M41A pulse rifle, I’m guessing the silver and black pistol on the right is the grappling/spear gun from the end of Alien.
Nope. I’m wrong on both counts.
The revolvery thing is from Serenity, I believe.
Not if your thinking Malcom’s sidearm, his looks a lot closer to a “regular” cap and ball pistol.
Pretty sure the “revolvery” one is Ronan’s pistol from Stargate: Atlantis.
ooo, I think Zod nailed it.
Kneel before Zod!
Collection is truly lacking without Han Solo’s blaster. And the pre Brady phaser owned by James T. Kirk
Well, unless I miss my guess, MOST of those weren’t gussied up firearms, unlike han’s which was a Mauser C96 with bits stuck on… I have no idea if you’d have to do a 4473 for the Han Solo piece (assuming you could afford it).
What’s a pre-brady phaser?
The phasers from TOS and its movies looked more like pistols; Next Generation-era phasers looked like Dustbusters. Because gun-shaped objects are evil.
Holy crap, that explains so much.
and didn’t have sights, making a pistol that could burn through several meters of rock that you couldn’t sight for beans.
This is more of a Sci Fi nerd thing, rather than a gun nerd thing.
But definitely a nerd thing.
Either way, I enjoyed it.
Where is the heavy hardware of the grunts in Alien?
The rifle at bottom is very clearly a Kel-Tec with a +500 MOA optic mount.
Sadly, even Kel-tecs of the future choke horribly.
Sure it’s not a high point?
If that’s a kel-tec it’s half the production run of that model. Kel-tec never produces more than 5-6 before they bring out something new and equally unobtainable.
Here it is 2014 and still no lasers for the common man or flying cars. Can we at least get robot maids?
For realz. But they have to look better than Rosie. That hunk o’ junk is just an automated Hazel, sport. Why did George settle for that when he had a flying car for God’s sake?
‘Cuz he wanted to hang on to that hot wife!
You’re old enough to remember Hazel?
The engineers invented the internet to share their data. Then while they were going for the flying car they… Ooooo look cat pictures!
I just saw that “gun” fro MIB at the EMP a couple weeks ago. If you’re in the Seattle area, you should go check it out.
I spy Ronon Dex’s pistol in there too. I wondered who won that lot during the auction of SG:A props.

I stopped being impressed with props decades ago
for a true Fan Boy Gasam only the Man From UNCLE’s operational P-38 w/all the bells and whistles will do
He needs a Lassiter Laser Pistol and a Varon-T Disruptor.
The Varon-T’s were outlawed… centuries from now. (?!)
Nice, but I doubt ANY of them are Cal legal.
They’re certainly not on the roster.
Cause I’m a sucker for all guns (replica’s and otherwise, fictional or non,) I’m just going to leave this here… & yes I have it bookmarked for when I win the powerball…

(though… I’d doubt the “functional” moniker is as accurate as I’d like)
Pretty neat other wares in that guys shop as well. (prop replica guns n’ stuff)
No sci-fi armory is complete without at least one lightsaber … They’re an elegant weapon from a more civilized age! Not as crude or clumsy as a blaster pistol.
When he scores an actual movie used butane fired Sleep Gun from Logans Run I will be duly impressed.
Where is The illudium q-36 explosive space modulator?
I don’t see a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range,
I see nothing from Firefly. Fail collection is fail.
