Talk:Phase pistol

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

Where it says the Phase Pistol is an Art Asylum from Carpenter Street, it is not correct. That phase pistol is a static but original prop, not the toy. If you look closley you can tell, but I have also been told by those "intheknow" from the set.

Can you cite this claim? (Not to say that the version in the article doesn't also need citation) - AJ Halliwell 23:36, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I can tell you that I know first hand as I have had one from the set in my hand next to one of the toys. I have photographic evidence as well. I should note I have just been through this article and corrected and expanded a few other things as it seemed quite vague and basic. I see what you are saying about citing the claim, but in this case one just needs to look at the model used for filming and the toy to realise that this person incorrectly identified it as the toy as I did before the guy who made them for the show pointed out to me that it is infact a stunt model.
