Eraser, EM-1 Railgun

original movie prop weapon

Cyrez Corporation mercenaries use this bleeding-edge high tech weapon, a hypervelocity magnetic pulse rifle prototype with computer-assisted x-ray scope, in their attempts to stop US Marshal John Kruger and the witness under his protection.

This is one of the screenused functional hero rifles, made of metal with carbon fiber detail.  The pneumatic and CO2 injection systems have been restored so that, when the trigger is pulled, the front stock and barrel recoil back forcefully and a blast of smoke fires from the barrel, as seen onscreen.

The scope on this piece is a high quality replica, custom crafted directly from reference to one of the few remaining screenused scopes. (The story goes that Arnold was unhappy with the weight of these rifles at 17 lb apiece and was particularly brutal with them on the set.)  Rotocast resin, with two-layer acrylic front lens and green illumination.  Fine-print safety label on the side of the scope reads: Warning! The x-ray setting of this device may cause sterility, organ failure, and rectal bleeding in human targets and should never be used on friendlies. Repeated use may also cause brain cancer in the operator.

Restoration by Griefboy.  Scope by morganthirteen.
