Star Trek: Voyager, Hirogen Hunter Rifle

original movie prop weapon

This hero rifle was one of two created for use by the Hirogen, a nomadic race whose existence centers around the hunt. A massive weapon, of 3-step chrome plated (cold to the touch) vacuform plastic, with separately controlled changing multi-LED display and bright underbarrel spot light. The tracking display is particularly nice; instead of a simple on/off function, each trace visibly blooms and then fades. At 48", this is the longest and bulkiest rifle-type prop in my collection. Interesting propmaker's note: the detail piece on the center bottom of the weapon, just in front of the grip, is part of a toy Star Wars lightsaber.
