I don't know how practical that would be on a set that is already over burdened by time and expense crunches, as it takes a good 2-3 minutes to disassemble, load, reassemble the weapon. Yes it could be done in between takes, but thats working harder not smarter. |
If I recall correctly, the production crew of I, Robot faced a similar problem loading the Taurus inside of the shell of Spooner's sidearm. Their solution was to have several identical hero weapons loaded and ready before any take that included gunfire, so that retakes could be shot immediately without waiting to disassemble, reload, and reassemble the weapon. Of course, what we know about Deckard's Blaster suggests that this wasn't an option for the BR crew.

The latest Think Geek catalog (www.thinkgeek.com) has a pen-sized green laser that they claim "can be seen in mid-air in the dark". This is a new one for me... The item number is 5A47 and another version, A570. Price range is $70-80.
It made me wonder if the tiny green laser that began this thread also is visible in mid-air at night. That would make it considerably more interesting as a BR gun add-on.
I've never seen a green laser fire, only the red ones. And the red ones I've seen only show in high smoke or dust environments (like at Burning Man-- there are lasers visible all over the Playa because of the almost constant airborne gypsum dust).
Who knows, maybe the technology has changed and I missed it...
