I found this Airzone Quickfire rifle sometime ago. I bought it because I thought the barrel extension loosley resembled a Star Trek Phaser Rifle. This paint job was kept quite simple and clean, consisting of just black, silver and gold. Classic Trek gadgetry has a lot of little gold embellishments on it. I think the old school look is ugly and beautiful at the same time. I threw in known Star Trek Phasers from canon for comparison. I think it fits somewhere between classic Trek and Next Generation which is quite a large window of time. I'm calling it a proptype from that period of time which gets me of the hook with all the hardcore trekkies.
