Greetings,
As I got it a couple of weeks ago, the NOS parts in bags are for restoration:

Taken apart (notice the yellow and blue OIL BASED paint still stuck on it after all these years):

Resealed, reblued, restored to original mid 60s glory with my other (not so shiny) one:

It took more time to get the oil based paint out of it than anything else!

Enjoy!
Cheers,

You got the stardate wrong ... it should be:

Stardate 59016

Nice guns (did I just say that?). They look a lot like the flame guns from Logan's Run and would make a good prop if that senario was ever played. It would be especially cool if you could get it to actually produce a flame but I doubt you could play with it that way. Damn, now I'm thinking that would make a really cool senario, especially if you only used guns and broke into a mall to play. Half the game could be in the mall and the other half could be "outside".

So far when I shot 'em with the first one, they mostly just say: "I'M OUT!" :rolleyes:

As for scenarios, either my trusty KP2SC or KP3DF and one of these in the original holster that it came with for a side arm to start, then break out the electro semis for the final battles.....or better yet, standing OUTSIDE the final battle area, WATCHING while drinking a cool beverage.. YEAH, that's the ticket!

Nice. I first started playing with Nelspot 007's. My brother has a brand new one - never been fired. The field where I used to play and work closed down recently :( . I think the guy that owned it is sitting on a pile of those, but they're modified to accept co2 tanks, hoppers and pumps so they're no longer stock class.
