Buck Rogers XZ-31 Rocket Gun

THIS IS NOW FULLY WORKING AND PRINTABLE. This is my version of the Buck Rogers XZ-31 Rocket Gun, one that is fully functional and ready for printing. It's a replica of the iconic toy ray gun produced by Daisy in 1934, based on the popular "Buck Rogers" comic strip character's trusty sidearm. The original XZ-31 Rocket Pistol was a 9 ½-inch toy gun that made a distinctive "pop!" sound, retailed for 50 cents and was crafted from stamped metal. It marked the beginning of six Buck Rogers toy guns manufactured by Daisy Manufacturing Co. over two decades. My 3D printable version features a spring trigger but lacks the pop mechanism, designed solely for display purposes. I've been obsessed with this ray gun since childhood, ever since my friend's dad got one as a gift for his birthday back in the '70s. It may not be an exact replica, but it was a thrill to build and will make a stunning addition once printed and painted. Instructions Important Note: The Back_Handle file is a mirror of Front_Handle. Ignore any trigger capture details on the Back_Handle file, as they can be safely omitted during assembly. When assembling the gun, use sandpaper or a hobby knife to carefully remove any trigger capture remnants still attached to the Back_Handle part.
