If you’re in the market for a ray gun, then Dr. Grordbort is your man. Designer Greg Broadmore dreams up this fantastic intergalactic weaponry and then each incredible unit is sculpted and hand built out of metal by extremely talented David Tremont. A cross between space age and steampunk, multiple worlds are merged to create these amazing limited edition shooters.
Dr. Grordbort’s laboratory fabricates futuristic firepower under awesome names such as the Victorious Mongoose, Righteous Bison, Unnatural Selector and the Manmelter 3600ZX.
Grordbort Industries doesn’t hold back on the fantasy firearm packaging either. Take the Pearce 74 Atom Ray Gun: every one of the 400 intricately handmade produced are presented in a velvet lined metal case complete with "certificate of authenticity" and a display stand so you can show it off properly to your friends and ward off any potential alien invaders as well!
