A prop from Star Trek next generation. Tv series
This is a gun from Star Trek.
It’s actually from the first episode of the next generation.
When they first meet Q.
It’s in the scene during the trial.
The guards were all holding them.
My brother worked at Paramount Studios.
And he said that there was this guy with a big giant cart/table and he had a bunch of different style guns, and he was throwing them in the trashcan/dumpster.
My brother asked him. Why are you throwing them away and he said because we’re constantly making new ones so once they’re done filming, we just get rid of these. Then they just send a new order to our props department and we just make more.
Then he asked him what are they from ? and he’s at Star Trek.
Then he asked him is it cool if I grab one for my brother he likes all that Star Trek ,
Star Wars sci-fi stuff. And the guy said yes and grab as many as you like and he just grabbed this one..
It was a little beat up by the time I got it, but I’ve had it ever since.
And I always thought it was just really cool.
I don’t know if any of the other ones survived, or if anybody was lucky enough to get one. But it’s kind of cool having a prop from the TV show.
So to recap, it came out on the first episode of Star Trek the next generation.
( "Encounter at Farpoint," which originally aired on September 28, 1987.)
