This photo credited to James Vaughan of a young lad with a huge bazooka has me baffled.
Is that a toy?
Does anyone know?

SOLVED BY YORKIE!
Its Mattel's Agent Zero Sonic Blaster, basically a sound bazooka!
Thanks to Yorkie's link we have the video of the Sixties TV ad ... and yes, a young Kurt Russell - making waves early on!
What a toy!
It's the Agent Zero M Sonic Blaster by Mattel made around 1964. Advert here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLv3ynPrt9o
ReplyDeleteThanks Yorkie! You've cracked it! I've posted the video clip! Ta very much.
DeleteThat's enormous.
ReplyDeleteMore of a huge bazooka with a young lad !
It is humungous Mish isn't it. I reckon if you went out with it now like young Kurt did you'd end up with a SWAT team surrounding you!
DeleteI had the camera pistol and the radio rifle myself. Never saw this one in the flesh. I understand it made ear damaging levels of sound.
ReplyDeleteThere was an air pistol that was unrelated I remember. It was used in more than one low budget Sci-Fi movie.
