PYROTOMIC DISINTEGRATOR RIFLE - SIROLITE - PORTUGAL
This is a Portugese version of the Pyrotomic Disintegrator Rifle originally made by Pyro. Large (20 inch) hard plastic space rifle, classic futuristic styling in a rather cheap two colored plastic. A number of the moldings have been created as individual components and glued in place. There are three vents near the front, unlike the four vents of the Pyro original. The crank lacks the ridge of the original and trim pieces have been added that are integral to the Pyro.
Numerous color combinations are known. Turning the crank causes the reciprocating barrel to recoil with a loud noise. Shipped in plain cardboard boxes.
The Pyro original featured in the May 1953 issue of "Chain Store Magazine".
