A guy over on the prop forum has torn apart his movie phaser and is working on motorizing the stun/kill turn setting. Check it out...

That's the way these things should be made!

It would make them a fair amount more expensive. Actually, I kind of like the way Playmates made them spring loaded to swivel. But a motor is cool too.
That is pretty sweet! I'm hoping that one of the prop replica companies puts together something like this.

I wish they springed both ways tbh. Would have made them that much cooler.
