Abstract: A toy space gun comprising a hollow chamber and an elongate hollow cylindrical barrel extending therefrom, both of opaque molded plastic construction. A strobe unit including a strobe lamp is responsive to an operator trigger for generating a high intensity light flash of short duration. The lamp is mounted at the inner barrel end by a concave reflector which cooperates with a reflective internal surface in the barrel for projecting a major portion of the light flash through the barrel in a condensed pattern.
