After getting great feedback on my previous article on Steam powered robots, I thought nothing goes better with robots than ray guns. While scouring the internet I found this web page dedicated to the sale of Ray Guns. Why would you want a ray gun? Imagine you are out on a date with your significant other slowing enjoying a quite evening drinking in the presence of each other while dining on of perfectly seared scallops or a hearty prime rib when mushroom men from Mercury pop in to ruin the date? What well thanks to Dr. Grordbort you can be prepared for just that occassion.
Looking through the site there are beautifully crafted guns ranging from the Mongoose Concealable Ray Pistol to the Blunderbus Unnatural Selector I am amazed at the creativity and ingenuity of Greg Broadmore.

So who is Greg Broadmore? As a designer for Weta Workshop, chances are you have seen his work in District 9, iRobot or The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. He created not just these beautiful works of art but an entire site dedicated to the world in which they exist. Greg just recently released the Dr Grordbort’s Contrapulatronic Dingus Directory full of fantastic inventions, incredible background, and the latest in the weaponry for gentlemen of adventure.
So make sure you are armed with your Infallible Aether Oscillators before you stumble upon a Shallow Beaked Grogan and if you are still not convinced then read for yourself the testimonials of their many satisfied users. Captain Ernst Kurtzwattle, “who is a fine upstanding gentleman of the military order with a gentle disposition, fresh minty breath and very clean fingernails”, personally took time out of his busy schedule of collecting Shrubber Tree wood on Jupiter to write the praises of his ray gun. With fine fellows like him backing the ray guns how could you go wrong.
