Favourite Pulp Side Arm ?

[flooglestreet]

I want a Lewiston, like Conway Costigan in Triplanetary.

[leadfool]

OK Flooglestreet, you have me stumped, a what?  What is/was a lewiston, who is conway Costigan and what is Triplanetary???


Monk.... I prefer my .38 caliber snubbie revolvers to be S&W over Colt.

Triplanetary is the first volume in the History of Civilization. A multivolume opus by Dr. Edward E. Smith Ph.D. Conway Costigan is a stout hearted irishman and a crack agent of Virgil Samms Triplanetary service. Said agents make our Solar system habitable for decent sentients everywhere, by constant vigilance against Space pirates and drug runners. http://www.ethanfleischer.com/lensman/main.htm

The Lewiston is the issue sidearm of space patrolmen everywhere, be they Venusian, Matrian or from our own mother earth in the never ending battle against kedonolating zwilniks.

EE 'Doc' Smith - one of SF's greats!

Although if we're bringing pulp SF into it, I'd like a plasma pistol and a bolt gun please.

OK, how does this Lewiston look like?

OK, how does this Lewiston look like?

Its longer and narrower then a deLameter with a flaring transduction chamber. It lacks the press-to-eject reaction baffles common to rocket pistols, of course, but has a dual mitron where the baffles would be. It has the same pistol grip as the cisLunar rocket pistol but the cadmium-nickle Barstoe collar is a dead giveaway. Being an energy weapon, it has a muzzle flash like a newspaper photographers camera.

floogle street, thanks for the info.

[former user]

well, thx for the Info, but a picture would contribute much more to my understanding 

[leadfool]

former user,
Flooglestreet left a connection to the lensman series.  The "Children of the lens" has a picture of a gun, which I think might be lewiston.

[flooglestreet]

Thanks for pointing that out Leadfool, but it's a deLameter.

[alone_withmyaxe]

455 for good measure

Or maybe

For fun!

You certainly can't go wrong with a Webley mk VI .455 revolver.

Now known in my group as the Webley Dragon Stopper.  Talk about a lucky shot!

And  how many phasar pulses can it discharge in a minute?
