Two weeks, Two Students,
A crucial mission to help Captain Kirk with his Phaser II
Project Brief: To created the exact replica of the Phaser I found on The Star Trek Series. Then researched and test it in order to find opportunities for improvements.
The Phaser II was then created as a proposal for the next generation of phaser guns.
Era Research
Current Phaser II used by Captain Kirk
Problem to be solved: The biggest problem Captain Kirk had with his Phaser, was that it was easily kicked out of his hand.
The new phaser gun has a grip which wraps around the hand for a more comfortable handling, this feature also makes it harder to lose in combat. For this new prototype the colour palette was kept identical. as well as the core functions of the guns.
It can still be attached to the uniform with velcro, for the same accessibility.
