     CONGRADULATIONS; YOU ARE NOW THE PROUD OWNER OF A REPLICA XRT TYPE 1 ANTI-MATTER RAYGUN PISTOL. THIS REPLICA IS A NON-FUNCTIONING VERSION OF THE XRT TYPE 1’s THAT WILL BE ISSUED TO TERRAN EMPIRE SECURITY AND MILITARY FORCES IN THE 22^nd CENTURY. THIS REPLICA WAS MANUFACTURED BY “RAYGUNS-R-US GMBH” ON THE SAME PRODUCTION LINES, AT THE SAME TIME, AS THE ABOVE-MENTIONED FEDERATION ISSUE XRT TYPE 1’s. BECAUSE OF THE RECENT DISCOVERY OF THE METAFORB TEMPORAL DISCONTINUITY WE WERE ABLE TO ENTER INTO NEGOTIATIONS WITH RAYGUNS-R-US IN THE THE YEAR 2169; WHICH RESULTED IN THEIR PRODUCTION OF THESE REPLICAS AND THE SUBSEQUENT SHIPMENT TO OUR TEMPORAL LOCATION.

     THE XRT TYPE 1 IS SIMPLE TO OPERATE AND NO MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED. THE PUSH-THROUGH SWITCH LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE PISTOL IS THE SAFETY MECHANISM. WHEN THE BLUE LETTER F IS VISIBLE THE RAYGUN IS READY TO: FIRE. WHEN THE RED LETTER S IS VISIBLE THE RAYGUN IS: SAFE. THE ROTATING SWITCH LOCATED AT THE FRONT LEFT CORNER IS THE SELECTOR MECHANISM. THIS DETERMINES THE INTENSITY OF THE ANTI-MATTER RAY. WHEN THE POINTER IS TOWARDS THE RED NUMBER O THE RAYGUN IS ON THE MINUMUM SETTING. MOST HUMANOID SPECIES WITH A NON-ARMORED EPIDERMIS WILL RECEIVE AN IMMEDIATE MODERATE TO SEVERE “SUNBURN”.  WHEN THE POINTER IS ROTATED TOWARDS THE MUZZLE (AWAY FROM THE SHOOTER) THE INTENSITY INCREASES. AT FULL POWER THE EFFECT ON THE TARGET INCREASES DRAMATICALLY: THINK KRISPY KRITTERS.

     THE XRT TYPE 1 IS SOLAR POWERED, SO UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE FRPM CHAMBER (UPPER ROUNDED & FINNED PORTION) BE PAINTED OR OTHERWISE OBSCURED. UNDER LOW-LIGHT CONDITIONS THE XRT TYPE 1 HAS SUFFICIENT STORED CHARGE FOR 10 SECONDS OF USE WITH THE SELECTOR ON THE MAXIMUM SETTING. IF EXTENDED NIGHT-TIME USE IS ANTICIPATED THE PURCHASER SHOULD PROCUR AN XRT TYPE 1AX OR XRT TYPE 1BX ALONG WITH THE EXTERNAL POWER SOURCE. THE FRPM CHAMBER HAS A LIFE EXPECTANCY OF 50 HOURS IF 2 TO 3 SECOND BURST CONTROL IS MAINTAINED. CONTINUOUS USAGE CAN REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE WEAPON TO AS LITTLE AS 5 HOURS DUE TO OVER HEATING. THE FRPM CHAMBER IS NOT REPAIRABLE. EXPIRED WEAPONS SHOULD BE RETURNED TO THE FACTORY OR DESTROYED BY AN EXPLOSIVE DEVICE; CONSISTING OF A MINIMUM OF: 100 GRAMS OF ELEKTRONAX, 1 KILOGRAM OF C4/RDX/HEXOGEN, OR 3 KILOGRAMS OF TNT/TROTYL/NIPOLIT. THE XRT TYPE 1 CONTAINS NO USER SERVICABLE PARTS ! ANY ATTEMPT TO DISMANTLE THIS WEAPON COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH ! NNNNN

     CAUTION ! EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN (ALAS) NON-FUNCTIONING RAYGUN IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO BE A SCULPTURE AND NOT A TOY. IT IS AN EXACT DUPLICATE OF THE ACTUAL XRT TYPE 1 ANTI-MATTER PISTOL AND IS OF IDENTICAL APPEARANCE AND ‘FEEL’ : DISCRETION IS ADVISED. IT IS NOT ADVISABLE TO DISPLAY THIS REPLICA IN A THREATENING MANNER IN THE PRESENCE OF   NEIGHBORS,  BANK CLERKS,  OR POLICE OFFICERS.

     TO INSTALL  THE XRT TYPE 1 RAYGUN ON THE DISPLAY STAND: PLACE THE XRT SO THAT THE NOTCH AT THE FRONT OF THE STAND IS LOCATED IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE REAR OF THE BARREL FINS/SLEEVE AND THE TWO FINGERS AT THE REAR OF THE STAND ARE JUST AHEAD OF THE SAFETY MECHANISM.

     THE XRT TYPE 1 MAY BE READILY CLEANED BY A CAREFUL WIPING WITH A LIGHT OIL SUCH AS WD-40.  USE A HIGH-QUALITY PAPER TOWEL (SUCH AS THAT INCLUDED FROM THE FACTORY) OR AN SOFT CLOTH (SUCH AS A DIAPER, T-SHIRT CLOTH MAY SCRATCH THE ALUMINUM PARTS). THE STEEL COMPONENTS SHOULD BE KEPT OILED TO PREVENT RUSTING. THE ‘WHITE’ APPEARANCE OF THE GRIP FRAME AND FRPM CHAMBER FINS MAY BE RESTORED BY A LIGHT WIPING WITH MINERAL SPIRITS.
