You forgot about the gun that premiered in Exploriens, it had one handle,
a "sight", and the barrel. The barrel could have small translucent cones
attached to make it a laser, or the small dish made it a scanner.
Besides that I like MAKING my weaponry. That way you have an original
arsenal and it can shoot any type of ray, beam, projectile you decide.
I don't think Lego is worried about the violence part, they just realize we
do fine, for the most part, without.
I not opposed to the idea of pre-fabricated space weaponry, I just don't
think it's necessary.
