It's not a hologram or anything, just a retractable LED strip. Most likely this one:

which is this:
https://files.catbox.moe/qlob9s.png
with a description of inner workings as follows:
the special effects device (or energy sword, lightsaber prop, or the like) is specially configured to provide an extendable and retractable energy blade that appears to emanate from a handheld hilt due to a lighting effect that appears to provide bright hilt-based lighting. In some useful embodiments, the special effects device includes two long plastic cylinders that are cut lengthwise. These two pieces (or blade body members) are then each rolled perpendicular to their length (or their central axis), which creates compact cylinders of material of relatively small volume that can be provided on a pair of spools or reels. The spools holding the blade body members, along with other blade-producing elements, are housed within the body of the hilt assembly of the special effects device or lightsaber prop. To extend the blade, a motor provided in the hilt body is operated to unroll the rolled/spooled plastic blade body members from their reels/spools with each member (or blade half) acting much like a metal carpenter’s tape measure. Each blade body member passes through a blade forming guideway or passageway that acts to “zip” the two semi-cylindrical blade body members together (or with portions along their length overlapping each other or one nesting inside the other) as they leave the hilt body, thereby forming the energy blade. To retract the blade, the process is reversed with the motor acting to wind the pair of spools to reel or wind the extended blade body members back into the hilt body and onto the pair of spools/reels.

For adult children. Pathetic.

I was thinking about this same thing. I hate those adult disney fans. They have disney kitsch on their office desk and they go every year. Its fucking gross.

Fail. Doesn’t retract fast enough.

A high density retractable antenna loaded on a 50psi (at least) spring, with a high capacity energy source (stun saber) and a highly volatile/combustible pressurized gas is the bare minimum needed to recreate the sound and feel for a fun toy.

The actual weapon (and eventual mark models) would utilize the smallest nuclear reactor never built before.

That would have been awesome.

In 1983.

When I was 4.

I can respect it for ingenuity, but not for the fsct that it's useless.

Is this available with an AR bayonet lug?

Man,I remember when I would've loved this. Back when I still believed the government was fair and there was nothing underhanded going on. We were just all having fun in our amazing world.

Now,the only use I'd have for such a thing would be as a suppository on a jew. And knowing their twist asses,they'd probably like it.

I hate them so much.

No thanks I prefer real functioning weapons. I guess it would be good for some dweeb larper cosplaying at comic-con but thats about it.

That would be rad... If I were 8 again.
