Emitter coils.

I'm wondering about the dubble barrel & light on the tip.
The barrels look like conduit & the light looks like a DR30D0L-L9RZC Fuji Electric LED indicating light.

comments suggestions, I'd like to make one, & I'm a stickler for accuracy.

I mean in real life. They turn up as props in sci-fi a lot... I'd post a pic but can't find one without a name.

They have a passing resemblance to a power line insulator.  Don't know if that's what they are or not.  https://www.liyond.com/line-post-insulator-epoxy-resin-switchgear-lyc295/

It's possible it was taken in the same way that from the eyestalk mold that was taken for the exploding fx dalek in Remembrance. PB has a video about that eyestalk on his channel :)

The breaking strain is fast approaching, guns and riots.

And the press get fed the scapegoats,

Managed to capture a couple of pics of the sort of thing I'm thinking of though they are quite different from one another. It's very difficult finding something when you don't know what it's called lol.

If you put plastic (or rubber) gaiter (or bellows) into google images you get some pretty close matches.

The emitter coils always reminds me of the glass non-conductors on power lines.

What, you mean a power line insulator?;)

Yes. I know it's not what the guns are made from, I was just using the similarity in the gun barrel to find out what the thing was that I was thinking of from seeing them in other things on other occasions.

I finally figured out what it remided me of....

A rubber gaiter from a studio camera cable.

I made a blueprint, I don't know if the size is correct, or close, but if its not, or someone has some info, I can always edit later.  8)
