Anubian, it's a "LS45 Laser Aiming System" that was produced by Imatronic Ltd in the UK. |

There was a great article about the 45 longslide with Lasersight. I think Arnold had a car battery under his coat to power it. Funny that you can buy a laser keychain for $5 now. |

The very first movie/TV show to use a laser sight was the British 70's show The Professionals. Useless trivia 101...

I think it was a helium-neon Laser-Lok SC100 sight in the episode "Hunter/Hunted". If I remember rightly they dressed an AR10 with a drum or pan magazine to make it resemble an American 180. The latter was being marketed with a laser sight around the time (79/80) for law enforcement as the American 180 System by Charles Goff of American International Corp.

I'm always amazed at how far technology comes in a short period of time. First cell phone I had was in a bag with a cord attached to the handset. Now I have a phone only slightly larger than a credit card, and I can surf the web on it too. Old school tech is still retro-cool.  Congrats on scoring the laser Brian! |

Wow it's an actual H/N laser? I have one of those I bought in the 80s but it's huge. Like 24 inches long. |

Russ...I'm 'not an authority on anything' I 'think' the reddot/reflex sights on the 'Deep Rising' Calicos are either mockups or a dressed item. They don't remind me of any widely available reddot, when I get time I'll look into it. A family friend was the DOP on that film... |

Someone on the RPF said its a 'ADCO square shooter' red dot sight. Google seems to bear this out. SAS |

Cheers Sidewinder The "Square Shooter" was apparently popular mounted on paintball markers. Seemingly ADCO have replaced it with 2 models - the "Vision 2000" and the "Square Shooter 2" Although this place may still have some original "Square Shooters" available for $45. |
