Abstract
The present invention relates to an amusement device to simulate laser and phasor sights and sounds in Star Wars-like play situation. The device, shaped like a guantlet for circumscription about the user's arm allows a variety of collimated light rays accompanied by appropriate sounds to be selectively transmitted toward the "enemy" by the activation of one or more switches precoordinated with the desired sight/sound simulated mode of "destruction". The rays are emitted in a plane parallel to the user's hand to permit reasonably precise aiming.
