Behind the scenes

Gun concept

Concept art by Syd Mead

The prop used in Blade Runner was constructed from parts of a Charter Arms Bulldog revolver and a Steyr Mannlicher .222 Model SL rifle. The prop was re-created for Blade Runner 2049, as the original had been sold to a collector for $250,000. In all, four were made for 2049, three containing actual weaponry, and one made of rubber for action scenes.[3]

In the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Deckard uses a laser tube.
