James--
Basically the standard RC rifle, should be in RCEG, and also in the hands
of the RC figures that got put out.
I was surprised with some of the "minis" they gave me to rate as TNE
starships. Some of them just looked like little pieces of left-over junk,
and one of them was the TL-10 ACR, which they had presumably cast
separately to place in the hands of various figures. I declined to pretend
these were starships.
Honestly, if you put the gun on a stand upside down, it didn't look unlike
some of the Aliens or B5 Earth ships, but if you knew it was an ACR-10 the
illusion was kind of wrecked.
