This prop features a built in smoke machine, LED lights, Sound and movement up, down, left right and recoil using servos, relays, timers.,  amplifiers and speakers, etc.  controlled with a 6 channel remote control. The Turbolaser will be mounted on the back of the Death Star (bed of the Hummer H1) however, we can simply remove it from the truck and use inside at events.

This prop simulates the firing of the Turbolasers found on the Death Star surface in A New Hope.   See the imaging below along with finished pictures and videos.
