Volund Starfire

Can you imagine, for you youngins, the thrill of seeing stuff like that on the screen? I mean, this was no Star Trek combat, but actual space fighters. Real alien-looking aliens that only had a vague humanoid shape (as opposed to blue face-paint and a white wig with antenna). Weapons that didn't make the pew pew laser sound... Just imagine what people used to the movies from then must have thought. It would be like comparing Halo 3 to Super Mario from the Nintendo!

Hair drier or hobby heat gun? The gun gets much hotter, but I do not think hot enough to melt plastic.

It also depends on the speaker. I've seen some smaller speakers put out a heck of a sound. I'm currently looking into the electronics set-up for my bucket, and it looks as if I will be ordering a set with special micro-blasters... a bit of a play on some of the military speaker-phone systems. Not to mention, it just sounds cool when someone talks to you and you hear their voice comming from their head.
