Early Models
The gun was manufactured starting in the 1960s, at which time it was called the "Rapid-Fire Tracer Gun". It was available in greenish bronze or bluish silver. Many of these older guns were made by Ray Plastics in the United States Ray Plastics, Inc. under the brand name "Rayline". A rifle version of the tracer gun was also made, called the "Jet Disc Tracer-Scope". There was even a collectible Star Trek version, called the "Star Trek Tracer Gun" and "Star Trek Tracer-Scope", first made in 1966 and one of the earliest Star Trek licensed products. All versions, including the rifle, held 20 jet discs in an integrated spring-driven magazine.
The toy, including the Star Trek version, was sold in Canada under the "Grand Toys" brand.
