The Buffalo 397 is a powerful laser weapon developed for usage by the Kingdom of Acorn's Royal Secret Service. In his arrogance, Commander Geoffrey St. John, while training new recruits, displayed it's abilities and declared it a "major league" weapon and pointed out the Knothole Freedom Fighters did not use weapons like it. The weapon itself is lightweight, fits comfortably the palm of the hand, utilizes a Double-A Power Cell, has an automatic targeting Sight-O-Scope and can deliver on impact "the effect of a brick hitting a plate glass window" (disintegration).
