A light-up, mechanical, recoiling CARB GS-221 submachine gun from James Cameron's Avatar. Resources Developmental Administration (RDA) SecOp soldiers carried multiple modular Cellular Ammunition Rifle Base (CARB) weapons, including a variety of submachine guns and assault rifles, as they fought the Na'vi throughout Pandora.

Entirely custom-made by Weta Workshop, this ornately detailed, futuristic bullpup-style weapon is constructed primarily from urethane with metal components with a self-contained electronic mechanism that produces a barrel flash and ejects rectangular brass shell casing. The body is hand-painted gunmetal blue and labeled with the "MATANZA ARMS CORP" company logo, as well as serial number "3587 36-248-ARC."

This weapon features a textured front grip installed with wiring connected to a depressible trigger, as well as a functional red laser sight activated by a button on the forward grip, an "HC-i"-branded scope, and safe/fire switches on either side labeled "S," "1," and "A." The trigger - originally designed to fire brass prop ammo shells contained in a green magazine near the butt - activates a recoil mechanism when depressed. It has a removable battery pack located inside the green magazine housing, and a removable ammunition-casing magazine.

Following production, this weapon's original battery was replaced. It is intentionally distressed by production with discoloration, scratches, and various scuffs from battle. The CARB exhibits a buildup of grime, rough edges around the scope, a loose scope cape, and a fractured top from production and age, exposing the metal interior. Dimensions: 20" x 12" x 5" (51 cm x 30.5 cm x 12.5 cm)
