I wonder if the Slug-o mascot intentionally echoes Slurms McKenzie. (Obviously they're just both cartoony slugs, but I can still wonder.)
This is a cast of a present-day SilencerCo Maxim 9 semi-automatic pistol with a few extra greeblies similar to those added to Jack's TOS/TFF phaser. https://silencerco.com/silencers/maxim-9/
It's interesting to see this prop. I thought it was sold at the PropStore auction. https://propstoreauction.com/lot-de...lot/96576?url=/auctions/catalog/id/321?page=8
Look closely - they are different items - the grain of the wooden block, the marks (or lack thereof) on the name plaque). It's usual to have more than one prop made.
Wow! Yes the lighting on the series itself is horrible. I thought these uniforms were just a call back to the old DS9 Style uniforms because I hadn't noticed the red stripe highlight going down the front in any of the Picard season 3 streamed episodes so far, and I assume the Yellow version has yellow highlight. Interesting continuity here as as shown above these uniforms are more a continuation/evolution of the style of uniform used in the animated Star Trek Lower Decks animated series.
