why does it need a trigger? How does a trigger operate a non-mechnanical device? It seems extremely inefficient engineering, given that inside the casing there would therefore need to be a pivot assembly (to hold the trigger and provide an axis to move around), and a linkage assembly so that the trigger could operate the firing mode...
Why not a simple squeeze button built into the handle, which would also greatly improve accuracy?
I would conclude that the "trigger" is simply to provide a reference point, for people unfamilair with what it is... eg a pointer as to what this strange device is... "Its a gun!"
As for the dinosaur... hmm... ok, find a painting of a common bird. Or take a photo of one yourself. Now try to recreate that photo again, such that the angle (in this case, 1/4 on from below left) is the same, as the bird flares in the same manner, with the mouth open at the same degree, and the same "plumage" or underside colouring.
I'd wager that flying dinosaurs of that type numbered, in any one location, in their dozens at most,. The chances of taking a photo of a low-count animal, that happened to exactly match a painting... sorry. The chances are so fantastically small. My point above is that even when the necessary subjects number in their thousands at any one location it is improbably small a possibillity to recreate a prior image...
The other point is... why does "alien" clothing and fashion tend to model the then-current/previous generation sci-fi fashion designs, and/or use current textiles?
Examples. 60/70 fashions of the year 2000 showed us in silver lame suits, or Grecian style robes. What do we wear? Much the same textiles as we did in the 60/70s, albeit different cuts and patterns. But the textiles are the same. Oh, but we do have Gore-Tex, teflon, etc. Its not inconceivable that advanced cultures would improve on textiles, much as we tend to do?

Not to mention that the "Visitors" just happened to be just a homophobic as their "Only" contactee in the World.
That says something in itself.

I wish people would actually look at the actual documentation in the contact notes or watch the documentaries before making comments like this...
Where does it say the visitors are homophobic?? Nowhere, the visitors supposedly live their lives by Creational Laws which are based on the workings of nature and the universe, something we know precious little about. Yes you can find animals in nature in rare circunstances sometimes performing seemingly homosexual acts but it's hardly demonstrable to the even a fraction of the extent it is in the human race. (earth bound of course) Nothing homophobic about it, they just don't do it.
Seems that scientists (yeah I know as far
you are concerned that makes them stupid and biased) knew all the way
back to the 1960's (almost 50 years ago) about the problems of
radiation in space. Seems they also took the time to learn how to
protect space travelers. Seems that aluminum and polyethylene seem to
work really well and is what is used on ISS to provide shielding.
(oops guess you missed the problem of shielding on ISS didn't you?).
Curious to note that Gold protects astronauts on the moon and in outer
space. As a high energy radiation shield, gold goes into space suits
and on capsules. A mere 0.000006 of an inch of gold coats rocket
engines, electronic systems, helmets, visors, tether lines; yet
because gold is such a marvelous reflector, that is enough to protect
the astronauts and equipment from radiation and deflects the burning
heat of the sun. The lunar modules of the Apollo program that put men
on the moon were shrouded with gold foil acting as a radiation shield
and gold that thin is only slightly less effective than lead as a
gamma/x-ray shield.

6. If two men bed down with each other, they shall be punished also, because the fallible are unworthy of life and its laws, and they are acting heretically; thus they shall be castrated, expelled and banished before the people.
8. Whenever inseminator and inseminator join together, life is violated and destroyed. "
I fully agree with this sentence, though:" I wish people would actually look at the actual documentation in the contact notes or watch the documentaries before making comments like this..."
Here's a general reasoning behind what you are talking about.
"Homosexuality is a natural type of sexuality that is against nature. "Natural" and "against nature" mean that homosexuality is a type of sexuality which manifests itself in a natural manner but cannot serve the law of nature through reproduction. For this reason this type of sexuality is against nature's law, respectively naturally anti-nature. Homosexuality is a genetically-induced type of sexuality and, as a consequence, is considered to be natural; however, it must be classified as anti-nature due to the inability of the participants to reproduce the species. Hence, homosexuality is called a natural, but antinature type of sexuality."
There is a more indepth explanation to be found in the FIGU website although its in German and you have to translate it yourself.
And the other quotes regarding castration are allegedly from 2000 years ago and are not condoned by FIGU or anyone for that matter in the present times as far as I know.

Can you imagine any circumstance as to why a supposedly very-powerful hand-held weapon would not have a trigger-guard? I can think of several reasons why a child's toy would not need one, but cannot figure out why an advanced weapons-building culture would not place one on a weapons such as what is being discussed.

Sorry, I don't see the "remarkable similrity" between the trigger here and the trigger on the Meier ray-gun. Maybe I'm missing something that you can see?
