A gyro gun (or gyro-gun) is a type of blaster, used by Swindles of various universes. It is not as large as his scatter blaster, but it DOES allow him to disrupt the balance center of any Transformer, destabilizing their equilibrium long enough for him to make a clean getaway. Snapdragon also carries a pair of gyro-guns which can discombobulate their targets by robbing them of their sense of balance.
