What was that microphone called that was shaped as a gun? I was looking at some photos of Prince singing with a oddly-shaped gun that was a microphone. He used it on his "My Name Is prince" and "Sexy MF" video. I've always wanted to know what it did and what the concept of it was. If you have any pictures of the microphone, please post them. Thank You. Check me out and add me on:

Q-What was that microphone called that was shaped as a gun?
A-Stupid. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

I just call it "the gun mic". And I sang into it in Omaha so I can verify that it does indeed function as a microphone!  | |

if you notice, P had an affinity for detaching the snap-in mic clamp from the stand. 
It gave him added maneuverability and allowed him to grip the mic, thus preventing mic droppage. (Witness this throughout PR, esp. the "Baby I'm a Star" selection.) Eventually it evolved into the mic gun that you're referring to. also seen here:
