So I saw this weird looking [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) from GB1 in a [deleted scene](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/ghostbusters/deleted-scenes). Sorry for the youtube video, there must be a higher resolution somewhere.

It looks like there is a Sniffer infront, but the pack looks weird nevertheless.

Does anyone know if this is a new GB1 pack or am I seeing things?

Not sure if I’m seeing what you’re seeing as “weird”, to me it looks like a standard Pack sat on its side.

Yeah, that’s a standard pack with a sniffer in front of the [cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron).

Nothing weird about it.

Thanks for the replies. To be frank, I do have actual slight brain damage that affects my cognition and spelling but the part I cycled in green does not appear to be the normal parapet section by the vhook.

Am I seeing things or does this section look weird.

I have a strong feeling someone is gonna say something that’s gonna make me wish I never posted this:

Considering how “dirty” the source is (this is cutting room floor material, not final production material), I’d wonder if that distortion is just because the image here is not the correct aspect ratio. If it is even a little bit off, it’s going to stretch things.

To me it looks like the normal GB1 [V-hook](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/v-hook) mounting plate with the normal slab V-hook mount attached.

I’d say it’s a mix of the pack being at an unusual angle, quality of the image, the lighting, and some stuff on the desk in the background kinda blending in with the pack.
