Han Solo's DL-44 blaster is probably the most well known and sought after replicas on the market. Many have attempted to recreate it, but few have done it properly. My friend, Scott Juarez (of Crucible Custom Props) is one of those people. He is THE person to talk to when it comes to the DL-44 and has been behind many of the research and discoveries of the pieces and parts used on the original prop.



imgur link to build!

I wonder how many genuine Broomhandles have been butchered over the years just to appease these geeks?

Too many... At least they used a shitty Bulldog .44 for the blade runner gun. With a really expensive and obscure target rifle receiver bolted on top.

Pretty cool alright, but those slow motion shots made the barrel look like it was flexing all over the place.

The storm trooper blasters always reminded me of the beginning of an SBR.  Either they can't afford the $200 stamp, or they know that a sig brace would ruin it.

They're tools.  They're elderly, outdated, semi-reliable, junk.

Who gives a shit if they're chopped into DL44 replicas?

Seriously, people.   They're not worth this much angst.
