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 have been trying to find affordable c96 parts for just such a build...

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

Gun is cool buy Jerry is just.....
He has processed and fired 2X on the third (center) target before most people even get the 2nd round off on the first target. |

That sound is the sound of hundreds of billions of kittens screeching out in terror... then suddenly silenced....

That's seriously awesome. Has he considered making the version of the blaster used in the Greedo scene?

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.
