== Star Wars Blaster ==

Much as you might see claims on the internet that the ANH Blasters were somehow based on the BSA M1949, you have to realise how completely unrealistic that idea is. The M1949 was never produced at all, let alone in quantity, so there's no way a movie prop house could get hold of enough to equip dozens of extras with. What the guns ''actually'' are, by all accounts, is embellished non-functional rubber casts of a Sterling SMG with the magazine well removed so they could be holstered on actors' right hip more easily.

:To settle this, here is one of the ANH rubber prop guns along with a sterling:[[File:ANH DH-17.jpg|thumb|400px|none|DH-17 prop as seen in "A New Hope"]][[File:SterlingSMG.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Sterling Mk. IV Submachine Gun - 9x19mm]] There are several features which identify this as a Sterling. Firstly, the end cap on the rear of the receiver matches the Sterling although the receiver on the prop is shortened. Secondly, note the slanted rear of the ejection port which is characteristic of the Sterling. Lastly the grip panels are off of a Sterling. Also, on the BSA M1949 the receiver ends immediately in front of the magazine well, as opposed to on the prop gun where there is about an inch or two of receiver in front of the mag well (or where it would be if it wasn't removed) before the handguard starts. The shape of the handguard is also slightly wrong, stepping down slightly before it narrows as opposed to on the BSA where it is smooth. It is possible that the person who designed the prop saw the BSA M1949 and liked the look of the handguard and was inspired by that, but as far as I can tell the prop is built from Sterling casts with fabricated add on parts. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 11:11, 27 November 2012 (EST)

My first time replying on User Talk, hope I'm doing it correctly:

"The M1949 was never produced at all, let alone in quantity, so there's no way a movie prop house could get hold of enough to equip dozens of extras with." + "Also, on the BSA M1949 the receiver ends immediately in front of the magazine well, as opposed to on the prop gun where there is about an inch or two of receiver in front of the mag well (or where it would be if it wasn't removed) before the handguard starts. The shape of the handguard is also slightly wrong, stepping down slightly before it narrows as opposed to on the BSA where it is smooth.- ''I never claimed that the guns used in the films ANH or ESB were functional blank-firing BSA M1949 guns, just that they were props based on the BSA M1949 design. So no, the movie prop maker didn't have to get dozens of BSA M1949's; just one, maybe two. And the design inconsistencies you sight are irrelevant to whether or not the design of the prop was based on the BSA as I claimed in my post. The handguard is obviously, unmistakably from the BSA gun; the end "cap" on the back of the body is far more consitent with the end cap of the BSA(which had the folding stock attached to it on the functional gun but removed for the movie prop) than the end body cap of the Sterling, which did not have the folding stock attached to it in the same way. The rest of a Sterlin's design, action and configuration is essentially the same as the BSA gun; the Sterling was adopted in 1953, but designed in 1949, the same year the BSA prototype was produced. Therefore, I feel there's more than enough evidence to support the claims I made in my post''

Lenijo: /* BlasTech DH-17 Blaster Pistol */

Throughout the six films of the '''''Star Wars''''' saga, creator George Lucas was determined that the universe he envisioned would have a "lived-in" look to it. Thus, the many weapons seen in the saga are in fact visually modified or based upon real-world weapons. '''Note: This page encompasses all six films of the ''Star Wars'' saga.'''

The following lists the real-world firearms that were visually modified for use in the six films of the ''Star Wars'' saga:

[[Image:StarwarsMovieposter.jpg|thumb|600px|right|The Star Wars Saga (1977-2005)]]

__TOC__<br clear="all">

=Original Trilogy (Episodes IV, V, and VI)=
==Vostok Margolin .22LR target pistol==

In the early scenes of ''A New Hope'' and in a few scenes in ''Return of the Jedi'', Princess Leia ([[Carrie Fisher]]) can be seen with a Defender Sporting Blaster, actually a Vostok Margolin .22 LR Target Pistol, with some muzzle attachment fitted. Among other details, the ''Return of the Jedi'' version lacks the commercially available compensator that the ''A New Hope'' prop had.

[[Image:SW-Vostokpistol.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A close up of Leia's Vostok Margolin pistol in ''Return of the Jedi.'' Note that the muzzle attachment has been removed, along with a few other differences in its design.]]

==BlasTech E-11 blaster rifle (Sterling L2A3)==

Standard issue blaster rifle of the Imperial Stormtroopers. The E-11 blaster rifle props were built from the British-made [[Sterling SMG | Sterling L2A3]] submachine gun. Numerous main characters, including Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker ([[Mark Hamill]]), and Han Solo ([[Harrison Ford]]) use the weapon. Lando Calrissian ([[Billy Dee Williams]]) also uses an E-11 blaster in ''The Empire Strikes Back''. Some details differ between the three movies, most notably the method of scope attachment and battery pack beside it (or lack thereof).

A revealing mistake is that spent casings can be seen ejecting from this "blaster" rifle. It is most noticeable in the bridge swing scene of ''A New Hope'' and Lando firing at Stormtroopers in ''The Empire Strikes Back''. Rather strangely, ''Return of the Jedi'' made no use of blanks with this weapon.

==BlasTech DH-17 Blaster Pistol==

First seen in ''A New Hope'' used by Rebel troops against Stormtroopers on the blockade runner ''Tantive IV''. Later seen carried by guards and officers on the Death Star. These were nonfunctional props with the receiver and pistol grip based on casts from a Birmingham Small Arms Prototype 9 mm sub-machine gun, which was the forerunner of the Sterling SMG. Consequently, the muzzle flashes in the first scene were added in post-production. There is an interesting continuity error where a couple of guards start off carrying this weapon but then switch to the E-11, firing it one handed like a pistol no less. This is perhaps because they looked similar enough and blanks provided a better reference point for adding blaster effects later.

In ''The Empire Strike Back'', it is the weapon of a few Rebel soldiers on Hoth and a couple of guards on Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer. This time around, they were built from an actual Sterling SMG rather than a cast and have a more realistic scope attached. It is then curious why none of the props are seen firing blanks and the weapon has far less screen time than in the previous film.

==BlasTech A280 and A295 blaster rifles==

Standard issue blaster rifle of the Rebel Alliance ground forces in both ''The Empire Strikes Back'' and ''Return of the Jedi''. Both the A280 and A295 blaster rifle props were CAST FROM replicas similar to (built from) both the World War 2-era German [[Sturmgewehr 44]] (''The Empire Strikes Back'') and from the [[M16]] series rifles (''Return of the Jedi'').

==DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle (MG34)==

Standard issue heavy blaster of the Imperial Stormtroopers. The DLT-19s were nothing more than World War II German [[MG34]] general purpose machine guns with little to no modifications to its external appearance.

[[Image:MG15.jpg|thumb|none|500px|MG15 machine gun 7.92x57mm Mauser]]

==DL-44 Blastech blaster pistol==
The DL-44 blaster pistol was the blaster of choice for Han Solo ([[Harrison Ford]]) and the Rebel Alliance. The weapon is seen wielded by Luke Skywalker ([[Mark Hamill]]) throughout ''The Empire Strikes Back''. Possibly the best known duplicate of a real gun, the DL-44 blaster pistol prop was built from a 9mm [[Mauser C96]] handgun, sometimes with a sniper scope. The modifications are obviously added on to the exterior, though the distinct "broomhandle" grips are still wooden.

==Ion blaster==
The Ion blaster utilized by the Jawa who shot R2-D2 in ''A New Hope'' was built from a cut-down British [[SMLE|Lee-Enfield No.1 MkIII*]] series bolt-action rifle with the grenade launcher cup attached to the shortened barrel.

[[Image:SMLE.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* - .303 British. This was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces during the First World War, introduced in 1907 it has seen action throughout the 20th century.]]

[[Image:StarWars-jawablaster2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Jawa with the Jawa blaster as he calls out his fellow Jawas.]]

== Boba Fett's EE-3 Blaster Carbine==
The prop Boba Fett uses in the films is a modified Webley & Scott No.1 Mark 1 Flare Gun. In ''The Empire Strikes Back'' the barrel was rather simple looking. In ''Return of the Jedi'' it has a more distinctive barrel and the scope is actually mounted backwards to where it was before!

== Ponda Baba's SE-14C blaster pistol ==
The SE-14C blaster pistol is carried by Dr. Evazan and, with scope removed, his crime partner Ponda Baba in ''A New Hope''. They draw these weapons after provoking a fight with Luke Skywalker at the Mos Eisley cantina. It was built from a Swiss Rexim-Favor Mk5 submachine gun with the stock, barrel, and magazine removed and has a double sniper scope attached.

=Prequel Trilogy (Episodes I, II, and III)=
==S-5 Blaster Pistol==
In Episode I ''The Phantom Menace'', the Naboo troops used this weapon that was based around a Walther LP300 Model Air Gun.

==DC-15A Heavy Plasma Rifle==
Manufactured by BlasTech Industries, the DC-15-series was a range of plasma weapons used by the Republic clone troopers during the Clone Wars in Episode II ''Attack of the Clones'' and Episode III ''Revenge of the Sith''. Although entirely computer-generated (as are all the Clone Troopers, no costumes were manufactured,) its design is based on parts from the German [[MG34]] making up the rear half, as well as much of the [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] turned upside-down for the front.

==DC-15S Compact Plasma Rifle==
Like the M16 has the M4, the DC-15A has the DC-15S. It is basically a compacted version (a "carbine" if you will) of the DC-15, lacking some of the range but making up for it in ease of use and portability. It is usually seen in the hands of officers, most notably Commander Bacara when he and the Galactic Marines kill Ki-Adi-Mundi, as well as in the hands of many regular clone troopers (the design of the DC-15S carbine would later influence the design and development of the E-11 blaster rifle used by the Imperial Stormtroopers in Episodes IV-VI). As this weapon is computer generated, what it is based upon (if any) is currently unknown; its similarity to the E-11 suggests it was based on the [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] as well.

Throughout the six films of the '''''Star Wars''''' saga, creator George Lucas was determined that the universe he envisioned would have a "lived-in" look to it. Thus, the many weapons seen in the saga are in fact visually modified or based upon real-world weapons. '''Note: This page encompasses all six films of the ''Star Wars'' saga.'''

The following lists the real-world firearms that were visually modified for use in the six films of the ''Star Wars'' saga:

==Vostok Margolin .22LR target pistol==

In the early scenes of ''A New Hope'' and in a few scenes in ''Return of the Jedi'', Princess Leia ([[Carrie Fisher]]) can be seen with a Defender Sporting Blaster, actually a Vostok Margolin .22 LR Target Pistol, with some muzzle attachment fitted. Among other details, the ''Return of the Jedi'' version lacks the commercially available compensator that the ''A New Hope'' prop had.

Numerous main characters, including Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker ([[Mark Hamill]]), and Han Solo ([[Harrison Ford]]) use the weapon.

A revealing mistake is that spent casings can be seen ejecting from this "blaster" rifle. It is most noticeable in the bridge swing scene of ''A New Hope'' and Lando firing at Stormtroopers in ''The Empire Strikes Back''. Rather strangely, ''Return of the Jedi'' made no use of blanks with this weapon.

==BlasTech DH-17 Blaster Pistol==

First seen in ''A New Hope'' used by Rebel troops against Stormtroopers on the blockade runner ''Tantive IV''. Later seen carried by guards and officers on the Death Star. These were nonfunctional props with the receiver and pistol grip based on casts from a Sterling SMG. Consequently, the muzzle flashes in the first scene were added in post-production. There is an interesting continuity error where a couple of guards start off carrying this weapon but then switch to the E-11, firing it one handed like a pistol no less. This is perhaps because they looked similar enough and blanks provided a better reference point for adding blaster effects later.

In ''The Empire Strike Back'', it is the weapon of a few Rebel soldiers on Hoth and a couple of guards on Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer. This time around, they were built from an actual Sterling SMG rather than a cast and have a more realistic scope attached. It is then curious why none of the props are seen firing blanks and the weapon has far less screen time than in the previous film.

==BlasTech A280 and A295 blaster rifles==

Standard issue blaster rifle of the Rebel Alliance ground forces in both ''The Empire Strikes Back'' and ''Return of the Jedi''. Both the A280 and A295 blaster rifle props were CAST FROM replicas similar to (built from) both the World War 2-era German [[Sturmgewehr 44]] (''The Empire Strikes Back'') and from the [[M16]] series rifles (''Return of the Jedi'').

==DL-44 Blastech blaster pistol==
The DL-44 blaster pistol was the blaster of choice for Han Solo ([[Harrison Ford]]) and the Rebel Alliance. The weapon is seen wielded by Luke Skywalker ([[Mark Hamill]]) throughout ''The Empire Strikes Back''. Possibly the best known duplicate of a real gun, the DL-44 blaster pistol prop was built from a 9mm [[Mauser C96]] handgun, sometimes with a sniper scope. The modifications are obviously added on to the exterior, though the distinct "broomhandle" grips are still wooden.

The Ion blaster utilized by the Jawa who shot R2-D2 in ''A New Hope'' was built from a cut-down British [[SMLE|Lee-Enfield No.1 MkIII*]] series bolt-action rifle with the grenade launcher cup attached to the shortened barrel.

[[Image:SMLE.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* - .303 British. This was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces during the First World War, introduced in 1907 it has seen action throughout the 20th century.]]

== Boba Fett's EE-3 Blaster Carbine==
The prop Boba Fett uses in the films is a modified Webley & Scott No.1 Mark 1 Flare Gun. In ''The Empire Strikes Back'' the barrel was rather simple looking. In ''Return of the Jedi'' it has a more distinctive barrel and the scope is actually mounted backwards to where it was before!

== Ponda Baba's SE-14C blaster pistol ==
The SE-14C blaster pistol is carried by Dr. Evazan and, with scope removed, his crime partner Ponda Baba in ''A New Hope''. They draw these weapons after provoking a fight with Luke Skywalker at the Mos Eisley cantina. It was built from a Swiss Rexim-Favor Mk5 submachine gun with the stock, barrel, and magazine removed and has a double sniper scope attached.

=Prequel Trilogy (Episodes I, II, and III)=
==S-5 Blaster Pistol==
In Episode I ''The Phantom Menace'', the Naboo troops used this weapon that was based around a Walther LP300 Model Air Gun.

==DC-15A Heavy Plasma Rifle==
Manufactured by BlasTech Industries, the DC-15-series was a range of plasma weapons used by the Republic clone troopers during the Clone Wars in Episode II ''Attack of the Clones'' and Episode III ''Revenge of the Sith''. Although entirely computer-generated (as are all the Clone Troopers, no costumes were manufactured,) its design is based on parts from the German [[MG34]] making up the rear half, as well as much of the [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] turned upside-down for the front.

[[Image:DC-15A-StarWars5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Galactic Marines aim their DC-15A heavy blaster rifles at Ki-Adi-Mundi after Order 66 was issued.]]

==DC-15S Compact Plasma Rifle==
Like the M16 has the M4, the DC-15A has the DC-15S. It is basically a compacted version (a "carbine" if you will) of the DC-15, lacking some of the range but making up for it in ease of use and portability. It is usually seen in the hands of officers, most notably Commander Bacara when he and the Galactic Marines kill Ki-Adi-Mundi, as well as in the hands of many regular clone troopers (the design of the DC-15S carbine would later influence the design and development of the E-11 blaster rifle used by the Imperial Stormtroopers in Episodes IV-VI). As this weapon is computer generated, what it is based upon (if any) is currently unknown; its similarity to the E-11 suggests it was based on the [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] as well.

Lenijo: /* BlasTech DH-17 Blaster Pistol */

Throughout the six films of the '''''Star Wars''''' saga, creator George Lucas was determined that the universe he envisioned would have a "lived-in" look to it. Thus, the many weapons seen in the saga are in fact visually modified or based upon real-world weapons. '''Note: This page encompasses all six films of the ''Star Wars'' saga.'''

The following lists the real-world firearms that were visually modified for use in the six films of the ''Star Wars'' saga:

[[Image:StarwarsMovieposter.jpg|thumb|600px|right|The Star Wars Saga (1977-2005)]]

__TOC__<br clear="all">

=Original Trilogy (Episodes IV, V, and VI)=
==Vostok Margolin .22LR target pistol==

In the early scenes of ''A New Hope'' and in a few scenes in ''Return of the Jedi'', Princess Leia ([[Carrie Fisher]]) can be seen with a Defender Sporting Blaster, actually a Vostok Margolin .22 LR Target Pistol, with some muzzle attachment fitted. Among other details, the ''Return of the Jedi'' version lacks the commercially available compensator that the ''A New Hope'' prop had.

[[Image:SW-Vostokpistol.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A close up of Leia's Vostok Margolin pistol in ''Return of the Jedi.'' Note that the muzzle attachment has been removed, along with a few other differences in its design.]]

==BlasTech E-11 blaster rifle (Sterling L2A3)==

Standard issue blaster rifle of the Imperial Stormtroopers. The E-11 blaster rifle props were built from the British-made [[Sterling SMG | Sterling L2A3]] submachine gun. Numerous main characters, including Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker ([[Mark Hamill]]), and Han Solo ([[Harrison Ford]]) use the weapon. Lando Calrissian ([[Billy Dee Williams]]) also uses an E-11 blaster in ''The Empire Strikes Back''. Some details differ between the three movies, most notably the method of scope attachment and battery pack beside it (or lack thereof).

A revealing mistake is that spent casings can be seen ejecting from this "blaster" rifle. It is most noticeable in the bridge swing scene of ''A New Hope'' and Lando firing at Stormtroopers in ''The Empire Strikes Back''. Rather strangely, ''Return of the Jedi'' made no use of blanks with this weapon.

==BlasTech DH-17 Blaster Pistol==

First seen in ''A New Hope'' used by Rebel troops against Stormtroopers on the blockade runner ''Tantive IV''. Later seen carried by guards and officers on the Death Star. These were nonfunctional props with the receiver and pistol grip based on casts from the Prototype B.S.A (Birmingham Small Arms Company) 9mm submachine gun Consequently, the muzzle flashes in the first scene were added in post-production. There is an interesting continuity error where a couple of guards start off carrying this weapon but then switch to the E-11, firing it one handed like a pistol no less. This is perhaps because they looked similar enough and blanks provided a better reference point for adding blaster effects later.

In ''The Empire Strike Back'', it is the weapon of a few Rebel soldiers on Hoth and a couple of guards on Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer. This time around, they were built from an actual Sterling SMG rather than a cast and have a more realistic scope attached. It is then curious why none of the props are seen firing blanks and the weapon has far less screen time than in the previous film.

==BlasTech A280 and A295 blaster rifles==

Standard issue blaster rifle of the Rebel Alliance ground forces in both ''The Empire Strikes Back'' and ''Return of the Jedi''. Both the A280 and A295 blaster rifle props were CAST FROM replicas similar to (built from) both the World War 2-era German [[Sturmgewehr 44]] (''The Empire Strikes Back'') and from the [[M16]] series rifles (''Return of the Jedi'').

== Ponda Baba's SE-14C blaster pistol ==
The SE-14C blaster pistol is carried by Dr. Evazan and, with scope removed, his crime partner Ponda Baba in ''A New Hope''. They draw these weapons after provoking a fight with Luke Skywalker at the Mos Eisley cantina. It was built from a Swiss Rexim-Favor Mk5 submachine gun with the stock, barrel, and magazine removed and has a double sniper scope attached.

==S-5 Blaster Pistol==
In Episode I ''The Phantom Menace'', the Naboo troops used this weapon that was based around a Walther LP300 Model Air Gun.

==DC-15A Heavy Plasma Rifle==
Manufactured by BlasTech Industries, the DC-15-series was a range of plasma weapons used by the Republic clone troopers during the Clone Wars in Episode II ''Attack of the Clones'' and Episode III ''Revenge of the Sith''. Although entirely computer-generated (as are all the Clone Troopers, no costumes were manufactured,) its design is based on parts from the German [[MG34]] making up the rear half, as well as much of the [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] turned upside-down for the front.

==DC-15S Compact Plasma Rifle==
Like the M16 has the M4, the DC-15A has the DC-15S. It is basically a compacted version (a "carbine" if you will) of the DC-15, lacking some of the range but making up for it in ease of use and portability. It is usually seen in the hands of officers, most notably Commander Bacara when he and the Galactic Marines kill Ki-Adi-Mundi, as well as in the hands of many regular clone troopers (the design of the DC-15S carbine would later influence the design and development of the E-11 blaster rifle used by the Imperial Stormtroopers in Episodes IV-VI). As this weapon is computer generated, what it is based upon (if any) is currently unknown; its similarity to the E-11 suggests it was based on the [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] as well.

Lenijo: /* BlasTech DH-17 Blaster Pistol */

Throughout the six films of the '''''Star Wars''''' saga, creator George Lucas was determined that the universe he envisioned would have a "lived-in" look to it. Thus, the many weapons seen in the saga are in fact visually modified or based upon real-world weapons. '''Note: This page encompasses all six films of the ''Star Wars'' saga.'''

The following lists the real-world firearms that were visually modified for use in the six films of the ''Star Wars'' saga:

[[Image:StarwarsMovieposter.jpg|thumb|600px|right|The Star Wars Saga (1977-2005)]]

__TOC__<br clear="all">

=Original Trilogy (Episodes IV, V, and VI)=
==Vostok Margolin .22LR target pistol==

In the early scenes of ''A New Hope'' and in a few scenes in ''Return of the Jedi'', Princess Leia ([[Carrie Fisher]]) can be seen with a Defender Sporting Blaster, actually a Vostok Margolin .22 LR Target Pistol, with some muzzle attachment fitted. Among other details, the ''Return of the Jedi'' version lacks the commercially available compensator that the ''A New Hope'' prop had.

[[Image:SW-Vostokpistol.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A close up of Leia's Vostok Margolin pistol in ''Return of the Jedi.'' Note that the muzzle attachment has been removed, along with a few other differences in its design.]]

==BlasTech E-11 blaster rifle (Sterling L2A3)==

Standard issue blaster rifle of the Imperial Stormtroopers. The E-11 blaster rifle props were built from the British-made [[Sterling SMG | Sterling L2A3]] submachine gun. Numerous main characters, including Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker ([[Mark Hamill]]), and Han Solo ([[Harrison Ford]]) use the weapon. Lando Calrissian ([[Billy Dee Williams]]) also uses an E-11 blaster in ''The Empire Strikes Back''. Some details differ between the three movies, most notably the method of scope attachment and battery pack beside it (or lack thereof).

A revealing mistake is that spent casings can be seen ejecting from this "blaster" rifle. It is most noticeable in the bridge swing scene of ''A New Hope'' and Lando firing at Stormtroopers in ''The Empire Strikes Back''. Rather strangely, ''Return of the Jedi'' made no use of blanks with this weapon.

==BlasTech DH-17 Blaster Pistol==

First seen in ''A New Hope'' used by Rebel troops against Stormtroopers on the blockade runner ''Tantive IV''. Later seen carried by guards and officers on the Death Star. These were nonfunctional props with the receiver and pistol grip based on casts from the Prototype B.S.A (Birmingham Small Arms Company) 9mm submachine gun Consequently, the muzzle flashes in the first scene were added in post-production. There is an interesting continuity error where a couple of guards start off carrying this weapon but then switch to the E-11, firing it one handed like a pistol no less. This is perhaps because they looked similar enough and blanks provided a better reference point for adding blaster effects later.

In ''The Empire Strike Back'', it is the weapon of a few Rebel soldiers on Hoth and a couple of guards on Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer. This time around, they were built from an actual Sterling SMG rather than a cast and have a more realistic scope attached. It is then curious why none of the props are seen firing blanks and the weapon has far less screen time than in the previous film.

==BlasTech A280 and A295 blaster rifles==

Standard issue blaster rifle of the Rebel Alliance ground forces in both ''The Empire Strikes Back'' and ''Return of the Jedi''. Both the A280 and A295 blaster rifle props were CAST FROM replicas similar to (built from) both the World War 2-era German [[Sturmgewehr 44]] (''The Empire Strikes Back'') and from the [[M16]] series rifles (''Return of the Jedi'').

==DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle (MG34)==

Standard issue heavy blaster of the Imperial Stormtroopers. The DLT-19s were nothing more than World War II German [[MG34]] general purpose machine guns with little to no modifications to its external appearance.

[[Image:MG15.jpg|thumb|none|500px|MG15 machine gun 7.92x57mm Mauser]]

==DL-44 Blastech blaster pistol==
The DL-44 blaster pistol was the blaster of choice for Han Solo ([[Harrison Ford]]) and the Rebel Alliance. The weapon is seen wielded by Luke Skywalker ([[Mark Hamill]]) throughout ''The Empire Strikes Back''. Possibly the best known duplicate of a real gun, the DL-44 blaster pistol prop was built from a 9mm [[Mauser C96]] handgun, sometimes with a sniper scope. The modifications are obviously added on to the exterior, though the distinct "broomhandle" grips are still wooden.

==Ion blaster==
The Ion blaster utilized by the Jawa who shot R2-D2 in ''A New Hope'' was built from a cut-down British [[SMLE|Lee-Enfield No.1 MkIII*]] series bolt-action rifle with the grenade launcher cup attached to the shortened barrel.

[[Image:SMLE.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* - .303 British. This was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces during the First World War, introduced in 1907 it has seen action throughout the 20th century.]]

== Boba Fett's EE-3 Blaster Carbine==
The prop Boba Fett uses in the films is a modified Webley & Scott No.1 Mark 1 Flare Gun. In ''The Empire Strikes Back'' the barrel was rather simple looking. In ''Return of the Jedi'' it has a more distinctive barrel and the scope is actually mounted backwards to where it was before!

The SE-14C blaster pistol is carried by Dr. Evazan and, with scope removed, his crime partner Ponda Baba in ''A New Hope''. They draw these weapons after provoking a fight with Luke Skywalker at the Mos Eisley cantina. It was built from a Swiss Rexim-Favor Mk5 submachine gun with the stock, barrel, and magazine removed and has a double sniper scope attached.
