NegativeEleven Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 This question is asked a lot: "can I build a heavy rifle (dc-15x, dlt-19, dlt-20, endor rebel blaster, e-11 sniper) and hold it as a biker scout?" I think the answer is as follows: "If you think a blaster looks cool and you would enjoy building it, then build it." What do you do with that rifle when it's built? If you have a troop where there will be a 501st table display, ask whoever is setting it up if they'd like you to bring some props to display. If it's built well, and it's true to some Star Wars source material, then he'll say yes. Then it's there, you can pick it up and take a picture or two. An event where you don't have a table display (like a parade where your garrison will want you to look more canon), you probably don't want to be stuck dragging around a large heavy rifle anyway. Look at my avatar picture. That's not cannon. I was wearing boba and had my newly finished scout helmet on display. The TD picked up the tusken head that was also on display. That TD is now our Garrison CO, and he is fine with this sort of thing. This is a fun hobby, so have fun with it while respecting the mission of the 501st. I have a box of blasters that I bring to troops. I usually have 2 DL-44's (Endor and ANH), an extra scout blaster, and Hasbro mod/repaint versions of EE-3, E-11, DC-15, and DH-17. I'm working on a MerrSonn Power 5 that will eventually be for my girlfriend's officer costume, but until she gets that sewing done, it'll be displayed on the 501st table. I'm almost done with my sniper rifle (Marcel probably won't want me to call it a DC-15, since it's more like the MG-42 or Dengar's rifle). All those go out on display, sometimes they're picked up for photos. I didn't collect these specifically to carry as a biker scout. I love having this collection and it makes the table more interesting. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thxboy Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Question: I found this CRL which appears to be older but it did have the DLT-19 as an optional weapon. http://www.501st.com...ut/index006.php Why was it removed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The only weapon for a scout which is cannon is the hold out pistol, hence the only one on the CRL. Some rifles can be used under the EU banner, but that is out of our control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
