Jokr Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 As the Shadow Scouts are, basically, the commandos/SEAL/SAS teams of the Empire (from what I've read, anyways) ... And, whereas, in the real-world Spec Ops, they use weapons different than "normal" forces ... (Often "indigenous" weapons that blend into the local forces, or the forces they are trying to infiltrate/mess-with) I'm looking for a larger rifle-sized blaster to compliment the boot-holdout and E-11 blasters. Short of a 4-foot sniper rifle, what are some good canon/in-universe blasters to base what I make upon? I intend to make something I can troop-with, larger than an E-11 and smaller than the DLT-19 listed in the SS CRL. Or, are those the only options for trooping? I'd love something closer to the 3-foot-ish range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Voorhees Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hm..i dunno..thats tricky size wise. I want to make a sniper rifle to use, like in the video games (Like Marcel made) ..but was also thinking about making some sort of modded E-11..buuuuut that idea hasnt gone further than "i should make a modded E-11" lol That said, ive seen troopers make "extended" E-11 sniper rifles by doing a pipe build on a longer pipe. You can then make it any length you want. Im guessing thats not canon in any way, but i think its still pretty cool and fits in universe.

Jokr Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 I know. I posted on the spec ops forum, but thought other members on here may have some ideas ... I'm still looking for images of the various film and EU weapons, esp. the DLT-20, E-17d, A280, A295, and the like. I have a nymber of airsoft/bb rifles I plan to use as cores for at least 2 usable ones & more conversions that are probably too far off canon to be approvable as replicas, even if in the correct "style" of the canon ones. - 2 styles of AR-15/M-16, one based on the Heckler & Koch 33/MP5, and one I am still trying to ID if it is based on anything real. One AR15 may be made into an A280, while the other may become something with a larger singe barrel. The non-identifiable rifle may be convertable into: or The neatest non-canon rifle, to me is (from 1966, based on H&K 33, from early 1950s): With an extended barrel, I wonder of something can be made from that shape. I also got an airsoft vz.61 Skorpion, which would make a neat heavy blaster pistol. However, it isn't related to anything in the canon I can find.
