DLT-20a Blaster Rifle

[Jokr]

I'm working in making some blaster rifles, to build up a small arsenal. As the first ones won't, obviously, be as well made as later ones I make (as I learn skills, make mistakes, and gain experience.

Still, I'm working to make them based on something "real." as opposed to fantasy stuff.

 

I got some broken airsoft lots from Ebay. Those, might as well be the basis for my lessons. My model skills are rusty after a decade of non-use (small kids and models don't mix well), so there will be a learning curve, Also, I lack a shop and related tools that would make it easy, so this will be interesting ...

 

For the first 2, it seems that the Battlefront E-17d sniper rifle could be made from one of the AR-15/M-16s,

 

The other initial attempt is based on a Crosman Stinger S32PC (I finally figured out what it is). This one looks to be a decent "core" for a decent DLT-20a.

 

The problem, for me, is finding source material to make them "accurate."

 

Anyone have access to dimensions or details for the DLT-20?

 

I've seen and collected a few images, but they are either lower resolution (wherein I can't tell the details) or look to be be "off" compared to the real-prop images.

 

What is the correct length?

The only number I've seen is 62", which seems absurd as the other similar-scaled stuff is more 42-54" long.

 

Any info would be helpful.

Here is what I'm making them from, Hasbro E-11 foe scale:

 

Playing with PVC to see what fits, physically.

The bottom black barrel on the clear gun unscrews, so it can either be handle/barrel support or removed entirely.

he AR has a 1 1/4" barrel- to see if can work for the E-17

The Stinger has a 1" barrel, with a small one laid on top.

 

For a full conversion, I need to mount the barrel to the core, plus add holes on it.

The top barrel will tie across the top to the base of the scope.

I will shroud and detail the core, with correct-looking greebles.

The stock will need a box around it, and a triangular butt, Though, I like the looks of the T-style Hoth and Endor rebel guns (A280/A295).

 

The E-17 looks like:

 

The DLT-20 is this one:

To hit the correct measurements of a DLT-20a look at the

 

GERMAN MP44 / Sturmgewehr 44 / Stg.44

 

because it is the used "basis" for this blaster rifle.

As Aig said the body is from an stg44,the barrel is from a Browning m1919 with and endcap that seems like the e 11,but im not quite sure of it.The stock is fan made and the scope is a singlepoint,the same of scout blaster with some modifications.Hope to be of some help
