Scout472 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 So being out of projects I needed something to pass the time and so I started looking at a new blaster. I wanted something that a Scout might carry, but was also looking for something my upcoming Mando could use. I looked through all the canon blasters and wanted something with a good rate of fire and stopping power, but a lighter weapon for high mobility and use in close quarters, like urban terrain. I considered the E-11 sniper (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/E-11s_sniper_rifle) but in the same article there is a scout with a DLT-19 with an optic sight. Which got me thinking about a lighter version of the DLT-19, but I could find no references. I really liked the shape of the butt and receiver group of the DLT-19 so wanted to incorporate that into the build. So here is a non-canon, but logical progression of an in-universe weapon, I give you, the DLT-19 CARBINE. So I started with this schematic and scaled to produced the butt, pistol grip and receiver on A4 and stencilled onto timber Image has been scaled down 42% (600x308).

Then with some Dremel and sandpaper work I had crafted a reasonable facsimile of a MG-34 butt stock Image has been scaled down 22% (600x800). Click this bar to view original image (768x1024). Click image to open in new window. Having filled my lungs with pine dust I decided to inhale some plastic dust for variety. Having purchased a variety of PVC plumbing parts, and blatantly plagiarising Astyanax’s build thread from whitearmor.net I set about creating the flash suppressor and cooling jacket. The barrel will be 15mm poly pipe and the jacket is 32mm poly. The flash suppressor is a bundle of plumbing parts which have all had some form of modification or another made. As this is a lighter weapon than the DLT-19 the outer cone of the suppressor is also more heavily vented than the original. Image has been scaled down 42% (600x450).

Then using this image, I decided to reduce the barrel by about 50%, making it about 30cm (12 inches) instead of the 20.5†in the original weapon. Image has been scaled down 42% (600x450).

But here is the DLT-19 Carbine. Image has been scaled down 42% (600x450). Click this bar to view original image (1024x768).
