Ec-17

One of the last things I need to pick up is the pistol, all I've got right now is the old Kenner one and I need something a little more accurate. It seems like I unfortunately missed out on the dvh blasters,the RS pistol,and praetorian hasn't seemed active in quite a long time. Are any of the 3d blasters good?

Most of the 3-D blasters I've seen are a little on the small side. If you're printing your own, you can re-scale them easy enough. The finishing work to remove the print lines can be a bit of work though.

@KOtrooper you printed your own holdout blaster right? What files did you use?

I unfortunately don't have my own printer. I just have been noticing quite a few different online sellers printing them. Most of them looked a little off to me but was looking to get a second more expert opinion.

Okay yeah, if you want to post some links of the printed blasters you've been looking at then we'd be happy to give them a look.

@MrPoopie has a pretty nice 3D blaster file available, but you'd need to find a friend or garrison mate to print it for you.

I used the files from@mrpoopie and scaled them at 112% to fit my holster.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1180750649/scout-holdout-rubber-stunt-blastet?gpla=1&gao=1& I found this etsy seller who sells rubber blasters. I know I would have to paint that,what I am assuming is a magnet,black but I haven't come across too many. A lot of the printed ones are based off the Kenner or the newer nerf pistol since they have the molded trigger..

This one looks like the old Hyperfirm mold, which you can see a review of, here: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/18225-ultimate-scout-pistol-comparison-thread/

It's a pretty inaccurate mold and oversized. It would not meet Level 2/Lancer standards.

The model for this one looks okay, but keep in mind that it'd be shipping from the UK. Personally, I tend to be somewhat reluctant when it comes to shipping something that looks like a firearm through customs, as it might get confiscated.

Thanks for the input chopper, the goal is to reach lancer so I'm trying to get as close as possible, even if that means paying a little more so I don't gotta do it again.
