Star Wars: Stormtrooper Blaster Collectible
With limited production, this special Stormtropper Blaster is a reproduction of the E-11 blaster rifles used by the Stormtroopers throughout the original Star Wars: A New Hope movie. The original prop was modeled after a 1950s British submachine gun. It's made of metal with ABS parts and detailing and weighs almost 30 pounds. Comes with a custom display case, numbered plaque, plaque stand and certificate of authenticity. Approximate dimensions are 21"L x 6"W x 9"H. This museum-quality replica has a blaze orange plug set inside the barrel. Please note, some states and countries do not allow shipping of replica guns in their area. It is the buyer's responsibility to ascertain the legality of purchasing and receiving this replica. The Stormtroopers were unswervingly loyal to the Emperor and represented the most visible extension of Imperial might. They served both the ground-based armies of Palpatine's forces and the space-based Imperial starfleet. Formidable in their white armor, their primary means of enforcement was the BlasTech E-11 blaster rifle.The prop makers modified the military version of a 1950s British submachine gun to create this blaster prop. To create this fearsome weapon, the prop-makers modified the gun by adding plastic T-track to cover the barrel vent holes. A metal strip was bent into shape and attached to the top of the receiver in order to attach a WWII tank azimuth scope. The original 32 round magazine for the submachine gun was shortened to hold three rounds.While many different resin stunt Stormtrooper blasters were used during filming, Master Replicas has recreated the metal hero version based upon the blank-firing submachine gun as used in A New Hope. With its heavy, steel construction, the replica weighs almost as much as the actual prop.
