My Greedo Killer blaster completed

Getting ready for Celebration V and have been upgrading my Han Solo ANH costume. One of the upgrades I wanted was a new blaster. I've been carrying an ESB blaster and wanted something proper for the costume.

After reading several of the threads on the forum about blasters I started contacting people about getting parts. After comparing prices for parts, availability of parts, and what I would be able to fabricate, I decided to go with the Greedo Killer version.

Corellian exports hooked me up with a grill and a set of plans for the scope mount. I found an M9 flash hider on Gunbroker on my first search. Got a Mauser off eBay for cheap. Metal bits for the mount at Sky Craft for less then $8. Had a Weaver rail and scope rings laying around.


Here are my metal bits and plans with notes converting from metric to inch.


The Weaver rail had to be cut to length, bottom sanded flat, and new notch for the scope ring cut.


Grill from Corellian exports. Very nice cast.


Found an aluminum bushing at Sky Craft that had an internal dia the exact size of the barrel where I wanted the Flash Hider to sit. The external Dia fit the Flsh Hider perfect. I rigged the bushing up to my dremal tool and used a file and sandpaper for a makeshift lathe. I turned the end down to sit inside the flash hider instead of cutting it back. Also thinned down the rear flange.


Finished the mount assembly tonight.


Test fit all parts I have.


Now I'm just waiting to get my scope from adamata once he gets his run finished. Then I do paint and final assembly.

More updates to come.

This is looking really good!

My favorite version of Han's Blaster.

Did you have to file down the Front Sight in order to attach the Flash Suppressor / Muzzle?

Thanks for the detailed pics. Can't wait to see more!

I cut the barrel back an inch. I'll have more pics of the barrel area in future updates.

Re: My Greedo Killer blaster wip

Very nice! :love

Be sure and post photos of the whole outfit at C5.

Re: My Greedo Killer blaster wip

More photos and updates.

Here is the gun all mods done and ready for parts. Didn't do a strip down and repaint so logo is still there. Just don't have anymore time to put into this other than finishing the scope when it comes. Too many other things to get ready for C V. Could get a refinish later.


Barrel cut back one inch and dressed up. Black tape used to increase end of barrel to dia of flash hider mount.


Painted, assembled and weathered. Just needs the scope.


The blaster does not fit in the holster with the flash hider in place. This is how it will sit in the holster. Flash hider will be in a vest pocket. If I want to pose for photos with the gun out I slip on the flash hider all quick like. My first time dressed as Han Solo at a con at this convention center, security stopped me to check if I had an orange tip. I had my ESB blaster at the time and of course I didn't have an orange tip. They made me put a piece of tape on it. I don't believe in orange tips. Too easy to put orange on a real gun. I would prefer security actually do their job and check things they might have a problem with rather then rely on a little piece of orange tape for peoples safety. But there it is. Only to be seen when it needs to be.


Here are some comparision shots with the screen used blaster. I tried to get the screw heads to align the same and to get the weathering fairly close.

awesome Job Skully !

Re: My Greedo Killer blaster wip

nice! this has always been my favorite Han blaster and is still on my list for future projects...

Re: My Greedo Killer blaster wip

Blaster finished and just in time for Celebration 5.


Scope as it arrived from adamata. Really nice casting.


Cleaned up and primered.


Silver base for weathering.


Semi-gloss black finish.


Scope mounted, weathered, and compare to movie blaster which is below mine.




I decided to go with weaver rings like the ones used in the movie. All the other photos you see of this blaster are from promotional shots.

If you look close you will notice the rings and front ring placement is different.

Pretty cool - that will be my 3. blaster, after i finished the 2 i´m working on.

Good job done, Sir. :cool

Great Thread!

Very nice. Loving this Greedo killer.

Nice! Great detail!

Nice blaster! If I do make one (which I hope to) the Greedo Killer will be my first one for sure!
