Here's a Dollar Store blaster I made from scratch. I really need to start taking before pictures before I add greeblies. But here you go. Metal model car parts from Hobby Lobby are my go-to's. That and washers, and using light sockets as flash hiders.

Belgian-made 7.92mm Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) Model 30. There was also a Polish version but the grip is shaped slightly differently. Manufactured from the 1920s through at least WWII.Nice-- can you say what the ingredients are?
This is still my favorite custom. It inspired at least two RPF members to make their own, which honors me greatly.
The Vader rod later broke off, and I like it better without it.
I remember that one! That really looks like a SW blaster.
I'm surprised no one has done a Sten based blaster since a lot of Ralph Mcquarrie's concept drawings look like the characters have a Sten type blaster.
And this one - Complete scratch-build. Only thing I bought was the pipe for the vented barrel. Everything else I had in the garage. Cost about £3, but truly awful :facepalm

I should have stood back a bit with the cameraI can appreciate this one because it'll easily pass the "5 foot rule" that an old friend taught me about. He actually does prop work for some of the GA based film/TV productions now.
"If it looks good from 5 feet away, it'll look great" he used to say. :thumbsup
I made a couple recently... Both hideously ugly
This one used a toy blaster as a base, cost about £15 total:
