DH-17 ANH/Andor?

[GreyGuard38]

It looks to me like the Guards on Narkina 5 use the same DH-17's that the Rebels used in A New Hope. Does anyone know if the prop guns were actually any of the same ones used? Just curious. I need to get one someday...

They certainly weren't originals. Not least because of age but also they have subtle differences from ANH to the Andor ones.
The magazine being the main one.

They are DH-17 blasters. Variants of the DH-17 are all over Star Wars movies and series. For the discussion of prop replica purposes, the ANH original prop is very different than any other DH-17 variant seen including those you referenced in Andor.

I assume they're reused from Rogue One which were built from Airsoft S&T Sterling SMGs like the Stormtrooper Blasters, annoyingly the S&T Sterlings are annoyingly rare and expensive, from what I've seen they only do sporadic production runs of them.


If they are the same props then they've been cleaned up, repainted and had the slings and flashlights removed.

These are almost certainly the Airsoft S&T Sterlings, they have the blocky handle /trigger area that one has that's inaccurate to real ones.

I think it very possible Andor reused the R1 blaster. I also think among the changes listed, the swapped out the scope as well.

Yeah, they seem to have added regular style Singlepoint Scopes or at least swapped out the caps for more accurate ones.

This looks to be very different from the others. Not just in the add-ons but the base weapon as well.

Here's another one.

Another variant.

Funny, they must have created those singlepoints themselves, the proportions and details are all wonky!

Is that a magazine sticking out of the bottom, vaguely MP5/UMP style? Or is that something on the costume behind the weapon?

Given that it's for a bunch of background/stunt props, I would assume they're casts of some sort.

Sure looks like a magazine to me.
