Brain fart… I think they are MGC’s but it’s hard to tell.

Stembridge had them at one point also.

Is that in regards to me talking about the left handed greeblies? That was my brain fart. The more I rewatch that video the more I realize it’s kind of impossible to tell what it is or isn’t. ?

 

[teecrooz]

It was. Looks like I replied and you edited at the same time. Anyway, still good reference to say it’s undecided what the guns on the ground were.

It kind of looks like the metal loop on the handle for a lanyard is missing on the one he's picking up. Only the stembridge is like that from the 4 known props. But it could be just lost in the blur.

Compare to this for example:

To me - it just makes sense that the MGC was put on the floor and the live fire stembridge was picked up for the pew pews.

Just posted some blaster pics in deadbolt and kpax amazing Hero thread. Nothing really new but always better to have a few eyes on them as different things pop out to different people. So I’ll do the same here for the rest of the DL-44’s I found within the resent prop store auction photos..

Below is not the Hoth but the Bespin. Its some new photos I’ve never seen..

Here’s the stunt..

Here you can definitely see some greeblies on Solo’s blaster. Still a mystery as what they are exactly. I’m sure we can guess as they made these two almost identical but still it would be just a guess..

Great pics. Nice shots of the droid caller and belt greeblies too.

It’s kinda cool to me how the Bespin, being a rental, seemed to float around set so much

Looks like the same calculator foot used on some scenes in ESB on Vaders MPP Belt hanger

(I’m sure this has already been said, just cool tho)

Any scene shot in and around the UK probably had at least one the Bespin’s ready and waiting I’d imagine. It’s for sure the HERO prop of TESB.

Thought this was an interesting shot. I didn't realise there was a hole in the safety...

You mean a hole in the hammer or the safety? The hammer has a hole but the safety is solid I believe.

that.. might be a reflection. I see what you mean though

Yeah, probably is just a reflection but in the Star Wars world, you just never know..

 

[chubsANDdoggers]

It’s 100% a reflection. No hole is where I’d put my money.

 

[julz]

I just find thats its a very strong, precise reflection, leaving a perfect black circular outline and theres no reflection off the hammer and slide which were a bright finish. Anyway. Just thinking out aloud...

its good to brainstorm. we really welcome it.

I don't know if you ever saw, back when we got a good shot of the V2 Lightsaber, the lever on the clamp really... and I mean really looked like it had an extra feature. Turns out it was a glare from the camera but I was sooooo convinced for years. it's hard to rule anything out from one photo, probability goes down when we have other shots of the same prop!

And it wouldn't be the first time a lower receiver was swapped out on a Star Wars live fire Mauser...

Sorry everyone. Just playing the devils advocate...
