Re: Ep 7 Stormtrooper New Blaster Build (Pic Heavy)
My guess is the latter as so many things for the production were modeled and printed.
So yeah... it's similar... but hard to tell if they bought one and modded it in the prop department, or just bought one, modeled their own, and then 3D printing/custom-fabbed it. I'll probably go ahead and bite the bullet if for nothing more than to get a better idea of size/dimensions.
