Identifying Pistol from Wired Prop Shoot

[Jonathan Bowen]

Ok so this article was great but there isn't any information.

I'm looking to build a few of these and I wanted to start with this one.


So far I think its a Sig Sauer P226 used as the base. The trigger guard looks a bit off but with one reference pic its hard to tell.

Do we know what this gun is and who uses it yet? I might go ahead with a build using this as a base.

If anyone has any additional info on this gun or the base gun that was used to make it then I'd love to see what others have dug up.

It's Poe's blaster, the Glie-44.



If you follow the link in the RPF Pulse article, it will take you to the Wired article where they name all of the props.

Well if its a hero weapon then I have to build it. Thanks for the info. Now I can try to get a few more reference shots.

2nd on P226 base... I have one and they're the shizzle.

FYI. the grips on that are from govt. EU Sigs. I got a set early for cheap but for those that speculate...

Look at the trigger, that is not a SIG. It may be a toy, or airsoft based on a SIG, but it is not a real weapon. It looks to me that a lot of weapons in this movie are made from toys, or airsofts.

Some of the blasters seem to be based on the Bergmann 1896, but with subtle differences that make me think they're simply recreated in 3D.

No that's pretty obviously a cast prop... of a Sig base. Probably a cast of a Sig airsoft to be honest :/ Can't place the flash hider though I swear I've seen it somewhere before.

Thanks for the help guys! I got the guns in and started playing around. Looks like this one is a great starting point. I've put more details and started a build thread here.
