Rey's Gun TFA

[newmagrathea]

Just saw this new TV spot with a couple new scenes and scoped this gun.



And this is the trailer I spotted it in.

There also appears to be a stormtrooper with an energy weapon fighting Finn and his lightsaber.

Hmmm, that's a very Mauser-y looking handle there...

 

[newmagrathea]

Yes, there are parts that are mauser-y, but it does have a scratch built vibe to it. I really dig the flash hider.

Alright for laellee working on a model for 3D printing... There's a couple more shots of it in coloring books, etc, but that pic of it behind glass is the first up close clear shot I've seen! Good catch!

 

[VeryExciting]

Here's the coloring book shots I posted before...

Grip does look a bit like something leftover from the HFC airsoft mauser

Reminds me of the Dark Forces bryar pistol

Glad to finally see some pictures. I have been asking about this blaster since early September at http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=246459

I think Rey's Blaster is my favourite TFA prop so far

I'm really hoping someone is going to do a run of these in metal at some point

I love the Mauser style grip

Definitely needs to be done in metal.

Its a neat design, however for some reason I can't shake the feeling that I've seen this design some where else.

I think it looks vaguely like a Chiss charric:

Is this Poe's weapon?

Negative. This is Poe's blaster:

I get the feeling that the person who put together this particular example above goofed and screwed the grips onto the opposite sides of where they should be. The top edges are angled differently on most handguns.

It definitely looks like something that could be scratch-built.
I'm thinking the trigger assembly could be built with a MDF core with sheet-metal cladding. Around the edge, use a really thin strip around the grip, and use a really thick piece of sheet metal for the trigger guard.

My favorite new blaster so far. It's new, but feels old.

Looks like it could have been made from a modified linear actuator... Or inspired by one.

With her being someone that supposedly salvages, I wonder if this is a one off gun that nobody has. Perhaps made from parts from other broken guns. Was there no plaque to tell about the gun in the display?
