Solo:ASWS DL-44 Blaster/Carbine Discussion

03a2 - Comparison, side.JPG

I have the postwar "Bolo" version -- shorter barrel, smaller grip, but everything else is standard to what's gone before. That's a one-inch grid it's photographed against. Hopefully that will help until I can break out the calipers...
 
some photos of it in carbine configuration i pulled from my copy

Photos here are from after the battle at Mimban. I don’t have the Blu-Ray, only a Google Play copy so I don’t know if the extended Mimban battle sequence has better shots

There's also this 3D printed version that appeared on Etsy by a fan around the time the movie was released. obviously inaccurate, but a good starting point imo https://www.etsy.com/listing/608978180/han-solo-dl-44-inspired-carbine-with

Finally is right! Most unfortunate that they barely showed it. I did the double barrel blaster though.

Here’s hoping we get some more of the carbine! I’m probably trying to love it more than I actually do anyway. More found parts less printing please! :)
 
This is a great thread! Lots of research put in to all of this!

(Also posting so we can revitalize this thread!)
 
Found a NERF Tobias Beckett rifle for sale at Ross this weekend. Here's a close up pic of the box for some of the side detailing.

Interesting items to note:
  • The silver knobs are indeed part of an attachment system that holds the extended barrel and forward grip to the base pistol. Haven't really figured out in my mind how the mechanics work though.
  • Iron sight on the interface with the pistol barrel.
  • The forward grip components is flush with the bottom of the pistol but the magazine sticks out the bottom.
  • I believe the silver triangular greeblie area under the rifle sling mount is the same on both sides. The greeblies look like some kind of bolts or plumbing fixtures.

From Matt Savage: Here’s an animated breakdown of Han’s Blaster Rifle that we designed for Solo: a Star Wars story. This whole idea and scheme came from prop master Jamie Wilkinson who suggested we look at the actual Mauser pistol, which came with a wooded holster that became a stock.
