As someone that works for a Healthcare company, I would rather see plastic meant for a toy gun being re-purposed to keep healthcare workers safe.
This wasn’t much of an issue, especially after Eelco’s Facebook post. However, in late May, 3D-Props owner, Eelco Sengers, posted a store update on their Facebook mentioning several reasons for a production slow down (one of which was dedicating their 3D printers to making face masks for healthcare workers!) which pushed out my order a few months, to late July. The description mentioned that the kit was built around a G&G CM-16 Airsoft Replica and as luck would have it, I have 2 of those in my airsoft arsenal. In April, I ordered a A280-CFE Add On kit from 3D-PropsNL’s Etsy store. Mostly though, I wanted to play airsoft with a working Star Wars Prop (again, see this post about Cosplay Combat). Maybe even get it done for Star Wars Celebration (it hadn’t been cancelled yet). With the news of SDCC being cancelled in early April, I decided to spend some of the funds I had set aside for the Con on something cool, you know instead of $11 personal pan pizzas at one of the Convention Center cafes. * I’ve made a previous post with a little more detail about the above blasters/props Right Here * Again, slightly different from the previous prop, but still using the AR-15 as a base, but this time with more variants (Pistol, Carbine, Sniper, Convertible Sniper…). These blasters were based off the Armalite AR-15 rifle.Īnd then we get to Rogue One. there are no good screenshots of this blasters…įast Forward a whole movie and we see the Rebel Infiltrators armed with a slightly different A-280 on Endor in Return of the Jedi.Unlike the A280/295 from ESB with no magazine, in an abundance of wisdom, the prop department over compensated by adding two magazines to the the blaster. These blasters were based of the WWII German STG-44 assault rifle. The blaster first appeared in Empire Strikes Back as the main battle rifle of the Echo Base defenders (this blaster was retconned to be the A-295 later).
is no one else concerned that there is no magazine on this pew? This particular model of blaster, however, has a bit of a strange history prop wise. Ahhh, the Good ‘Ole A280, back bone of the Rebel Alliances ground forces.
