Hello, I want to create a working star wars blaster. I am planning on getting an airsoft gun and making it a star wars gun. What are some real gun models that are similar to star wars guns that I can use?
Thanks!

My mind immediately went to Han's blaster, but you didn't mention a specific blaster type so not sure if that's the direction you want to go. Han's is virtually a German Mauser C96 pistol (modified of course), but that's the base of it. I know little of airsoft (I'm a paintball man myself) but a quick Google search brought up the fact that they do make Airsoft pistols for the Mauser, so you're in luck.

Now if you're making a totally different blaster I'm afraid I didn't help at all  :-\ :P

The Stormtrooper E-11 blaster rifle is a modified British L2A3 Sterling sub machine gun. There are BB/paintballing replicas of this particular weapon available that can be modded to appear more screen accurate.

Here is a list of some of the Star Wars weapons and the Real Life weapon they were built/adapted from.

1.1 A180 Pistol (WE Luger P08) - Jyn Erso

Info from IMFDB.com (Internet Movie Firearm DataBase) Hope this helps.

Yeah, han's blaster pistol would be cool! I could get a mauser and put a scope on it. Thanks for all the options to work with! I think I might do dl44 or e11.
