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  Undecided Tongue

Every breath I take is an affront to their lofty ideals and idle Force worship… and so they seek to exterminate me.” He looked deep into Barriss Offee’s eyes, “they were not successful in purging me from the galaxy, and neither will you be.”

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.
