- Adam has constructed a Blade Runner pistol and Indiana Jones' revolver, but not Han Solo's blaster from Star Wars A New Hope. Fortunately, the makers at the Replica Prop Forum have thoroughly researched the details of this prop and have faithfully recreated the components needed to build it. Adam and Norm run through the blaster's signature details and then work together to assemble this iconic space gun.

Star Wars fans discovered that Luke's lightsaber prop was constructed from a Graflex Camera Flash Handle, which lead to a spike in demand and prices rising for this piece of vintage camera equipment.
just wanted to let you know that some world war 1 era mausers had scopes from the manufacturer
Mauser where never used in ww2.
I forgot I type this I know better now
@@koolaidmanwithariotshield5080 No they were used in both WW1 And WW2
Tomb plays Games they were more common in combat in w.w.1
Arttilx more common in military combat in WW1, but knock-offs were actually very common amongst Chinese citizens during and post WW1. Lots of resistance groups against the Japanese and Russos had fake Mauser pistols. Mausers were used extensively in both wars, it just depends on your circumstances. You wouldn’t see a Mauser on the Western front of WW2, or even the German-Russian lines of WW2, but you would find them in the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, or when the Russians invaded China soon after the war.
I'd love to see Adam design and build a brand new Star Wars themed gun, something that could've existed in the SW universe, but doesn't.
TotalMetalJacket It's unreal how much I would actually want to watch Adam delve into that process.
+Jayton Hawkins ه
Boba Fetts ?
+Jayton Hawkins dood, just have someone hire Adam to do that, and it will exsist within the SW universe.
Why not design a replica Millennium Falcon!!!
13:03 Adam savage says "Fucking Perfect"
My life is complete!
Best moment ever
Just have a button to push with that audio clip, that would be amazing
I know right!
That's up there with "There's your problem!" for me now :D
Thank you TH-cam Algorithm for bringing this to me 5 years after-the-fact!
Lmao just heard that had to come to the comments to see if anyone else caught it 😂 love it
Notice how absolutely focused Adam is in this? Talk about passion.
Norm did his research so well that it left Adam speechless... the look of a proud teach watching his student explain a lesson.
Adams heart was filled with teacher joy

"It's just a cheapo $150 one"
What
Well he's minted so it is all a matter of perspective
Uraneum 150 is really cheap for a replica, most of them are expensive as shit. Like that other made by Master Replicas, over 300 bucks.
I know really? Lol
Uraneum Yeah 150$ is pretty cheap in the world of good replicas. Adam is obviously very experienced and he knows the difference in prices ranges and the quality. If you want a good starter replica, 150$ is where you start and slowly work up to really really nice ones if you wanna you could just stay there if ur happy with it. Adam sounds like some rich guy goin "Hmm well 100$ is cheap" but thats literally the cheapest your gonna get a nice replica for.
+Uraneum i dont think he meant the $150 is pocket change. i think he meant that in the world of replicas, $150 for an item is on the lower end.
It's so fascinating to see their shared passion.
The moment i love is when the parts are revealed and the first thing Adam examines isn't an intricate piece of metalwork or small detail piece but the scope, which appears to be the most straightforward and simple part of the whole kit. I love it because Adam went for it specifically because it's the simplest part, and so it's the one with the greatest difficulty in being just *so*.
In the words of another, "you have chosen wisely." That's not the cup of a carpenter.
"why would it be a flat-bottom?" "it was milled that way". What a genius answer. Adam wisely decided to continue..
Genius way of saying, "I don't know that part..."
Sounds like time for a Forgotten Weapons crossover episode.
It was flat bottomed to enable the gun to be disassembled. The C96's upper slides back once the inner frame is removed, and with the bull barrel (which lets a longer rifle barrel be screwed unto it) being centered on the original bore a non-flat bottomed barrel would hang down low enough to where the upper receiver couldn't be slid off. So the barrel's bottom was milled flat to the right clearance depth.
And today, as a 22 year old man, I heard my childhood hero swear for the first time. I can live now.
real
Haha I know right???? It's a lot better than just hearing beeps when he talks.
Adam Savage is the perfect combination of child and adult.
Yossi Lipton yeah perfectly stuck in the middle.
aka a bugman
"When you get into the accuracy of the Han Solo blaster, you're delving into an area of esoterica and specificity that I have never even traipsed into." Now that is some esoteric Vocabulary.
For those who didnt understand 5:41 reference; the original luke skywalker lighsaber is made from a vintage flash handle with some additions. Before the movie photograph fanatics could buy these flashes from about 10 dollars, but now they are over 1000 dollars because thats what they used for the lightsaber.
JohnDoe both Luke and Vader were- they made several different styles. When I was a kid I was at my grandparents house one day going through my dads vintage photography equipment and I found several Graflex 3-cell handles; not knowing what they were I was in complete awe that my father had a whole drawer full of lightsabers 🙃
Michael Serebreny were any of them ever passed down to you?
Amazing how people spend so much time on recreating guns from the original trio lift when they were literally adding scraps together to make the guns look "less realistic to our world"
That's prop replicating in general. It's like trying to perfectly replicate a Jackson Pollock painting: you'll spend weeks replicating something he did in minutes.
Yeah. And now every gun, costume and prop that make it to the films are designed not only to work within the cinematic universe but to be turned into products (colletibles and toys) for fans to buy.
@@gustavofigueiredo1798 It's always funny to me to think that when someone designed the graflex flash, they never would have thought it would be being marketed as a laser sword 70 years later.
I think its hilarious how some fans care so much more about the aesthetics and minute details of props than filmmakers themselves.
JimIBobIJones These are people who have WAY too much time on their hands....Reminds me of the scene in the movie "Rockstar" with Mark Wahlberg when confronting the other cover band about how their outfits aren't correct...lol.....
michael cochrane happens all the time. Heck, there are fans who meet stars and dismiss them as impersonators. The fans perspective is all that matters to some.
JimIBobIJones That is always the case with any reproduction project. When you're making an original of something, you can make it any way you want to. _Accurately_ reproducing that original is a lot trickier. For example, suppose a toddler scribbled all over a piece of paper for 10 seconds. You could make a similar looking scribble in the same 10 seconds, but what if, for whatever reason, you wanted to accurately reproduce the original scribble? It could take hours, weeks, months, or even years, depending on the level of accuracy you are striving for.
MaximRecoil The detail or care that went into the original Star Wars props is nowhere near the obsession of fans. Han's blaster was 3 or 4 VERY different props rather than one gun and characters regularly have different costumes between shots. Tell me fans aren't overly obsessed with details :I
JimIBobIJones
You obviously missed the point of my post, which is why your reply is irrelevant. I suggest you re-read my post.
"Fucking perfect, is what that is". hahaha
Best part of the video was Adam's F-bomb. lol
"Fucking perfect, excuse me"
th-cam.com/video/4sCReGjfZ_A/w-d-xo.html
I was so surprised when he broke out
Tim Saxon read that just 5 seconds before he said it 😂😂
I think a close second was the Donnie Darko Frank mask in the background lol
What a beautiful prop Norm! You are so lucky to have a friend like Adam to help construct the blaster! Very fun to watch you both put it together. Lots of research really makes a difference in the final piece. Well done.
I never though in a million years I would hear Adam Savage say a curse word, and have it not be censored, I was laughing way too hard when he said, 'Fucking perfect!'
I have a lot of respect for Norm idk really who he is cuz im new to this channel but the research he did and how interested he is really shows and it's rad!
Adam on the scope: "Fuckin' perfect, thats what that is!" 13:02
Dude, this guy made Adam Savage nerd out. He's got some talent.
6:17 Adam trying to figure out how to cycle a c96 :p
Lol, the barrel and receiver only cycle a fraction of an inch and the bolt is what moves back and forth. Just watched a Hickok45 review on one. Otherwise I might have been doing the same thing.
It feels good to nerd out this hard! I totally respect and appreciate the tremendous amount of research and dedication given by all the real fans who helped contribute to this success!
I have nowhere near the obsession levels to do something like this but I still find something charming in how enthusiastic they all are.
Adam looks so different on TH-cam... looks like a master craftsman. While he's kinda the comedy relief on MythBusters. I like how serious he... HE SAID FUCK!
Release the balloons!
I had no idea I had been watching these videos for 8 years. Absolutely love them.
This video when it came out inspired me to make one my self. I used a mouser air soft gun and parts I made. I love it. Thank tested.
One Day Builds: Han Solo's DL-44 Blaster from Star Wars bit.ly/13DG7E8
Awesome :)
Matt Heilman the besst
I honestly didn't know Solo's blaster was based of the C96 or the Mauser R713
Jack Hammar it explains why he shot first, just saying.
Lord Langford That's completely unrelated.
I love seeing people with such passion for things they do. Not bothered if it's considered nerdy, I really enjoyed watching these pair having genuine enthusiasm for making this replica.
As much as I love your expertise in modelling and crafting, your vocabulary is worthwhile to listen to.
This is neat Norm talking and Adam going wow and being intrigued and asking questions.
this replica gun will confuse people and aliens thousands of years from now when they dig it up
finally get to hear him say fuck
That was the best part.
bleep lol
Adam is pretty savage for calling a 150$ dollar replica cheap and rocking that 6000$ watch
Cheap in context with other ones. Some can rocket to 2k USD or more...
It’s in his name after all
@Jay The original prop sold for half a million dollars. The direct casts of it cost thousands.
you can tell that Norm is totally fanned-out working on this prop. one of my favorite tested videos, i keep watching it
"fucking perfect is what that is" @ 13:02 lol
Chuck Reynolds Heh, I caught that too, had to laugh. It's not often you hear Adam swear.
I came down here to comment the same thing but you beat me to it.
lol Matthew Reagan sorry. quick on the draw.
haha its weird actually hearing adam swear :O
Chuck Reynolds
How the fuck are you verified? You have like 500 subscribers!
How... how did I get here?
Still one of my favorite videos of all time... Nice work !!
I just discovered this channel June 2018 and I love it
YES!! Finally he said fuck.
WEHN??!
+Gustajuy
13:02
+vinzhell I couldn't believe it lol
+vinzhell i had to turn it up when i heard that because I couldnt believe it myself LOL "FUCKING perfect is what that is" lol
+vinzhell no I'm sorry he said fuckin not fuck
Excellent! Awesome to see a different perspective of Adam. I thoroughly enjoyed this!
One day build, 500 hours research :-)
chris4072511 Isn’t that the story of all prop replica builds?
something about the sound of perfectly matching metal put together i love the sound so much idk why.
13:01 First time I've ever actually heard Adam swear (usually it's bleeped). It's like seeing a double rainbow.
whoah, I just heard Adam Savage say "fuck." I grew up watching this guy and this is THE first time I've heard him swear. neat.
Michael Quinn childish
come at me scrublord I'm ripped
Michael Quinn so scared. Probably just another fat 11 year old troll...
I'M ALMOST 13 LOSER. AND I'M FUCKIN JACKED. I LIFT MY DAD'S WIEHGTS AND DRINK REDBULL CAUSE I'M NOT A LITTLE SCRUBLORD LIKE U.
Michael Quinn hahaha aww aren't you cute! Im 15 and deadlift 120kg
This is levels of esoteric that I can't even begin to comprehend, but I love it all the same.
even if you dont understand why they are so passionate, its always nice to see people have an exited conversation about something they love.
man I wish adam was my friend, be so nice to have someone with his know how to guide us like a jedi.
I just love Adam. He's so great at what he does.
I love it. All of it. You guys. The process. The final product. In summation: 🙏
The Mauser C96 was actually first manufactured in 1896 and continued until 1937. I don't want to stomp on your video but just give you the most accurate information, the things that inspired the Star Wars props have a rich history and I think they really add to the whole story.
Adam, your scope's Reticle is inverted.
+George Hill I was going to make the same comment, well spotted sir
Thank you, Sir.
+Liamrock10 make that 5
we all have the same brain! make that 6 of us.
+George Hill Make that 7. And I have never heard of mounting a reticle upside down to compensate for elevation as that would make your point of impact inverted also
The C96 predates both world wars... hence the 96, which stands for 1896.
I'm also pretty sure the crosshairs were installed upside down.
Indeed they are.
Adam is a legend it'll be a honor for your gun to enter his collection
Best replica I've ever seen , simply amazing
This is so much more interesting than Myth Busters, ... and you don't have to deal with the content being all cut up, & full of commercial breaks.
the beauty of the internet!
Adams hair gets a little messy and suddenly he builds faster,
Thats when he goes into super saiyan mode!
He and his hair reaches their flow states simultaneously
I'd kill to have a workshop like Adam Savage.
just looking at the craftsmanship of that gun makes me tingle
Woah Adam saying fuck really surprised me
He swore all the time on earlier seasons of Mythbusters. He had to be censored quite often, actually. The filming of the show has simply changed over the years to cut most of that out of the show, thus we really don't see much of that part of him anymore.
Darren Diaz Yea.. I miss the earlier seasons. Or rather, the way they made them back then. After they got more popular, it felt like they turned away from showing the building processes in detail, and instead added a lot more scripts and editing to the show. Which in my opinion, sucked. But I guess we have Discovery Channel to blame for that.
Shows like these are so much better when they aren't full of acting, and feels more raw, in my opinion.
And apparently Jamie is even worse when it comes to cursing.
Zach Morford does no one but me remember the swearing helps pain myth that was just 5 minutes of beeps
I didnt see that one lol
1:40 Such an amazingly human and heart-warming moment right here.
13:02 Such an amazingly human and heart-warming moment right here.
I love this video, and I've watched it many times. An update would be great-- I'd really like to know how Norm's weathering went.
This was absolutely fascinating. Thank you so much. 👍
holy crap, I don't put that much thought or effort into real shit I need, I must be a lazy bastard! great job though, I am impressed with the esoteric knowledge and detail.
How much do you want to bet that Adam was almost ready to knock Norm out, take the blaster and run away with it? The guy almost had a nerdgasm when it was finished xD
hearing Norm talk about something he's familiar with and researched is a nice change of pace
I did a 3D model of that blaster based on a lot of the same research, I was really glad to see it looked the same and that I chose the right version of it!!
Hmm. That's not what I expected. My "one day builds" are more like "One day I'll build a flamethrower."
"That is such a pleasurable object!"
Thanks Adam and Norm, because of this video I'm currently building 2 ANH Hero's (will convert one to a TFA), a Greedo Killer, Bespin and Hoth ESB Han, A Luke ESB and I have a ROTJ lined up. And a Merrson Power 5. The RPF is a dengerous (and expensive) place!
1:45 Adam immidiately looks how the parts fit and work! Awesome!
I like his trigger finger at the end !! being a gun enthusiast even though its not a real gun proper trigger finger is always satisfying to see because its just responsible.
Review Guy that's just what I was thinking every time I saw Norm holding the pistol his finger was all over that trigger I kept wanting to yell at him at our that. Like you said even if it's a toy it's still good to be in the habit to keep your finger off that trigger.
Adam didn’t always do that in earlier videos, I wonder if he had further firearms training in the last few seasons of Mythbusters. 🤔
Yeah, but when waving the others around he pointed it at Adam several times.
Scope sights are upside down, wtf.
This video has inspired me to 3-D print one of these. So much fun.
ok i was expecting them to get right to crafting it, but that trivia about the gun was fantastic!!
Adam is such a cool guy!
Thanks
It's amazing how much time people are willing to put into all these details, borderline insanity but pretty awesome aswell :) Great video!
The level of nerdiness in this video is astounding.
So satisfying to watch. Master 🙇🏻
I am a gun collector. If you are going to take one of my Mausers and hack it up to make a DL-44 blaster, please make it so it can still fire. Though I love my untouched collectables, a working blaster would be awesome.
You know I'm a Star Wars fan, but if I spent so much time an effort researching, getting parts, and building that, it would would better be a working blaster.
I’ve watched this many times, I love it.
I love Adam's reaction when the parts are revealed! Haha
Did Adam lick the grill piece at around 4:43? Maybe I've missed something; is he a cyborg that lives by consuming anodized aluminum?
yes he is
+bombbuster72 It's just a quick way to determine if a part is made of plastic or of metal.
xD I just busted up laufhing my ass off.
+Chris Hansen XD
Its to feel temperature cold means metal room temp is plastic. You can also test if an object is tastier than the other objects yummmm.
perfect in every way except for the colour.
Also I had no idea the level of fucking outrageous nerdiness that could go into getting a "perfect" replica.
I mean, and I genuinely want an answer for this... Who cares how close a replica it is?
People who like accuracy cares.
Trust me, if you start to go into propmaking/costuming, inaccuracy will become the bane of your existence.
NEEEERRRRRRRDDDSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Deetozine the prop-makers themselves didn't care! He even said they screwed parts on backwards in some scenes.
Russell Morgan Sure, doesn't mean anything though. The people who now want to have things look as authentic as possible will want to recreate everything as they were in the movies.
I have to hand it to them, their attention to detail is impeccable.
That thing SOUNDS amazing when it clunks around. Wow.
I think I had one of those Japanese kits from the '80s, too. Mine was a Luger. What's interesting is it has the same device to show how many bullets were left in the magazine as the Mauser (it would flip up/forward when empty.) The Luger's magazine was in the handle. The model even came with a removable clip with styrene bullets to put in it. I wish I had kept it but it eventually made its way into the trash many decades ago.
WW1 handgun actually not a WW2 weapon, although it was used, but not as excessively as the luger and the p38
+Jake Weber True - the Mauser was used most often by officers in the Waffen SS as both a ceremonial weapon and an amazingly efficient killing machine.
+War Machine it is a select fire 7.65 .30 cal broom handle. It was phased out before 1935 as a side arm of the Wehrmacht in favor of the more powerful 9mm Luger cartridge. The Spanish army and argentine army along with turkey still used the weapon.
+War Machine Sorry but that information is wrong. As the others have said, they phased out the antique design in favor of the luger, and the p38.
+hilldwler 420 Depends on your model, many were in 9x19mm as designated by a red 9.
hilldwler 420
Which is why I made note of the fact that it was carried for ceremonial purposes. Officers in the SS composed themselves far differently than the average Wehrmacht soldier; they had a few quirks and pomp and ceremony were among them. It's the same as how many Allied officers carried Colt .45 revolvers instead of the M1911.
"thanks for helping me make this" translation: "thanks for making this for me"
C96's, to quote one of Harrison Ford's other famous characters, "it belongs in a museum"
Love what you guys do
As a collector of WWII firearms, you're goddamn right we're miffed.
Adam wanted this to be his gun. I think. they made it sound like it was to complete his collection. Probably built another one like 2 days later.
The amount of detail and accuracy of how star wars fans actually figure out astounds me
Awesome prop for Live Action Actors like myself. I will be weilding one of these or a Lightsaber. Great to see how these were/are made. 👍
Holy shit, using screen grabs from entirely different movies in entirely different *galaxies* to figure out what a gun looks like.
I can't say I knew anything about any of this. This video came after a string of Adam Savage/Mythbusters clips. I knew that Star Wars had some crazy-serious fans, and I knew that Adam was among them, but I had no idea that it went this deeply. Not my thing, but kind of interesting.
Good to see Adam again ;)
Adam has so much cool stuff.
