Great video as someone who is a fan of Star Wars and also an actual gun owner I will say I like your enthusiasm. That being said I have a few basic tips for you. First always assume the weapon is loaded. Second never point a fire arm be it real or otherwise at anyone unless you intend on using it. Third keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire. Fourth never look down the barrel of your weapon. Not only are these good general habit to get into but it will lends a level of authenticity to your character. Keep up the good work kid.
TRUE, I completely forgot about that ooooh my grandpa would be so disappointed lol! He taught me more than a few gun safety rules as a kid and taught me how to fire a few of them safely and properly, and it is probably best to keep up with those rules and procedures here as well, good point. I guess the level of removal from a real fire arm is amplified once you do all these modifications to it. Thank you for the advice!
I know, right? It's a beautiful piece of work. The maker has done a ton of other great machine milled parts, if you liked that, could be cool to browse his stuff he has for sale, the link is in the video description. He's even done a few Boba Fett parts I think? Can't quite remember. Thanks for watching!
Dude, same here. I've herd that from a few people, and it hurts the more you think about it, like, you could have a wall of bounties, you could have these buckets of scopes and barrels and bodies, you could choose to make a rifle or a pistol, you could get a sling for a rifle or a holster for a pistol, It could be this florescent lit room like the corrusant underbelly, but obviously, no guns in Disneyland. it hurts to think about the potential :(
Oh man I had a dremel from 2005 that died last year. I was so sad, it had been used on SO MANY project both hobby and home repairs. I laid it to rest in my ammo can trash bin and my mother in law bought me a new one when she heard. She bought me the original so it was very fitting and kind of her. The new one is great and I'm almost glad it happened lol
Yeah, it’s always hard seeing a tool go. The dremel that died was kept in an old bagpipe cleaning kit box and had been there my whole life, so it was pretty rough seeing it go, but I kept the box and got an upgrade, so over all a win win, but still sad. Glad you got an improvement as well!
I remember never getting a good look at the P08 Luger until I saw Rogue One and I was so so intrigued by the look of it, it’s a really perfect look for a Star Wars blaster made from a WW2 weapon. Would love to see more of what people could do to convert that base pistol into their own unique side arms for Star Wars. If you end up doing it, consider filming it, I’d love to take a look at what you come up with!
Wow this video kinda took off! (Well, 330 views is a lot to me at least!) I wanted to say thank you for watching, it mens a lot to see people watching this and also hopefully finding it entertaining and fun. Thanks again!
Yeah, that'd be awesome! Leia's blaster in A New Hope was made out of a 1911, right? What kind of look would you go for, something with a scope or a long barrel or something different?
@@willhamilton297 I think Leia's was some Soviet gun or something lol, I dont think star wars has used the 1911 yet, but I could be wrong. I was thinking something more like jyn ersos, with a wide cylindrical barrel, but with some nobs like yours! I want to do it out of metal so I'm not sure how I'm going to go about this, but I'll try to keep you posted. I have a plastic one made up of an airsoft gun. But like you said, I want the weight and feel of a metal one.
GAVIN GERRARD I cant tell you now after having it for a few months, it’s a great thing to hold and I only like it more every time I pick it up. It really is like holding the universe in your hand, and if you’re up for it I would love to hear how it turns out or what your plans are for it. If you don’t have a Replica Prop Forum account, you could totally look into getting one, it’s basically just like refit but about props and you can ask questions and start threads on your things if you want, it’s a great way to gather inspiration and information on builds. If you keep on going forward with the build, you can find me there, my account name is willrhami and my profile pic should be mostly a green light coming from my saber lol. Hope to hear all about it!
There is a link in the description to all the parts and pieces I used in this project, the Luger air soft replica is a Umerex Legends P08 Luger metal airsoft pistol, it’s the lower cost version. You can find it on Amazon and other places. The link to the listing on Amazon can be found in the description. Hope this helps!
You’re right, oh my god 😂😂 the front piece is based off the tip of a fighter plane gun from World War 2, and in the first movie the main Han Solo blaster prop used the real thing, it had holes on the cone part
It’s actually a machined part made by fans, they sell many different versions of the part you can put into the front of a verity of models or airport pistols, the link to the one I used is in the description.
You got lucky drilling an already tapped hole, and tapping it again the same size!? And good idea with tue clamps. I wad going to suggest a good vise bolted to a solid table in your garage. Well that's where mine is but you get the idea. Great work! I really want one of those pistols to build a blaster from. Very nice. Btw this is shinchu from therpf.
Christopher Rea Yeah, I didn’t realize it at the time, but I got lucky a LOT of times on this build, could have gone way worse lol. I have a big vice in my garage, but it’s bolted to my table and it was a super huge mess down there that we need to clean up, which we did this week, so hopefully I’ll be using it next time. unfortunately I’m not shinchu, but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard the name before. I’m on the RPF as well.
Eh, it’s tricky, I think it’s more that it ticked some of the major boxes for me that I want from a lightsaber, not to say that it’s the best one. I do think that the system is SUPER easy for people not into electronics though which is nice, like, there are just some people who want a couple lightsabers that feel cool and fun that they don’t want to worry about, and it fits that need, and good for them. I like the weight and the flashes and the feeling I get when I hold it, but yeah, it isn’t the best. I have been working out how to make my own lightsaber from the ground up with aluminum machining and that project will take years. I basically wanna make the same lightsaber design but in full aluminum with neopixel and CFX, make a removable fully detailed chassis, etc. But that will be a LONG LONG process. I wanna make it look and feel like that scene in clone wars with the younglings making their sabers, a bunch of tiny screws and parts that all come together, no glue, no plastic, all disassembleable down to the individual parts. That vision is gonna take years though. And it took the Galaxy’s edge saber dying for me to realize I wanted that instead lmaoooo

The flash hidder really sets it off. Great job.

I wish galaxy’s edge would have a place to build your own blaster

Hey thanks!
Yep, new sub
Nice build. I thought about building my own blaster with P08 Luger because almost everybody uses Mauser Broomhandle.

Honestly best blaster video in the world bro well done 👍

Super awesome vid. Seriously want to attempt this! Maybe with a 1911

@@willhamilton297 yeah amigo, I'm not on any forum. If you wanna see what I'm thinking about whipping up I could send you a DM on insta or something?
GAVIN GERRARD Sure, it’s willrhami on Instagram, send me something if you want, it’d be cool to see
Awesome! Build!💥👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😁👍🏿
Hey thanks, I'm really happy about how it turned out and I'm really happy to get feedback like this! Thanks again!
I want a Walther P38 with Star Wars parts now😂
you should do it! It’s a fun project and with a metal replica air-soft pistol it has a very nice look and feel to it.
@@willhamilton297 I will, thank you for the inspiration
@@naulapommi666 Thank you for watching, it means a lot!
Good vid love the blaster a little long tho keep it up
Good to know, I'll keep it in mind
“Instantly I realized” I’m a money sink/disappointment to my parents” just kidding I Love the blaster.
disappointment... possibly. Money sink............. You have no idea
NICE!!!
awesome if your left handed
should make another and sell that to a leftie.
AWESOME TO SEE FATHER SON PROJECTS
give your ad a high 5
How does the flash hider connect?
Where did you buy the Luger? I'm trying to buy one

was that tip a hose piece cuz it sure looks like one

Great video how did you machine the end to receive the flash hider? Did I miss this part?

@@willhamilton297 shinchu is me lol thats my name on therpf
Christopher Rea Just re read the comment “btw this is shinchu” my bad 😂 Thanks for watching!
The galaxy's edge sabers are the worst lol but im glad you love it 👍

May you post a link to the gun you used
The link is in the description, I bought mine off of Amazon but that company had their own website too, I believe
Where did you get the flash hider?
It’s a fan made machined part, the link should be in the description
Great Video. Know you from Insta. love it
Thanks man!
