Just wanted to say, the incredible, pure-hearted joy you display in your videos makes you such a pleasure to watch. You definitely seem to know how to have fun with the "little" things in life, I admire that! Hope you're doing well!
Hey Adam and Norm, great content as usual! I do believe War Machine Paintball are completely replicating all of the original firearms when making their props. So you’ll actually start with a true working replica of a real life Luger, Mauser or Sterling, etc... Their Star Wars replicas look phenomenal and if your a fan of real firearms they would also be great replicas on their own, with no greebles.
TH-cam Gun historian “Forgotten Weapons” has 2 videos on the gun the blaster is based off of. Take a look if you wanna see how little they actually modified the gun!
these things blows me away like the creator or enabler of something comes here and see the thing that he made or helped make being featured in someones else thing. really awesome
I won't lie, as great as it is to watch these model kit builds, it's also really disheartening when I want one and see how ridiculously expensive they are.
I’m not sure “ridiculously” is a good adjective for the price. Model gun and prop kits for sci-fi weapons like this are always higher priced because it’s usually one person or a small team hand designing and machining these parts. That’s a lot of labor hours and hand work that must be accounted for in the price so that they can pay their employees and have a viable business. Saber kits easily cost just as much, if not more, than this kit and this blaster kit has a lot more parts than a lot of saber kits. The price on this (in the context of Star Wars/sci-fi props) is pretty reasonably priced.
In context to the average person I guess. I do recognize that these are top of the line for what they are. But that still doesn't prevent what I feel when I see it.
It’s great to see Adam and Norm together again. Seeing Adam impart his knowledge and experience with Norm reminds me of working and learning from my father in-law. 😍🤙🏻
What's sort of funny is that they haven't really been apart. Norm has been there in the background a lot of the time but it's made to look like Adam is the one-man-band. I'm glad they're making videos where they're both on camera. These are some of my favorites. Reminiscent of the Cosmonaut video.
@@SirJamesIGamerfuzion: Ah, but you would have to do that anyways where you diy'd it or bought this kit. -Though, I don't know how much it would cost to get an 1896 gun and modify it into a prop... probably more than $400. -*-Le shrug-*
That's called recognizing someone is doing it wrong and offering to show them. It requires the other party to let you though or pay attention. You are describing anyone teaching anyone else anything. So yes you and Adam and everyone else who has ever existed do that.
@@ryansizemore5064 no. You don't understand what I was saying. Even when they're doing it right. I can't help but want to help them. I have a hard time watching someone do something in front of me without wanting to help them finish. You're trying to help but you realize you're helping too much so you have to slow yourself down. IDK I'm not sure this helped you understand it has nothing to do with them being right or wrong it's about building
Yeah, I must have missed the part of the video where Norm asked Adam to build his kit for him? If you're a teacher or a Dad, please don't do this. Let people make some mistakes, and you can correct, but don't immediately grab it from their hands and do it. Adam does this quite a lot actually, and I wonder if he's aware of it. I wouldn't be too thrilled if I was Norm. For me, the fun is in the building, not watching someone do it for me.
@@karlspace5695 I'm working on it. I have 3 young kids and my 6yo daughter brought it to my attention when we were doing a puzzle. even at work I've caught myself reaching in and pulled my hand back. I had no idea I was doing it until she told me. I wasn't trying to do it. I really don't think he even knows. I can't speak for him, I just thought I was helping but I was way across the line of helping and I was doing.

"Despite their differences"? I've heard Adam mention that they aren't exactly best buddies. Does this go back to a particular incident, or is it one of these "we don't speak about it" situations? Just curious.😁
@@2H80vids It’s not from a specific incident. They’ve both said that they just have conflicting personalities, which prevents them from being friends, but they still appreciate each others’ talents and their ability to push each other creatively
Ian from Forgotten Weapons has wonderful videos detailing the real Bergmann, and I believe a different video specifically about Mando's. Also, glad to see you again Norm!
Very nice. I got the same kit myself, and instead of superglue I used JB Weld on the parts needing permanent attachment. It's a beauty and maybe my favorite prop in my entire collection.
I love these build videos where Adam helps another maker assemble a prop! It's cool to see different build approaches, Norm always reminds me of a surgeon with his methodical and measured approach. Carry on! This is the way. :)
Good to see Norm and Adam together. Even though they have to wear masks. It is good to see collaboration and conversation. I know Norm has been there in the background but I enjoy seeing this.
The exact pistol it is based on is the '1894 Bergmann No. 1'. Forgotten Weapons did a video on it, which had a major surge in interest when the series first came out.
I forget the name of the glue, however any glue that's used in restoration (both in painting and sculpture) and is under the grant of "reversible glue" is an excellent tool in the arsenal of a perfectionist model builder. You can fit and finish parts and then take them apart as many times as you want using it, because usually, it only takes a bit of warm water or some non destructive solvent to take parts apart. I usually use a little bit of diluted fish glue for my models, makes final assembly for paint an easy task as all the parts are fitted and no longer hold that quality of amplified mistakes as each part takes its toll.
What is the name of the method used to blue or "blacken" the aluminum? I purchased this kit and tried Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black. It came out very blue like heated steel. Any suggestions on getting a more black finish?
The Mandalorian’s blaster is based on the 1894 Bergman Number 1. It is a rare semiautomatic pistol. Forgotten Weapons did a video on bother the Bergman’s history as well as the Mandalorian’s pistol.
Thank you! The next time you assemble a screen accurate hero kit, would you consider repainting a cheap toy “stunt version”alongside it? Rubies makes an orange and white plastic version of this blaster that would be interesting to see you paint up for comparison.
I'm amazed that you two can work so closely, using that glue and are still capable of walking off in two different directions afterwards. I'd be attached to the gun, the work surface and anything else within a 10 foot radius.
Sorry, I know this is an older video, but genuine question: Why not brush with steel wool after the blaster was assembled? Wouldn’t that more closely replicate the type of wear that you’d see on a weapon that was carried/holstered/unholstered?
Hello. I was very interested in how you did the blackening process on the blaster! Can you or anyone link me your process or business that you used? Thank you!
I feel like a lot of people miss out on awesome kits like this because its so expensive, any other more affordable kits like this available? its just heartbreaking that its so pricey.
These guns (the original Bergmanns) are VERY rare, made in low numbers, so it is doubtful many would be able to convert actual weapons, unlike the Mauser, Sterling or even Vostok Margolin. Wonderful kit, being in Australia, this is only a dream.
So uh. Let’s say you have this kit and while putting it together one of the teeny tiny trigger springs flew off into narnia...where would one find a replacement spring?
@@gtrlum I've been searching high and low for over a year now. I wrote to tested a year ago by letter and didn't get a reply, I've tried about 20 anodising company's here in the UK. Still nothing. Please Adam tell us...
That is a beautiful kit... as a prop maker and machinist the price on this is really good value... can't afford one sadly and they'd never allow them here in the UK anyway as any replica of a design made after 1869 is restricted and requires special dispensation to own.
My toptip, Injection needles make GREAT disposable superglue applicators, just buzz the sharp part of with a dremel or something (sanding disk seems to work better then a cutting disk) they are cheap enough to treat them as basically single use, but i often use some compressed air to blow out them out at the end and then you can get a few days of working time out of each. Not bad for a 5 cent piece... Incase anyone cares i use 0.8x16mm, and they drop directly onto the tip of zap-a-gap brand superglue bottles
Adam says he has "terrible work ethic" for not researching the gun name before shooting. While he pumps out videos and builds daily and weekly for months on end.
I think it’s perfectly excusable. I’d love to be able to shake Adam’s hand and thank him for the countless hours I’ve spent watching the videos he’s made. And I’d like to ask him if he’d ever take a commission for a Deckard blaster but probably not but one can dream.
$400 for the kit is actually surprisingly reasonable. I wouldn't get it but it's hard to argue that it's not worth it if you're a die-hard collector or something. 🤔
@@ryansizemore5064 "Double what it should be" according to who? $400 isn't a lot in the world of small-scale production replicas of that caliber. It's the price of a larger Lego set. But if you think you can do it for half the price be my guest. Everyone would welcome you for it.
Can you slow down the assembly to give the camera time to focus and when pointing out different parts, linger so we can see them, and again, give the cameraman time to focus.
I love how Mando's blaster is based off an older gun than the rest of the blasters. It almost looks like the Star Wars equivalent of a civil war revolver.
Most of the original and prequel blasters are based on real guns mocked up to look like blasters, I'm glad the Mandalorian continues that tradition. The guns have a real and functional look. Unlike all of those blasters from the new movies, they were designed on computer and 3d printed and it shows. They look like fake plastic guns.
Cool build. So glad that only a few original Bergmann pistols were ever made so that nobody can ever get their hands on one to wreck in making a cosplay prop. If anyone does by some crazy coincidence have one of the originals, they are worth a small fortune so just sell it and buy every Star Wars cosplay toy you can think of.
@_DJ_Gengar_ Mandalorian indeed ! When you get right down to it, a doll is a doll. Playing with toys is for kids, not 'adult' men. If the man wants to test something, pick something grown up. Get a life like an adult. . .
Dear Ganja. You also use you channel for baiting others. You say "Move along" as if you think you can simply dismiss me like an underling ! Why should I, when I have found a new toy like you ? Also,I have a decent Star Wars Collection myself, but NO dolls ! Just useful stuff like Watches and Light Sabres. As Luke Skywalker said, "Make it so" ! .
I once had a extra thin super glue accident where the bottle squirted when I took the cap off and a drop ended up in my eye. Scared the living shit out of me. Quickly forced my eye open with my fingers, and with my good eye and free hand googled what I should so. It was probably just a very small droplet and rinsing with cold water fixed it for me, but now I'm always extra careful with the extra thin CA glue
They'd be crazy to have re-engineered the trigger mechanism, I'm sure they just used CnC and worked up the CAD model directly from the Bergmann blueprints. None of the internals will have been changed for the prop, so it would make sense.
I buy the surgical masks, take an exacto knife and make a small incision at the end of the included crappy nose wire. Pull that nose wire out, cut lead free solder wire and heat the ends a bit with a torch to soften them, and insert into the channel for the nose wire. Talk about a great fit over the nose. It works really great.
Life hack: Apply liquid soap to the lenses and clean it away with a dry cloth, the lenses andthe cloth MUST BE DRY IN THE WHOLE PROCESS. It will keep your glasses fogless for 4-6 hours
Adam, here's a challenge for you with this blaster: It would be awesome to see a turn of the century style custom engraving/etching on the metal to make it stand out and make it unique
Can we talk about the NN-14 (Rey’s) blaster and Jyn Erso blaster just hanging out on the table? Seriously blaster factory (war machine paintball) kits are amazing. I love my steel DL44 kit.
Serious prop QUESTION for ADAM about recent ALEC BALDWIN accidental shooting on set. Regarding props on set, I've always wondered why firearms used in films are real when everything else is more or less a nonfunctional fabrication. My question: Is it possible for the best makers in the industry to design and build prop firearms that look, feel, and only APPEAR to operate like actual firearms, (i.e. muzzle flash, recoil, proper weight, load/unload clips and PROP cartridges, etc.), only they fundamentally operate in such a completely different manor that projectile discharge isn't even a functional possibility, even if the props malfunction? Has this already been done and I just missed it? If so, why has this new tech in prop firearm design NOT become the film industry standard? Thank you for being AWESOME, Adam!

Most of the original and prequel blasters are based on real guns mocked up to look like blasters, I'm glad the Mandalorian continues that tradition. The guns have a real and functional look. Unlike all of those blasters from the new movies, they were designed on computer and 3d printed and it shows. They look like fake plastic guns.
Cool build. So glad that only a few original Bergmann pistols were ever made so that nobody can ever get their hands on one to wreck in making a cosplay prop. If anyone does by some crazy coincidence have one of the originals, they are worth a small fortune so just sell it and buy every Star Wars cosplay toy you can think of.
What brilliant animation !
To see them, you might actually believe that they had a Life !!

Mandalorian indeed !
When you get right down to it, a doll is a doll.
Playing with toys is for kids, not 'adult' men.
If the man wants to test something, pick something grown up.
Get a life like an adult.

Your channel, like you, has no content.

Dear Ganja.
You also use you channel for baiting others.
You say "Move along" as if you think you can simply dismiss me like an underling !
Why should I, when I have found a new toy like you ?
Also,I have a decent Star Wars Collection myself, but NO dolls !
Just useful stuff like Watches and Light Sabres.
As Luke Skywalker said,
"Make it so" !

Very noble of you.
A nice weekend 2u2.

I once had a extra thin super glue accident where the bottle squirted when I took the cap off and a drop ended up in my eye. Scared the living shit out of me. Quickly forced my eye open with my fingers, and with my good eye and free hand googled what I should so. It was probably just a very small droplet and rinsing with cold water fixed it for me, but now I'm always extra careful with the extra thin CA glue
They'd be crazy to have re-engineered the trigger mechanism, I'm sure they just used CnC and worked up the CAD model directly from the Bergmann blueprints. None of the internals will have been changed for the prop, so it would make sense.
I’d love to see a display case gun rack for all the gun props...that would be a great one day build...
Hey Adam do you plan on making the pulse rifle from mandalorian or possibly a Tuskin raider rifle?
Cycler rifle.
Oh and I have the nerf mando rifle on preorder. Cant wait to repaint it!
I would like to get a pair of metal de-10 merc blasters but can't seem to find them anywhere, just in plastic and 3d print.
I would love to see a functioning build of Mal's pistol from firefly! It's based off a taurus revolver
Seeing Adam wear a mask without his glasses fogging makes me jealous
Yeah I wanna know what mask that is. Looks comfy and effective
@Logikure those don’t always work. You gotta get a nice one for it to properly have a seal to prevent it fogging.
I buy the surgical masks, take an exacto knife and make a small incision at the end of the included crappy nose wire. Pull that nose wire out, cut lead free solder wire and heat the ends a bit with a torch to soften them, and insert into the channel for the nose wire. Talk about a great fit over the nose. It works really great.
Life hack: Apply liquid soap to the lenses and clean it away with a dry cloth, the lenses andthe cloth MUST BE DRY IN THE WHOLE PROCESS.
It will keep your glasses fogless for 4-6 hours
You just gotta tuck it under the glasses right homie. Hope this helps
Is there any info on the silver cutters with the reversed grip Adam uses to cut the solder at 23:44? Would love to add a couple pair to my arsenal.
If only this could hold electronics as well... blastercore would bring this to another level, nay, THE level.
Adam, here's a challenge for you with this blaster: It would be awesome to see a turn of the century style custom engraving/etching on the metal to make it stand out and make it unique
Adam dad mode is lovely
I hope to see Adam make more iconic guns from movies, series and comics like Hellboy's revolver
10 minutes in and Adam has pretty much taken over the build.
Can we talk about the NN-14 (Rey’s) blaster and Jyn Erso blaster just hanging out on the table? Seriously blaster factory (war machine paintball) kits are amazing. I love my steel DL44 kit.
If the cops walked in, they'd think you were assembling real guns. That's a feckin cool kit.
Serious prop QUESTION for ADAM about recent ALEC BALDWIN accidental shooting on set. Regarding props on set, I've always wondered why firearms used in films are real when everything else is more or less a nonfunctional fabrication.
My question: Is it possible for the best makers in the industry to design and build prop firearms that look, feel, and only APPEAR to operate like actual firearms, (i.e. muzzle flash, recoil, proper weight, load/unload clips and PROP cartridges, etc.), only they fundamentally operate in such a completely different manor that projectile discharge isn't even a functional possibility, even if the props malfunction?
Has this already been done and I just missed it? If so, why has this new tech in prop firearm design NOT become the film industry standard?
Thank you for being AWESOME, Adam!
love this replica, but why would a blaster have a hammer mech?
