==BlasTech DH-17 blaster pistol==
Which movie was this? It was NOT the first one (A new hope) (1977) because I've handled those original Prop guns and they were just cheap metal tubes and NOT built on a Sterling SMG. The Stormtrooper ones yes, but the Rebels on the blockade runner had very simple crappy prop pistols made out of machined aluminum.

This is true, you can see during the blockade runner sequence the trigger guards on the dh-17s are really thick indicating something that was molded or thrown together cheaply.--[[User:Variableorange|Variableorange]] 05:22, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

==Star Wars guns==
Star wars fans and costumers have been for years trying to find out what all the guns in the star wars saga were made of: Parts of Star Wars ([http://www.partsofsw.com/]) is a fan-created list of most of the guns - from the main props to blink-and-you'll-miss-them ones wielded by extras.

==Page Re-Organization Recommendation==

Is there any particular reason we have all the films in this franchise all on one page? I believe it would make more sense to split them into several pages covering the individual films and have a category to serve as a central hub for them. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 15:07, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
:Some Star Wars films have only one real-based guns (the first episode, for example) and is a waste to make so all of them are grouped in one page. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 16:44, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

That's exactly what I did, group them all in one page. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 01:59, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

I think this makes it look much less professional, however. --[[User:Jovantheun1337|Jovantheun1337]] 19:17, 11 September 2011 (CDT)

==Clone Blasters==
Should the clone blasters really be on this page, since there was never actually a physical prop for any of them used in the films? [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 19:20, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:Most viewers would not realize that, so it's probably best if there is a section for it, if only to point out that, unlike the rest of the gun on the page, that one doesn't actually exist.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 21:25, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

== Droid blaster ==

Does anyone have any objection to the E-5 blaster used by the battle droids in the prequels being added?
[[Image:Battle droid blaster.jpg|thumb|500px|none|]]
The screen used practical props were made from castings of a an E-11 blaster replica, which itself was based on a Sterling. Granted, no guns were directly used to make this prop, but at least it is a physical prop unlike the clone rifles which are on this page.

Also, just as an unrelated bonus, here is a (hires) photo from a convention showing replicas of various Star Wars guns, where among others you can see the Episode VI Rebel rifles made from M-16 parts, and the Episode IV DH-17s notable by their thick trigger guards and generally cruder appearance. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 00:15, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia and such ==

I've seen closeups of the props like the Star Destroyer, Millenium Falcon and Death Star surface; since they were decorated with random pieces of warship, aircraft, truck and tank models, they're ''covered'' in recognisable components and some of the weapons could probably be ID'd pretty easily. Also, I've seen a writeup on the R/C version of the Jawa Sandcrawler showing it with the track guards removed; underneath is the running gear of a Tamiya 1/16 scale R/C Sherman.

== Naming ==

Isn't it IMFDb police to list these by their ''REAL'' names, not their in-universe fictional names? I remember the mods making that point during one of the Goldeneye dust-ups. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 18:15, 3 May 2012 (CDT)

: You can see that the real firearm is put in parenthesis after the fictional name. Since these are modified versions, this is what it should be. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 19:24, 3 May 2012 (CDT)

== Imperial officers and the DH-17 Blaster ==

Is there any screenshot that proves that the Imperials actually used or had the DH-17 blaster? As far as I can recall, they used E-11s most of the time.--[[User:Greed-sama|Greed-sama]] ([[User talk:Greed-sama|talk]]) 21:41, 16 April 2013 (EDT)

:I know that the Imperial Navy troopers on the Death Star carry DH-17s. The guys that have the big bowl type open faced helmets. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 04:44, 17 April 2013 (EDT)

== BlasTech DH-17 Blaster Pistol reflex-sight! ==

Hey all! Is it just me or is the "BlasTech DH-17 Blaster Pistol", as seen in "A New Hope", using the same type reflex sight that is shown in the 1978 movie "[[The Wild Geese]]"? If so, what is the name of that reflex sight? [[User:Dudster32|Dudester32]] ([[User talk:Dudster32|talk]]) 13:10, 25 April 2013 (EDT)

[[Image:StarWars-DH-171.jpg|thumb|none|500px|As seen in ''A New Hope''.]]
[[Image:WG-R1a.jpg|thumb|none|500px|From the movie "The Wild Geese".]]

:It is the same sight, it is called a Singlepoint OEG (Occluded Eye Gunsight). There were versions for rifles with a truncated cone at the end (the one pictured here) that produced a narrow dot, or versions for shotguns which had a dome that produced a wide dot. I think they were also both available in red or green, with red dots having a transparent dome/cone, and green ones having a translucent one. You could not actually look through them, you placed the scope over one eye keeping both eyes open and the dot was superimposed over the image from the uncovered eye. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 13:33, 25 April 2013 (EDT)

::Well in that case I will add the info to the article :). Thanks man! [[User:Dudster32|Dudester32]] ([[User talk:Dudster32|talk]]) 15:37, 25 April 2013 (EDT)

== Jango Fetts guns ==

Does anyone know if the guns Jango Fett uses are copy from any real guns? It could look like a chrome .22 without grip plates but the trigger looks kinda strange so I don't know.
