Original model “The Mandalorian Blaster (Final Version)” by Straekers_Armory you can find here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3977528 If you’re a huge Star Wars fan then I’m sure you’ve already signed up for the new streaming service Disney Plus. I did, mostly for the new live action show “The Mandalorian”. The show is essentially a spaghetti western in space that follows the story of a Mandalorian bounty hunter played by Pedro Pascal. Mandalorians are a popular group in the Star Wars saga among fans with their iconic T visor helmets, armor and gun fighting skills.His pistol was based on a real-world firearm. His gun is actually based off of the Bergmann 1896 semi-auto pistol, a German pistol designed by Louis Schmeisser, father of Hugo Schmeisser who developed the StG-44.This isn’t the first time the prop makers working on Star Wars used real world firearms in their blaster designs. Han Solo’s iconic DL-44 blaster was based on the Mauser C-96 pistol, the Stormtrooper’s E-11 rifle was based on the Sterling L2A3 SMG, their BlasTech T-21 was a Lewis machine gun and the BlasTech DLT-19 was an MG-34. There are many more examples of real world guns inspiring the blasters in both the prequel and sequel Star Wars movies as well.
