Jerry with the converted c96 Mauser:
Really neat slo-mo footage in this. The Mauser is one of a kind.
If you’re a Star Wars nerd and are looking for more blaster related content, make sure to check out when Adam Savage from Mythbusters built one.

COMMENTIncredible attention to detail. As they mention in the video, there is a whole thread on a fan forum called Replica Prop Forum (RPF) which is dedicated to researching the detail of the Han Solo blaster and sourcing all the components.
There is a huge article over at Tested detailing the story of how fans recreated the original blaster down to the last detail.
I would have preferred them to build this on a real Mauser C96, but this is still quite cool. Quite the workshop they have there! MYTH: BUSTED! uh wait.. there wasn’t a myth.
Thoughts?
Do you agree with his list? Any you’d like to omit/add?
I really appreciate old rifles and the history surrounding them, but I don’t have any desire to start a collection.
