Base Hasbro Blasters

Hasbro (long time toy manufacturer and Star wars licensee) has created a toy version of the E-11 blaster.  Hasbro has used the same molds for their “Stormtrooper blaster” for many years.  It’s gone through many paint and package variations, but many users have used them with their Stormtrooper costumes and trooped with them successfully.

An unmodified Hasbro blaster is acceptable for Legion use (most people paint the blaster black for trooping) but many considerate very inaccurate in terms of size and proportions.

- The overall length is slightly shorter than a real Sterling / E-11

- The height is also slightly shorter than a real Sterling / E11

- The grip is very small (made for kids hands) and is not quite the right shape

- Much of the detail on the left side has been "compressed" to make it easier to play with, but again inaccurate.

- Several components are missing including the folding stock, some T-rack, D ring, etc.

- the scope is exaggerated in shape

- the trigger and trigger guard are a bit small and not the right shape

- The muzzle has a "blaze orange tip" for safety

One advantage of using a Hasbro is that it's light weight, fairly durable and it has light and sound FX included.
