Is this blaster 501st approved?

[rc10tc]

It is made by hyperdyne labs. Not sure if I'm allowed to include link.

But maybe some of you have heard of it.

[Tray[TK]]

it should be. That means it has a lot of sounds and things, correct? Not Hyperfirm?

 

Links are okay. Share if you have questions.

That's a pretty penny! You could just gut a Disney gun and have the blast/stun effects with no vibration (would a laser emitter even have recoil?) and one light per color for way cheaper

[illusionz_09[TK]]

that seems like it would work for basic approval.

But definitely would "tweeking" for EIB.

and of course, if you want to go centurion, then this blaster will NOT work.

 

So completely up to you. 

I agree with Scott above, you might as well get the Hasbro Blaster and do the minor conversion. That way you will be good to go for EIB status at least.

I thought they said no more Hasbro Blasters?

[Quadan[501st]]

Disney now makes thier own blasters now.

Disney Blaster i meant, its still a Hasbro derivative.

[netslave[501st]]

It's my understanding that the modified hasbro/Disney blaster is fine for Level 1 certification. But if you want level 2/3 (EIB or Centurion?), then you'd need something better. At least per the CRL.

That honestly might have to change once someone compares them to the real deal. After I finish modding and painting mine (shouldn't be too long) we'll be able to see exactly where they had to make consessions to fit the electronics. I can tell the front sight, magazine and end cap and pipe are small, for example. It's really not a Hasbro derivative as far as the design goes.

 

Level one is just any old Sterling "replica". EIB requires you to drill the missing open row of barrel holes and have all the parts but you can rock a doopy mod. Centurion needs a more accurate replica though, no hasbros

Perhaps this is a noob question, but dies your blaster have to be to spec with your armor or can they have different ratings? I mean say your armor is centurian level, but your blaster is just basic. Would this affect your armor level?

If you want EIB or centurion then you blaster has to meet the minimum requirements of that level. An over spec blaster is fine for any level though.
