LOOKING FOR Inexpensive blaster option for EIB submission


Recommended Posts

Hello.  I have been combing through the forums trying to find the least cost option for a blaster to get EIB approval.  I just joined the 501st several weeks ago but built my armor pretty much to the EIB level requirements.  I have 3 items I need to do before I can submit: AB to kidney gap, boots, and blaster. 

 

I do not have hundreds of dollars to spend on a blaster.  I am looking to move to EIB to help get us to the 1000 mark.  So, I need most cost effective option even if it means putting in maximum effort.  I would like to take advantage of all the knowledge out there on best way to do this.  As stated, I am having issues finding best option in forums, or I am horrible at search strings.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Best Regards,

Michael Rose

For L2, offhand, look into the Hasbro conversion option or B grades from reputable vendors.

 

short of that, continue to research.

Also, try to pay attention to what’s posted in the PX Commissary.  You might get lucky.

Try to look at EIB submissions and see what other applicants did for their blaster solutions.

Cheapest option would be a doopydoos kit (with Tjay’s kit for even more accuracy) or having a friend 3d print you one.

 

I would advise you to skip the Hasbro conversion, if you ever decide to go for Centurion you would need to buy another blaster which is even more $ in the long run.

3D prints now needs to be sanded smooth as it can’t have any visible print lines for EIB and beyond.

I would normalt recommend Imperial Warfighters on FB as they have a great rubber E-11 at a very good price, pretty much ready to go out of the box. However, Ryan, the owner, just suffered a tragic loss of his wife so no sure if they are taking orders at the moment.

I exchanged messages with him. Very sad. He did tell me that he would let me know when up and running again.

As Brien mentioned, Doopydoos (link below) is a great kit.  The cost (with shipping) is about $85.00, and you can also upgrade it with one of Tino's finishing kits to bring it to a much higher level of accuracy.  https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/28444-fs-completion-sets-for-e-11-resin-kits-with-worldwide-tracked-shipping-and-paypal/

Here is a fantastic resource for the build if you decide to go that route:  https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32111-fisd-e-11-blaster-reference/
