Although this is Pondo Baba's blaster pistol, I am wondering as to what the the name of this blaster pistol is... the Hoth Rebel Blaster Pistol (it's the same but with a different grip).

 

Does anyone know of the name of the blaster pistol used by the troops on Hoth?

 

Thanks!

 

p.s. here is the DL-18 -- some people think this is the gun that was used by the Hoth troops

Unfourtunatly I don't know.

it is a modified Rebel blaster pistol

That coud be it.

Can't see the picture unforunately. From memory it was a modified Blastech DL-18 blaster, but that's only from memory, i'm not at all certain.

I also think it should be from BlasTech. I can look into the 'behind the magic' cds, maybe there's some description.

that works

Yeah, i've seen the pic now. I'm fairly confident it's a modified DL 18. New handgrip, custom scope, plus flanges on the emitter nozel, presumably for cooling. Pretty hard to draw from a holster though.

that's why Han Solo cut his off... Faster draw. But then again, Pondo Baba isin't really that fast...

The grip sucks...looks like a rubber hose connected to a very deadly blaster. Not a very good design...especially with the addition of those flanges.

 

Just my opinion.

I agree Untimely

the handel is pretty crappy, but whatever floates your boat

I would like to know the name of the rebel blaster pistol (doubt it's a modified DL-18 cause it was standard issued) used in the Hoth battle.. it looks just like the blaster I have pictured, except that the grip is different. If I could find a picture of the actual weapon then that would be a slight step in the right direction too.. but alas

i have a pict of it, but alas, i do not have scanner. i will see if i can find a picture...

Igor...

 

Just curious...

 

Why do you need this classified information on weaponry used by the Alliance at the battle of Hoth?

 

Ve have vays of finding out information...torture perhaps?

http://www.decipher.com/starwars/cardlists/specialedition/light/large/echobasetrooperrifle.html is for the Trooper rifle...

or here is the image if you can see it...http://www.decipher.com/starwars/cardlists/specialedition/light/large/echobasetrooperrifle.html

Swarmer you must have done alot of work if you arrived at a Star Wars CCG site.

I'm afraid that's the A295 -- we are looking for the blaster pistol used at Hoth.

oops, and i play swccg so i was looking for that site

DL18 has a rounded handle, fat at the bottom, and thinner at the top.

cool, where did you find that?

I used to play CCG.

cool, were you any good. the only reason i stopped was because there was noone to play against

I was Okay. I had a bunch of good cards including Executer.

sweet, i always wanted one of thoes, i got both death stars
