- On today’s video we review an exceptionally rare disruptor rifle, the Amban. Disruptor rifle’s have been banned since before the Empire and were banned for Military use a not too short time ago. This exceptionally rare weapon was a real treat to review!

Remember boys, if Disney copy right strikes this then Garand Thumb is officially Star Wars canon.
This is the way
Yoooooooooooo🤯
This is the way.
Make it happen
Next we canonize Brandon with the andor AK
The most impressive part of this whole video, is the fact they stayed perfectly in character the whole time. I loved this.
This was so good, i was smiling from ear to ear the entire time. This is the way
The halo assault rifle April fools vid from a while back was also great
Micah nailed the Micah character
Seriously, I love this damn channel because they literally go into detail- whether like this or in the Earth style... it's incredibly real feeling.
The only thing that was off was Charlie saying "5037." When he should've said like "9-12 ABY." 🤓
i love how seemlesly Garand Thumb and the whole crew can swap between satire and serious and its made so much better by the fact that Mike isnt just your average Starwars fan playing dressup talking about scifi guns this was absolutely epic i think theres ample opportunities for different scifi weapons you could do i just cant wait until someone figures out a working bolter from Warhammer 40k
FOR THE EMPRAH!
@@FJStudios.1211 mooooore dakka
Fostec shotgun
a cut down 6P62 would be perfect
As a former purge-trooper who has combat experience using an Amban it was kind of fun seeing the Jedi be so scared by me disintegrating their comrades with ease, the terror in their eyes made me feel so powerful,I do currently still have my Amban phase rifle with me as a reminder of the fear and respect there was for me when the empire was still in power
in minecraft of course, to any new republic authorities reading through the comments on this holovid.
You never fought a Jedi. Nice try Steve and don't forget you're on latrine duty this month
it IS still in power, or Soon it will be, Glory to the empire, you should not have left our ranks, I was a 501st legion SF scout trooper that has fought since Jedha, Endor.... Was not a good experience... We will return to take our galaxy back
I think you mistaken the farmers for Jedis. If you face a real Jedi you wouldn't live to tell the tale

When your sith lord boss says "No Disintegrations", but you instead heard "Know Disintegrations".
a common enough mistake
Or you hear: “No, disintegrations.”
*war crimes intensify*
@@nocturnal0072 it’s not a war crime the first time.
Disintegration=no evidence=no war crime
garand thumb is actually a multi universe being that travels to give us these reviews
that is such an awesome idea.
Task Force 69
Hope he visits HK-47
That would be a magic the gathering set I would buy. 👍
Some say he doesn't travel through the verse, but that the verse travels to him
He learned star wars lore just for us. I love this guy.
@@boonamai8926 he absolutely is
I’m still blown away (disintegrated away in this case) how this rifle looks so accurate to the Star Wars universe and still functions in real life. Great job on this custom build!
Fun fact, mandalorians got tired of lightsaber wielders deflecting their blaster bolts, so they started using "slug throwers" (what we know as guns) so when the lightsaber wielders would try to deflect the shots, it would send molten metal straight into them at supersonic speeds instead. I believe some of them also used scatterguns, which made it impossible to block all the little pellets.
As the Russian Badger once said, oh you can block my lasers, well here’s this buckshot or something along those lines
I've heard that before. Hilarious that, for all practical purposes, a glock is still relevant in the star wars universe. Lol
“Parry this your filthy space wizard”
Ever heard of a padawan level force blast? It may have caught a few Jedi off guard but there’s a reason that they didn’t often use them for long
And why couldn't they could just outright stop or deflect the slugs using the force instead of the lightsaber? Seems like bad writing.
I know this is supposed to be a April’s Fools joke, but I love to see more like this. Like when Ian reviewed the Chinese assault rifle from Fallout 3.
No. That would ruin it and cheapen the channel. Some things are only cool or funny once.
@@physetermacrocephalus2209 how would it do any of that?
@@Stp1497
UA-cam is already oversaturated with geek stuff; and I say that as a geek myself. This channel has its own vibe. An authenticity and maturity about it that giving it the Funko POP treatment would ruin. In addition to this; repeating the same joke over and over also ruins jokes. He could probably get away with doing something like this every April fools day; that would strike the right balance....but making a joke video about fictional weapons every quarter would ruin the brand; though I imagine it would be very popular regardless
@@physetermacrocephalus2209 This is your opinion, and you are entitled to it, but it is wrong.
@@physetermacrocephalus2209 Fallout 3 Chinese assault rifle is basically based on a Chinese real-life assault rifle, Type 93. Garand thumb don't even need to wait for April Fool or adding geek stuff to review that weapon to begin with.
The thumbnail, the jokes, the lore. This officially my favorite gun review channel
The fact you guys got a actual working and firing model of this is crazy. Love to see it, and love the dedication that goes in to these types of productions, and the attention to detail. Really, really cool stuff.
Saying this as a former Alliance mobile infantryman, the stuff I fought for really isn’t being talked about in the New Republic Senate. I don’t have much love for Imps but you put out some charming holovids. So lucky for you guys to have such rare weapons on hand and special people to interview.
At least Nemi Kejo isn’t a karking holdout. I can’t stand those dank bucket-heads. How indoctrinated do you need to be to re-up after Jakku?! But yeah, probably wasn’t even in the Corps. My bet is Nemi was a conscript and dropped off the imperial radar after Yavin and lived off a may-or-may-not-be snarked disability holosheet. A lot of guys on the scrapyard I used to work at did that.
Join me and my local pirates in the outer rim, where you get to fight for YOU and no one else!
I wish all the comments were in-character like this
You rebel scum.. long live the Empire!
I'ma be honest for a split second I thought this was some fallout sh!t
Till I remembered what video I am on
You would do awesome as a cameo in the Mandalorian series. Like Bill Burr has played a retired Imperial trooper, you could be a veteran of the Empire who traffics arms, then Mando has to come to you to get a rare weapon. Seem like you’d actually be a good comedic character actor.
Some one get Filoni on the horn!!
Lol Disney would not associate with garand thumb unfortunately there is no way 😂
Agreed. He would be the type of guy to be a retired veteran arms smuggler. He'd most likely be where a ton of the rebels would buy guns while in the empire.
@@swiss_america Someone has probably smacked his sarcastic face at least a few times.
You need ian from forgotton weapons as the gunshop owner and garand thumb as a gun runner...
As a huge Star Wars nerd and gun collector this video was epic! Well done fellas!
As a former heavy gunner, I’m always happy to watch your vids on the holoprojector, I’ve actually seen a couple of these on the field, thankfully on our side. These things are like relics.
I can't tell if Mike is just a massive star wars fan or if he just researched the subjects for this video really well. In any case, this is probably the most legendary Garand Thumb video I have ever seen.
Reminds me of his Halo weapon breakdowns, truly awesome
He was throwing LOTR references into Admin Results' new video yesterday. I think Mike might just be a MASSIVE nerd
@@williamhilltop all gun nuts are massive nerds, some of them are just still in the closet, lol
@@evolicious you're not wrong. The autism is strong in this community.

As a guy who’s been walking around with a Mythosaur skull on his forearm for the last 20 years & been shooting guns for twice that this episode brings me much joy.
This is the way.

Oya ner vode.

I love how you actually kept to a well written script for this video making it as if it were in the universe
Pure Gold. Just when you thought Garandthumb was getting stale, you get innovation at its finest. I hope that was Charlie in the Mano suit.
the comments always shows who actually watch the videos and who don’t lmao. L
Mike must have a pretty good understanding of the Star Wars lore to produce a video of this quality. As a lore nut and a gun nut, I am proud to say this video was IMMEDIETLY added to my favorites.
"The Jawanski"
Fixed that for you. ☺️✌️
_Un-tini!_
Yea the authenticity was on point, even the little inside jokes regarding naboo and the empire, lmfao
Now I need to go watch the new season of mando
I think Mike has officially reviewed every firearm on Earth so he’s digging into other off world weaponry. Well played, sir.
Still hoping for an updated Bren 2 video onestly
Still waiting on a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range
Meanwhile my INSAS is choking itself in too much grease oil😅
@@patriotenfield3276 You own an INSAS in America? Dang. I have wanted one for a while. How much, and how did ya procure one?
Can't wait for him to review the legendary PK-D 5223
Theres something special about the mix of old school and scifi bits on guns. Love when Scifi has all the fancy metal parts, shoots lasers, etc... but still has the old flint lock mechanism and wood furniture.
I've been watching gun videos for awhile on UA-cam. Only discovered this channel about 2 weeks ago. Can't stop watching and this was a cherry on top.
I love the fact that even though he's doing a review on a fictional weapon he puts absolute 100% of his personality into it and makes it as legit as possible while still being completely entertaining . You guys are the best!!!
Technically he is just reviewing a dressed up Springfield trapdoor rifle. Still incredibly entertaining none the less
It's cool though.
You know honestly, thank you Mike and Micha and Charley for making these videos and like staying in character the whole time, it’s cool to see and the cinematography is nothing but amazing and it’s nice to see someone as big as you guys not take things so seriously. It’s ok to have fun!! Thanks for always showing that!
even down to having the Sonoran Desert Institute's logo in Star Wars font
The time and energy you put into these videos for us is unmatched. I’d be willing to bet that your intro’s alone require more prep,time,and editing them 99% of all content creators in this niche. Thank you for the great content yet again.
I like that you and Ian did lore friendly reviews, great job!
This was art on multiple levels, not only as an AFJ with high production value, not only as a love-letter to SW, but also as a brilliant satire of the channel itself -- it's just so refreshing to see anyone online who's not afraid to laugh at themselves. Well done, sirs.
Make Dave Filoni the President of LucasFilm #FireKatheleenKennedy
@@Wedge-Antilles Dave "Time traveling force sensitive wolves" Filoni wouldn't make it any better. You need a complete house cleaning.
So awesome that Din Djarin was able to take time out of his day to come out and hang out with you guys. Honestly, probably one of the best, most vocal guests on the show. Glad to see him showing respects to the Outer Systems. Praise.
Sir that's Christan
Din will never take his helmet off again
This is so fun to watch as a star wars uber fan - the references to in-universe locations and weapons are on point - but also as somebody who is a fan of guntubers to see what that profession would be like in-universe, and you nailed it.
Former Imperial Droptrooper speaking here. It was a year after the first Death Star was destroyed. I was being deployed to Outer Rim jungle planet of Hissrich. the with my squad to help with complaints about pirates in the area. We had dropped from the Gunship and landed in a clearing. The clearing was next to a rather tall ridge to the south side. We searched around the forests for the pirates. I noticed the pirate on the ridge pointing one of these at us too late. He fired, and in that moment, my friend TK-3643 became dust. We realized the pirate stronghold was on that ridge, so we called in an airstrike and blew up the stronghold. We decided to climb up the cliff to take out the survivors. And guess what? That bastard with the Pulse Rifle survived! He managed to take out my squadmates TK-3849 and TK-9497 before I shot him. If he survived the blaster shot to the chest, he didn't survive the fall. We made it on top and killed the three people that managed to survive. After wiping out the pirates, we called the Gunship back and made it out of the atmosphere. We barely made it out of Hissrich airspace because the pirates had a squadron of stolen TIE Interceptors. We somehow managed to destroy most of the Interceptors and made it back to our main base on what was left of the Lothol dome.
This comment should have gotten more love
I freaking love the sci-fi immersion episodes. First Halo, now Star Wars. Keep it up guys. Love this channel
He should do the Fallout energy weapons next. AEP7, AER9, AER14 Prototype, and/or the Glock 86
Star Wars is not Sci-Fi, it is fantasy.
@@MrWhite0052 lmao
@@MrWhite0052”uhm, excuse me, it’s actually called fantasy and not sci-fi.” ☝️🤓
@@MrWhite0052it's a space opera. It's a sci-fi subgenre.
I’m gonna need a whole series on the Star Wars guns now after this

ah yes the original star wars imperial LMG, the MG42 (that is factual they used old military guns from WW2 spray painted black)
@@swiss_america They were already black...
Why though? Star wars is childish garbage.
@@Valorius EXTRA black!
This is fantastic! Probably the best thing I have seen on UA-cam.

The comment I was looking for😂
Dude, this production and staying in character is actually impressive.
@DarkXSeries7 if it's fun it's fun - no need to look down mate
@DarkXSeries7 redditors who never go outside when they see a chance to be dumb
As a science-fiction fan who also is interested in weapon design and development., This tickles the fancy and definitely pushes all the buttons.. this was absolutely brilliant
All of you did an amazing job staying in character!!
Agreed. I've actually been looking into SDI courses, as I love firearms mechanisms, and I'm a huge Sci-Fi/Star wars fan.
9:36 The amount of emotion shown in this scene without showing mando’s face is incredible
I had to think for a moment at the beginning of this to realize it wasn't from an actual episode! Well-made and fun.
As a "forcibly retired" Scout Trooper that was stationed on Kashyyyk, I think it's great seeing an archaic weapon be featured on the channel. Me and the boys would've loved to get our hands on that thing when fighting the Wookie terrorists. The EE-4 just didn't pack enough punch to easily take down a charging furball of death.
Stick to the airsoft stuff.
Get a sense of humor.. stuff. Airsoft.. shut ya ass.
@@skigdividerx4991 Nah, VR is where it's at these days
@@evolicious Whatever...
@@skigdividerx4991 Stick to airsoft as opposed to what? Writing UA-cam comments?
A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. I wanted a trapdoor Springfield review on the channel at some point.
Took me about 5 min to figure out it was a trapdoor
Maybe just not like this. 😂
Seriously it's one of my favorite guns but now I want one that looks like this more haha
@@bangobob3563 there’s sporterized ones out there that could be a decent host and give them a new lease on life without butchering a historical piece. I agree with you btw.
Awesome video! Thanks to everyone who worked to make this happen - you guys all rock! May the Force be with you
This was so cool, I love how it actually shoots like it does in the show. Also the Springfield makes so much sense as a base.
I’d love to see you guys test a Phase Plasma rifle in a 40 watt range.
You could have Kentucky Ballistics play the Terminator. Except his mcu is the shape of a thumb and its in his neck. Just my 2 cents.
I'm working on it but it's a calico

I wouldn’t even be suprised if Garand can get and Fire an IRL Bergman 1894
He needs to hit up Ian so he can talk to Fireplace Guy and see if they can shoot it.
Bruh that's obscure enough to be maybe the greatest thought on today's date lol
Looks like somebody else noticed that a Bergman is Din Djarin's sidearm
Honestly one of the best April Fools jokes ive ever seen, not cause its funny but because its just perfect. Really outdid yourself on this one.
I love it when you do stuff like this just.. without breaking character. At all. 100000/10
Awesome work by all involved, loved how you kept it all in character.
This is the way!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mandalorian exchange program going really well I see
Where does one apply for such a program
@@carsoncasmirri3874 Your local recruiting office ;-)
I absolutely love how committed to the Star Wars universe this is!!!
I seriously laughed out loud, made me feel like a kid again!!! Good job guys!!!
As a native Felucian I’m very jealous you got to use a disruptior rifle!
We don’t even find them out here in the Outer Rim!
I grew up using a DC-15 blaster rifle, they are pretty common after the clone wars.
They are heavier but I get good accuracy, enough to hunt juvenile Acklays.
I am jealous too
BlasTech Industries weapons are the shit! I once saw this kid on tatooine shoot a womprat in the eye with a DL44 from his T16 at like 50 meters away. Lost a shit load of imperial credits calling his bluff.
@EVOLICIOUS atleast you didn't loose real currency 😂
The Springfield trapdoor is one of my favourite historical firearms of all time, and I would have never thought in a thousand years to use it as a base for the Amban rifle
This "remember to have fun" video was perfect timing. Thank you. Awesome fun, awesome reminder.
This was amazing. Your productions just keep getting better. Gonna have a hard time topping this one next year!
As a Star Wars and Garand Thumb fan, this video tickles me in all the right spots. That rifle is beyond badass and so is that Mandalorian armor. Also A+ for all the Star Wars lore knowledge and references.
My dad worked for BlasTech during the transition between the Republic and the Empire, and he said that the Chancellor's Office directly requested they started making these kriffing things less than a week before The Empire was formed. Before they even *designed* the E-11!
Charles: “he’s giving me dahmer vibes”
Also Charles: wearing the most dahmer-like glasses I’ve ever seen in my life.
Whoever runs the camera needs a raise. That intro was flawless and better quality than what billion dollar studios typically produces. Seriously, amazing work.
The drip, the lore, the random nerd references. This videos is a cinematic masterpiece 🤌
I had a friend who hunted with an original trapdoor 45/70, he always kept two extra rounds in his left hand, between his fingers, you can't believe how fast he could fire three rounds, it was amazing.
based
I'm not surprised.. once we learn a set of movements, and how to repeat it, we get fast as hell..
I saw an old guy kill 3 deer (no, it wasn't legal) with a single shot break action .221 within 7 seconds
He gave 2 of them to parties who possessed the necessary tags
Said he saw us up on the hill and knew he had a clearer shot so he figured he'd just take em for all us
Talk about a hero
I believe his rifle was a H&R shotgun he made his own barrel for in Fireball but I wouldn't testify on that detail. I was 8 or 9 when this occurred
And not to undersell the undertaking that is making a barrel- he was a machinist by trade, owned a machine shop
Awesome! What a brilliant idea, must be more from the Star Wars canon you can replicate as 'real' firearms? Really enjoyed your work and presentation, look forward to more in this vein.
This was well done!
Great video! I once had an Amban myself. Different model, over under, break barrel version. Traded an old speeder, some questionable evaporators, and 800 credits to a Corellian acquaintance. I obviously got the better of that deal lol. Served me well. Sadly, I loned it to an Alderaanian friend who needed it for quick Rancor control on a farm he invested in over in the middle rim region. Took it home to show it off on his way out there and that's the last I heard of him or my Amban.
Those Alderaanian ranchers can never really be trusted, especially during the second lunar cycle.
@@jackjohnson291 He was a good guy. It was the Empire I shouldn't have trusted.
Got to watch out for those shady types selling lots of prime Alderaanian real estate at once-in-a-lifetime prices...
This is absolutely superb, I understand it’s not something you could do every day even if you wanted to, but you absolutely could produce these professionally. The production quality is superb, the weapon fires and your acting is fantastic - you never once broke character.
This was fun, ngl in character videos like these are the funnest to watch though honestly Garand Thumb videos in general are a riot 🤣
Two of my favorite things I grew up with, guns and Star Wars. Awesome job boys 👏🏻
I didn’t think anything could be more combat effective than an MA5. This is for sure a scary weapon.

I am so happy this video was created and I hope to god more like this come out.
Do you understand how much of a service you're doing to our culture when you put out videos like this!? Not only are they great for the regular viewer due to the entertainment value, but videos like this reach entirely new demographics!

The last time I recall you going into so much lore of a sci-fi product was that Halo gun a few years back. This video completely blew that one out by the way everyone in the video stayed in character and done so naturally that it felt so immersive!!
You guys are not just a quality gun channel. Y’all are a legit professional production company.
I mean, even making the entire “prop” rifle to actually fire is just way too cool!
This is one of the only videos I watched the ads for. Dedication is unreal ❤
It tickles me to watch this video and have a laugh, and then go to my favorite store, Stockpile, and see that same disruptor on the wall up for grabs. 😂 Love the content, and hope to bump into you guys at a range one day!

Agreed Ner Vod, though technically this isn’t a Mandalorian ripper, those were in effect shot guns that made their ammo into disruptor beams.
@@dogloversrule8476 I thought they were sidearms? I know of the EU just not all the details myself, so in other words... what you are telling me is the Mando Ripper is just a sawed off Benelli shotgun but powered by tabana gas.

Hilarious and love the channel. Best gun channel on UA-cam, keep it up.
As a lifelong Star Wars fan and a multiple tour Combat Vet this was AWESOME
I was having a bad week before watching this. I love the fact that they played this so straight. Fantastic work! And may the force be with you, always.
I got my geek on and my firearms needs met in a single video. My day is done. Thank you.
The dedication to the bit is insane
I actually want more videos of him reviewing star wars stuff roleplaying like this, this is incredible!
My grandfather actually utilized this as part of the wookie militia. I can always remember the stories and jokes he’d tell. “OHWHHOHAAAAHPHHHOOAOOA” ahhh, I miss those stories grandpa.
Always love the April 1 vids. Thank you all for creating this, purely for everyone’s enjoyment!
21:56 was not prepared for that. Great video, as always!
The commitment is next level. I’m obsessed 💗
I've never seen such a detailed review of the Trapdoor Disruptor, until this Tusken Thumb video. Helmets off to everyone involved!
I gotta be honest im impressed it only took him 36 man hours to make such a beautiful functional replica. I was expecting >50 hours once mike asked
Watching your Holovids always brings a smile to my face, you remind me of one of the troopers I served with while I was in the Imperial Navy.
the amount of effort you put into this is fucking funny bro, this is so entertaining
