    I actually had no idea the blasters were based on real weapons since I'm not really familiar with firearm types. I think it's good to borrow from real-world functional designs, it makes the fictional universe feel a little more grounded and believable. Plus, it's interesting to see some informative content on this neglected lore topic. Not a whole lot of people seem to talk about the equipment the characters use.

    Forgotten Weapons has some decent videos that go into more detail on this topic. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that WW2 guns look so good in a sci fi setting.

    The FG42's bolt design was also derived from the Lewis gun. As was the M60's. Firearms and Star Wars knowledge take up most my brain 🙃😂.

    The S-5 Heavy Blaster Pistol used by the Naboo Palace guards in The Phantom Menace were based on the Feinwerkbau C55 Model Air Gun used by European target shooters. It was modified with a top scope and side scope, an underbarrel dart launcher, and a grappling hook device.

    Basing the blasters off of WW2 guns would make sense, considering the original trilogy was just WW2 in space.
    I mean, the empire uses stormtroopers for crying out loud!

    And people were bitching about that blaster rifle from "Andor" looking like an AK-47. 😏
    By the way, I'm surprised that neither that blaster, nor the WESTAR-35 blaster (which looks a lot like semi-automatic handguns like a glock or desert eagle) made this list. Might be worth making a part 2.

      In all honesty if this video does well we will make a part 2 for sure. We are generally more niterested in star wars stories then this type of video so this was kinda expermental because of the sorry state of our channel.

      Would love to but my perfectionist nature makes making these torture... I've watched this over 50 times before it was finished and wasted 2 weeks on literally nothing. Basically on stuff you guys would never even notice in the video. It's a sickness XD I'm very hard on myself when it comes to makeing something the best I can. It sucks.
