This started life as a Star Wars laser tag gun. Yes, in a galaxy far away, Hans Solo chose the Broom Handle Mauser as his side arm. Mine's 100K volts, his is a lot more.

Nice looking build. Looks like you missed a few spots with your paint though. Kudos for the hinged fan though.

Looks good, I like the muzzle break! Here is a smaller one I created for my new gun...

How about a picture of the full gun after the paint?

Put a shirt on. Just kidding, you look fairly ripped. anyway, it looks like a nice, solid gun. How's its performance?

Nicest looking advanced combustion I have ever seen. The only possible improvements would be MAPP gas and a BV vent

I'm guessing it's just a typo, but it's Han Solo, not Hans Solo :D

Thanks to all, dessert camo was my first choice, it would have been a lot easier to paint after it was together instead of pre-painting and trying not to screw it up during assembly. My son wanted the black and silver and he did donate the Mauser. RPG designates Rick's Potato Gun. There won't be any holidays once I'm done with a few more mods and touchup jobs. I wish my brake was as Barret-ish as that one, mine turned out a tad bigger than I imagined. I'm not ripped, that's my son the Mauser donater. I think a yellow bottle would do well, I'm just a little worried about holding it next to my head. More mods and pics to come, I always thought it was Hans.

hah, my bad :D Though you could have just claimed you were him and we wouldn't have known. :wink:

And yeah, it is Han Solo. See? :)

I wish there was a full shot of it after the paint was applied. With no paint it's hard to see any of the fine detail work.
Though from what I can see it looks very impressive for a second attempt.

I've got the sights installed now, I'll get some more pics posted soon. Next mod is The Mount, after hearing "that thing should be mounted" a few times, I decided it could be pretty cool.
