OnlineJeff Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ok, so the T-21 is pretty much complete using Pandatrooper's tutorial... So, now that its complete, I can tell that a several hour troop may be a bit cumbersome. So what tips do you guys have for lugging this thing around and not getting exhausted in the process and avoiding bashing people with it as you troop? Do you use the strap and sling it over your shoulder when not in use? What tips and tricks do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qikstart Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I very often set the end of the barrel on the ground when I'm standing around. I've never tried to truly use the sling - I'm afraid it will put too much force on the front sight or the gas release under the barrel and break them off. When walking around, I either 1) cradle it as seen in the Garindan scene, 2) carry it at ready with hand on grip and other on the barrel, or 3) hold the stock in one hand with the barrel pointing up resting on my shoulder.

Gladius Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I used the strap only once until now, for walking to the gatheringpoint, but only with help of an experienced member, I wouldnt dare to strap it over alone. The T21 I carry often with two hands. One on the grip/handle and one on lower front near where the strap is attached: Or like this: On my first event with it, some parts were letting go or breaking off . Especially these on pic here under the rubberbands, so I had to remember the dangerzones. As I have a 2nd weapon E11 I can change pouches and do another sandtrooper what makes it a bit easier for my arms. Good luck with Your troops!

OnlineJeff Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks for the advice from both of you... I'm building the backpack now and hope to be trooping in a few months once I get everything built and approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.black Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Jeff, To be true to a character like this, as a military type, you should never put the muzzle of your weapon on the ground (for obvious reasons). I always found it easy to place the end of the butt stock on the ground and hold the barrel in one hand if it got too heavy. Also always have an e-11 in your kit to swap to later in the day.

Dwqld Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hi guys, I'm new here and just getting started. I want to carry the d21 and an e11, so my question is without a holster where ( on you) do you store your e11 when trooping. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They carried one weapon at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vf2112 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Your not really allowed to have a holster or two weapons for any 501st approved troop But if it's not an approved event either get a holster or I guess you could carry the E11 n sling the BFG ?
