Hi I would love to hear which gunmetal colors you used? Which one for the lighter sections and which one for the barrel and the rest. Thanks in advance. Dennis

We've remolded this bad boy and now offer both styles of DLT-19 and DLT-19X. We're working on the Lewis Gun but it depends on how many are interested.

Hello. I was asked to make an introduction and explain my/our background. I personally have worked in the film industry for over 35 years. From Independence Day to Pirates of the C to Transformers to Dark Knight to Iron Man to Avengers, etc. I've been a 501st member since 2003 or 2005. I created the original rubber blasters for the 501st as Sci-fire.com and then later Hyper-Firm. I gave that company over to someone else to continue so I could spend more time with my wife and son. In 2017, I created Praetorian Blasters designed to do less quantity but higher quality. In 2021, I was hired by Lucasfilm/Disney to be the Property/Droid Illustrator and oversee all prop and droid manufacturing for the series "Obi-Wan". I was then re-hired to "Mandalorian S3", "Ahsoka" and more recently in 2024 "Mando and Grogu". I've also worked on "Boba Fett" and "Skeleton Crew" to lesser degrees. Many of my blasters from Praetorian were used on these productions simply because I'd already done the work to create masters, etc. I've been making rubber blasters and armor for over 20 years (I'm old). Now that we're done with Mando for the time being, I've returned to our shop in Louisiana and we are working on several shows at once and continuing the blasters for the 501st members.

Hey guys. It's been a minute. We just finished working on The Mandalorian and Grogu film in Los Angeles. My partner and I returned to our shop in Louisiana and finally got around to setting up the blaster store on our site. We have people who are permanent employees here molding and casting for us on a daily basis. Please check it out when you get a chance. I've just started populating the store page. Praetorian Blasters We had to leave Etsy and Facebook due to these being "restricted" items by their book. Not sure why but it is what it is. Basically every blaster we make is legacy and/or canon at this point but you should research and make sure that our products meet the criteria of the 501st. IF we do not, we will try to ensure that we will in the future within reason of course.
