Definitely ,at least, an E-11 is a must. I own most of the Star Wars guns Lewis has done. Still need that publicity ESB pistol that I missed out on. Excellent for trooping, in my opinion.
I can understand all the work that went into it and it not really being used.
I do agree with Caomhanach about those being minimum standards. That is what it very much seems to be happening and I would imagine that is the way things are going to go with all the costumes to join Legion with basic/minimum standards. It helps get numbers into the Legion but at the cost of having a completely uniform movie type look. MEPD deployed would be "Elite" type status. Just my 2 pennies worth.
