eltee Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Hello. New guy here, but a SW fan since the beginning. Been a cop since the late 70's, been a licensed gun dealer working on real and prop guns since the mid-80's. As I prepare to retire from real police work, I may join up with the MEPD Here are a couple of my blasters. This one is made from an MGC "non-gun" Sterling. It was partially built by the U.S. rep for BAPTY in Los Angeles: This one is made from a real DEWAT Sterling SMG with a real counter, etc.: Here's the one Lando carried when he was forced to help the Imperial Troopers in Cloud City. It differs in many ways from the "Rebel Blaster" and is made from a DEWAT real Sterling SMG: This one is displayed with my trooper mannequin. It is metal, but I cannot recall the history on this one. It is lighter than the MGC and real Sterling blasters but I don't remember the source (I have blasters dating back to the 80's): Here are blasters shown next to an unaltered Sterling SMG: I've got the MR E-11 and Rebel Blaster, some resin versions, an upgraded Hasbro or two but I thought these were the most interesting. Please forgive me if I am being a little show-offy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eltee Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 @ Dirty Boy, Yep...I'll bet you do, buddy! The Sterlings are great guns. The UK police forces used them until the 90's in some areas for their special weapons units. In some areas, they used the 10 round shorty mags, rumored to be the inspiration for the E-11 mags. The ten rounders reportedly made the guns easier to secure and carry, were less intimidating to the population and discouraged cops from "spraying and praying."
