pandatrooper Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 You could try the hyperfirm / sci fire ones, or doopydoos makes a resin version a well. You could try contacting woodchuck as well, he makes custom wood ones. Another option is to scratch build your own from wood and pvc pipe.

DirtyBoy Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Echo what panda said... I would personally stay away from the resin blasters though. It's very difficult to find a straight one that will hold up to trooping. The e11's are fine because of their length but the dlt's are too long. Spend the extra on a hyperfirm or comparable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith'ari Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 What is a hyperfirm made of? Are they fragile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD9323 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 What is a hyperfirm made of? Are they fragile? Rubber! You can toss them on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hyperfirms are a custom mixed rubber "skin" and the inside is lightweight foam. They put carbon / glass rods inside to keep the baster rigid. Some of the best trooping blasters ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodman Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 either way, They come painted but you can ask for it unpainted if you want to do it yourself. Here's a link to my DLT-19 paint tutorial, http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=7258 I will also paint it for you if you want just PM me for info.

sandtrooper Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I'll keep that in mind, Woody. Right now I'm just trying to get the armor paid for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodo Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I've never owned a Hyperfirm before...so I'm ignorant when it comes to them....But is there a seam,etc. that runs down them or anything? I can't wrap my head around how they're made, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I think they are cast in silicone molds. The seam is very small, and couple be trimmed / ground down when they make them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 The seam is hardly visible at all. And... if you feel like you need to... you can easily sand it down more. They also will only do so many pulls from a mold before they recast from the originals. So you don't get degraded quality over the years / months / weeks from multiple pulls off the same molds. They are top quality and worth every single cent!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Oh... and... the "rubber" they use is like military grade gun replica rubber. It's not like tennis shoes soles, or anything that squishy. It's pretty amazing stuff. Okay. That's all (for now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Hyperfirm is truly an amazing product....as previously mentioned you will be extremely happy in the short and long term use of the product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 The detailing present is outstanding, they are perfect casts of the original guns. I know, someone says "rubber" and you automatically think soft and floppy but that is not the case they are hard like a tire. I have a T-21, DLT-19 and an EE-3 ROTJ. You can read the ingraving on these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb7043 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 i contacted doopydoos about there dlt-19... they wont ship to the US due to the shipping cost being close to the cost of the prop... like 2 bills. thats 450 for a resin... you can find a guy that does a kit for 225 out of australia on the 501st forums... look under for sale/ trade for DLT-19 kit run... or find a hyperfirm for that price... believe me man i've lookde for this awesome gun and came upempty handed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb7043 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 p.s. 2 friends of mine have hyperfirms... i'm thinking about getting a police record casue i want to B and E into their homes and steal them when they are sleeping. These things are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
