Horrable Newbie Question

[Leandra]

I'm really new to armor so I have no idea where I would acquire a blaster. I am hoping to work towards EIB with my armor, so need to find out where I could get an appropriate blaster. I'm not really the best at making things like that (boffer weapons I can do, blasters not so much.) Any help that can be offered on where to go to get one would be great.

 

Thank you.

 

 

PS. I'm not sure if this is even where I should of posted this, so if it needs to be moved go ahead.

The cheapest way is to get an Hasbro blaster and a doopy doos kit.

 

Or get a PVC pipe and the doopy kit and make it yourself.

 

Doopy sells finished blaster aswell, as does Vern (TKbondservnt) here on the board.

I'm sure there are other makers here too, which surely will chime in.

FYI, doopy doos sells kits on ebay. I've bought twice from them. Good quality, fast shipping.

And if you're going from EIB to Centurion one day keep in mind Hasbro blasters aren't accepted for Centurion.

SciFire also offers hyperfirm weapons for about $225 or so that you need do nothing with at all. They will work for EI and most all Centurions even.

looked at the doopy doos site, found a blaster I liked. But it was $144 for shipping

Going to look into that. Much cheaper than the doopy doos one I looked at.

Try also contacting Vern. Excellent service from him and fast shipping too

If you want the cheaper option, go with the hasbro mod. That's what I did.

I am trying to avoid a hasbro one, or I would cannibalize my son's blasters. He has a nice collection of toy blasters for a 4 year old.

I have the old doopy do's kit on hand and ready to build.

metal sight rail, metal power cells on the mag well.

metal D ring.

 

heavy grade PVC tube and tapered T Tracks actually bent into holes.

Nothing except for adding the D-ring.

Which is easily solved
