bearings[TK] Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 Check out the 2 photos of the F-11D from NYCC http://strw.rs/60148fuBK 1 Quote
Flyrail47 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 Looks like they added a D ring to the left side below the barrel, and added a flashlight to barrel the magwell side. I'm guessing it's to keep the weapon holster-able despite not having the holster screws attached? The flashlight doesn't seem too bulky, but I feel that it takes away from the clean, streamlined nature of the First Order design theme. Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 There is also a D-ring and mount attached to the rear stock. Looks like a slung F-11D rifle is now going to be an option. Even with holster screws, I can't see how you would holster a rifle. I agree with the extra flashlight - it just doesn't seem to gel with the clean lines of the F-11D and with First Order weaponry in general. With the tactical flashlight still being there, its also completely unnecessary. Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 Prop maker at LFL must have shares in a torch company, seems everything gets a torch these days Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 Look what they did to Kylo Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Most important thing I notice is that this blaster was cast from a mold and not 3D printed like all the TFA blasters. This probably explains the reason of that extra flashlight by the way. They had to add it because they were probably unable to make the former system work with casting. The handle is also looking different. Much slimier, with a weird cut-out to the back. Overall, this blaster is probably better suited for screen-use, but doesn't look as clean and sharp as the ones from TFA. I like the sling mounts though. One really funny thing is that the white cap on the magazine is glued on backwards! Haha, I wonder if all the blasters in the film will have that same issue.

Harbinger[IPM] Posted October 13, 2017 Report Posted October 13, 2017 I'm going to see if I can just use some magnets to swap from TFA to TLJ mode. Should be doable. Quote
funkster[TK] Posted January 14, 2020 Report Posted January 14, 2020 Sorry to necro this post. Newly cleared Snowie here and TLJ TK in production. Did we get any clearer shots of the F11s from TLJ? The scene where Finn and Rose are about to be executed has a standard size F11 with the rail on the barrel (no flashlight) and the Snowies all carry the larger rifle with the flashlight Quote

However, the heavy F-11D linked in the first post of this thread doesn't have them, so it might just be an error from the propmakers specific to this blaster. Quote
funkster[TK] Posted January 14, 2020 Report Posted January 14, 2020 Good spot It was the handle cut out I was trying to get pics of, but of course that’s nearly always obscured Quote
JAFO[TK] Posted January 14, 2020 Report Posted January 14, 2020 Here’s another perspective. Still no grip though.(Personal Collection. Screen Grab. TLJ Behind the Scenes)Funny how they reference them as E11 Blasters.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote
funkster[TK] Posted January 14, 2020 Report Posted January 14, 2020 Thanks Darren Have tried pausing the film as the troopers have the blaster on their holsters but they’re too far away to see the grip properly Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted January 14, 2020 Report Posted January 14, 2020 Ooh, the cocking channel has been swaped from the left/hand side of the blaster to the right/hand side. That's kind of an important design modification actually. Quote

funkster[TK] Posted January 15, 2020 Report Posted January 15, 2020 There’s definitely something there which looks like the cocking channelThe D ring on the end. Is that meant to be there??Sorry to seemingly opened up a can of worms Quote

JAFO[TK] Posted January 15, 2020 Report Posted January 15, 2020 In these images you can also see the cocking lever through the rail. Looks like TFA reuse likely.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote
JAFO[TK] Posted January 15, 2020 Report Posted January 15, 2020 And whilst blurry you can see a mix of TFA and TLJ blasters. In one quick frame from the documentary you also see the flash of the cocking leaver.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote
