ANH Hero DL-44 Discussion - Three ANH Greeblies Found

The one you'll see on the show and on the video is the one I built for him. Mine was there the whole time, but it doesn't make any footage.

The movement is insane to watch at 8000+ frames a second. But you can watch any gun shimmy and shake at those high frame rates.

His gun will cycle with the steel flash hider, but Jerry outshoots it due to the weight slowing down the action. So for all the shooting footage for the youtube video it's the aluminum one.

The bull barrels are all steel.

The TV show footage should have all steel, since he wasn't doing speed runs then.

Also, the three pieces of DEC tomtit radials fell off a few times from being stingy on epoxy, so Brock re-glued that on between the time I built it and we shot the youtube videos.

We also replaced the original cast run mount, as it was he'd on with two screws, but wasn't strong enough. The new dovetail version was miles better, but even it started to give up it's shape in the face of recoil toward the end.

Mine is still going perfectly fine though, since it's all steel aside from the flash hider.

I've put about 1000 rounds through mine so far.

So I think we need to revisit aluminum or steel for the scope mount instead of the cast pewter alloy for strength. Otherwise it's pretty great.

There'll be some good high speed footage of my ESB in action too.
 
I would be too..

Also, I picked up this book at an estate sale on Friday. Mint condition so all the b&w pictures are really nice. I learned quite a bit just from skimming through it, like the c96 was produced in the late 1800s and for WWI and they're nearly identical, save for stamping marks. I even see Stembridge blaster grips in there, let me know if creating an imgur album is a good idea?

This looks awesome. Also, Jerry kinda nailed the timing on those lines. Can't wait.

I would most certainly be in for any of these pieces if your suggesting a run?


Oh no I meant solely in the context of making a live fire. The pewter is great for static or electronic props. Just not real recoil from live ammo.
 
Here's the final video for Jerry Miculek's channel that I went to build the blaster for and help film for the YouTube video. The TV show episode won't air until spring time but you can see it in action now.

Also my esb live fire is in this video.

hey Scott !

That is way cool.!

Thanks...

I guess you need to make the live fire TFA m712 next!
Don't think I want to be too close to that when tested !
 
Nice, Scott! At 8000 frames that gun looks like it's made of rubber. And congrats, they gave you a very nice credit at the end.

Nice to know I have one of the four firing DL-44's that he was talking about. :D
 
Great video. I've been following Jerry (and pro shooting in general) for many years. When he started up the youtube channel with his daughter and Brock I was really hoping for this kind of content.

Really cool stuff.

Well, the count was off a little. There's four ACCURATE Han ANHs (Mine, Yours, Andy's, and now Brock's) and one Luke ESB. The other live fire that I know of was from the shooting illustrated article, but that's got some whacky build parameters, even on the wrong base gun. So not sure where that falls if you're talking strictly about accuracy.

There's about to be a few more though. ^_^ However, I'm going to cap it off after the next three that are in the pipeline.

Also, yeah... seeing guns that you'd think are super rigid fire at super high speed... they flex and wobble all over the place. Ar-15s shimmy and shake. These are actually pretty fairly stout considering the recoil force.
 
I'm finding it hard not to talk crap about that one now but I'm holding my tongue!

And pretty much every gun looks like a piece of crap when filmed in high speed so the wobble associated with the parts isn't that much of a concern.

For those unaware, I'm Brock (the person Scott has been working with).

Hey Brock.

Didn't look like crap from where I was sitting !

Great work.

Impressive that Jerry could hammer those targets with that vintage pistol...most impressive ! :ninja

Jerry don't need no sights !

Very brave bangin that steel with that 763 . up close...

I know he is ultra safe, but I would be fraidie- scared ! :$


Even more impressive that he had no sights! Thanks for the kind words. Scott gets all the credit on the pistol though lol.
