The Real Weapons That Inspired Star Wars’ Iconic Arsenal – Loadout
The Star Wars universe is full of iconic weapons that feel like they could be real…and that’s because they sort of are. From their original creation back in the mid 1970s through to their appearances in the latest movies, and games like Star…
Thanks for watching everyone!
As a big lover of sci-fi and firearms history this was a blast to make!
I'm excited to hear what you all think, as always let me know your thoughts or what you'd like to see an episode on either below or you can reach out to me on Twitter @IrregularDave
Also….did everyone else spot the FP-45 Liberator in Din Djarin's case in Book of Boba Fett? 👀
These need less Dave and more Jonathan…
I’m a Star Wars fan but “using real world weapons as an inspiration” is stretching it. They just added random bits on obscure (and sometimes just cool looking) guns they could get their hands on
Great video, only critique is that the Scatter Gun was actually first seen in Republic Commando, and then later appeared in Clone Wars and the new Battlefronts.
Let's all agree that whenever GameSpot uploads our days get so much better
I watched until they mentioned the rebooted battlefront. Ugh…
This is part of what makes Star Wars feel a bit more grounded than other scifi. Even their blasters look like real weapons cuz they're based on real weapons
The scatter gun is from republic commando
Great video as ever
The scattergun is from Republic Commando, then used on Clone Wars later.
GEORGE LUCAS BUILT THESE GUNS WITH A PILE OF SCRAP
actually the scattergun was from Republic commando
Is this vid sponsored by PUBG Mobile?
wake up babe new loadout dropped
Ninja theory video games are cool

This was such a great and unique look no wonder it became iconic.
I always liked how the DLT-19 Heavy Blaster was simply an MG-34 machinegun with the barrel removed from inside the shroud to make it lighter for the actors to carry around. In some shots you can actually see right through the thing through the cooling holes.
10:43 the scatter gun was actually first in republic commando found in the second and third sections of the game
question: due to not having any weight affected by grafity, there would not be any "bullet" drop with lasers (i assume). So wouldn't the laser shots go up over distance because of the earth being round but the laser keeps traveling in a straight line?
and can different lasers produce different "bullet" speeds?
I find these videos so interesting, you’ve earned my subscription. And I don’t even like Star Wars… 🤣
See GameSpot you have to put Jonathan in the thumbnail or people just won't click.
SW franchise is dead, now its just a Star Fan Service as book of Bobba Fett had shown.
Fonrtunately enough i never liked SW much.
Another favorite Star Wars gun of mine from the franchise that wasn’t covered in this video was the cycler rifle based on the Afghan jahzeel matchlock firearm.
Hi you talked about the clone wars, what is about the DC 15 A and C? And more important, the Z 6 rotary canon? I would have liked your thougts on that too
me shouting very loudly
IT’S AN ABSOLUTE SHAME EA CANCELLED BATTLEFRONT II, WHICH WAS THRIVING, TO MAKE ANOTHER BATTLEFIELD TITLE THAT HAS YET TO LIVE UP TO THE SAME EXPECTATIONS
Could check roblox fps game phantom forces there many gun that unique in it
Look at the weapons of the Halo tv show!
An atheist: what's your religion
Star wars fans: 2:37
him: now im interested
My favorite thing is when a real world weapon makes its way into Star Wars without any changes because it already looks so weird. Like the FP-45 in Book of Boba or Rey's blaster in TRoS (which seems to literally just be a Mosin-Nagant Obrez with some silver paint)
Pretty good mini-doc on the weapons of SW, Dice's "Battlefront" shilling aside of course.
This is why I love a Sten submachine gun and an MG42.
I want to see the EM-2 in Star Wars some day. It's perfect to be greeblied into a blaster
Hmmm
this is precisely why whenever I make a star wars character in any kind of star wars fiction, I use IRL guns to describe their weapon. for example im playing a Mando pilot who uses a Mr-90 proton rifle (based off the Heckate II), and a Westar-35 Blaster pistol (based off the Hudson H9)
even the new movies did something similar by using the AR-15 platform to design one of their new blasters. without it being a normal gun that shoots lasers. They LOOK like blasters while still LOOKING like they would work, and work well. there is no reason to have a weapons ejection port/exhaust port point right at the users hand, or for a trigger to have no guard.
Stormtrooper blasters were a sten gun with a ten round clip instead of the normal 30 round curved mag, there are two scenes in "A new hope" where you can see and hear spent shells falling to the floor: the Prison break when han shoots the com console and the shaft scene where lea fires on the storm troopers a deck above, look closely and you can see them being ejected and actually hear them hitting the deck the sound is unmistakeable.
The best thing is you guys could easily make a part 2 and 3.
Black guns on a black background was maybe not a great choice. Content of this video was awesome. Just had that minor production issue.
Can your channel please do Titanfall 2 with Jon Ferguson!
"George Lucas built a franchise in a cave… with a box of scraps!"
Have u ever watched the prequels because the dc-15a used by the clones looks almost exactly like the sterling with little to no extra attachments
