The mk 2 is difficult to reassemble and well.... it shoots 22lr.
these 2 are not the same.
I get the love for movie prop guns, I would love to have a working robocop gun or blades modded mac12 but comparing the ruger mk2 to the 1911 is a bit of a stretch.
And I looked up the naboo blaster, the elg3a. Does not have much more than a passing resemblance to a mk2 and was certainly not based on one. Unlike the sterling stormtrooper guns, whatever they were called.
The previous thread was closed, so I will clarify this here.
Psychologically speaking, the Romanticism of a firearm or "blaster" from one movie is identical to the Romanticism of a firearm from another movie. The emotions experienced as a result are identical. That doesn't constitue any direct comparison between the different firearms nor does it mean that they are identical in nature, history, or popularity.
For example, my Father carried a Colt 1911 in the Marines as a Combat Engineer during the Korean War. I saw the 1911 used in several war movies as a child and as a result I romanticized it so much that my Grandmother gave me a Colt Officers ACP 1911 while I was a teenager after I completed 3 different gun classes at St Bernard Indoor Shooting Center. I took good care of it and only removed it from my room to go to the range. If I had romanticized the Ruger MK2 instead of the 1911, I would have received one of those instead, and the emotions would have been identical.
In other words, the love of one firearm is emotionally identical to the love of a totally different firearm.
My previous attempt to explain this was completely misunderstood. I hope this second attempt is understood.
