I'm looking for some more realistic looking bullets for my blaster than the die cast ones that came with it. Anybody out there have a resource for this??

Gunstores, gunshops, etc. and buy .44 special ammo. Or, go online and check out reloaders, and look into some custom loaded ammo. You can request that the primer pockets be left open, or use fired primers, and no powder.

Or, we can all bug Matsuo to do a run with some high tech looking projectiles (something circa 2019) fitted to some real .44 casings.

This is all assuming that your particular blaster fits real .44 rounds (Coyles' do, I don't know about the others).

If Matsuo does a run, I'd be in. He worked with me on developing the caseless ammo for the Aliens USCM pulse rifle. I took the existing H&K caseless ammo design and Matt was able to sculpt, mold and cast some incredible rounds. Doing some prop rounds for the BR blaster should be easily done if Matt finds the time and motivation.

I'm not familiar with Matsuo - please fill me in.

Welcome to propsummit Bwood! When you do get some bullets you like, feel free to share the info, and post up some photos of the blaster and bullets.

We never, ever get sick of photos around here. Smile

I deleted your duplicate thread BTW. In the future if you have questions about something like that (posting the same topic in 2 different forums) just shoot one of the mods an email or PM beforehand.

Thanks. I got some great dummy rounds from the Prop Shop thread.

They look every bit as good as the picture, and I highly recommend them.
Work on the blaster is waiting to begin as soon as the bluing kit(s) arrive. When it is completed, pictures will follow.
