Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Naboo S-5 Heavy Blaster Pistol

replica movie prop weapon

Naboo's security forces used this distinctive blaster in their assault on Theed Royal Palace, attempting to capture the Trade Federation Viceroy and thereby stop the invasion of Naboo. Also known as an Ascension Gun, the weapon has a dart launcher underneath the main barrel, capable of firing a grappling hook dart and cable, which memorably allowed Queen Amidala and her RNSF escort to bypass enemy forces by ascending to the next floor along an outer palace wall.

As with the original master prop, this replica blaster is built from an authentic Feinwerkbau/Beeman C55 CO2 airgun. The CO2 cartridge has been removed, and machined metal scopes, launcher, and other parts added. Resin side rails were added to obscure the FWB markings.

Built by Boba Debt, from a great conversion kit by ssdesigner.

Machined metal grappling hook dart by lonepigeon, painted by myself from reference images on The Parts Of Star Wars.
