The weapons Stormtroopers carry around? Nono, those are E-11s.

I think another SWGeen pointed out that Storm Troopers us I guess an E13 (not sur eif thats what he said) But our E11's arent exactly what Stormtroopers Carry.

I guess your talking about the "Stormtrooper" look (small black scope, folded up arm rest) these can be made by weaponsmiths but you'll probably have to custom order them as most weaponsmiths don't do unique looking guns because it requires them to make them by hand and not mass produced. Also adding these parts can screw your guns HAM cost if the weaponsmith didn't bother to experiment on the parts. There are a lot of visual add ons that can be placed on guns to make them look unique (EE3s that look like Fett's, DL-44s that look like Han's) but it requires weaponsmiths to make them one at a time and in this game time is money and most players in this game could care less about RPing and more about being uber leet duod #13656987 to let that 5 extra HAM cost slip in on there gun.

i have noticed most guns even with special add ons like a scoped DL44 you personally see the scope.but it seems sometimes others dont see the little extra on a gun.i sold the gun and he equiped it and it looked like a stock DL44 with no scope.

Thanks for the responses guys. I realize this kinda thing would have to be special order, and I realize that the gun would most assuredly suck.
But, I'm getting this for roleplaying purposes... I already have my t3h uber-r0XX0rz guns, I'd like some more immersion.
And looking over it, it makes sense that it's a foldable stock, didn't think of it. I guess my big question was if it was possible.
But I'll just start throwing around credits and we'll see. Thanks again, everyone.

Hey all.
I just had a quick question about the E-11 Carbine/Rifle. From just about every model I've seen built, it seems to be lacking from the true E-11 form. *points up above to Stormies toting the scoped carbines* Scopes are a no-brainer... but notice the extra support running under the barrel? I don't know. I'm sure it's just a stupid cosmetic question, but is there a way (maybe by adding a stock?) to make the E-11 true to it's form?
Check out the E-11s on the Imperial Recruiter tables in Theed, and you'll see what I mean.\
Thanks everyone,

There is more to it than this. In order to make any reasonable substanance in the game, you have to sell guns from crates. I wanted to do custom made guns from the ground up when I first became a weaponsmith. But there is no way I could afford to pay for my harvestors if I did it. And, even if I did, I have found noone who has asked me for this type of service yet. I would love to sell weapons like this (custom made from the ground up), but the time it would take me means most people would prefer to have a weapon out of a crate rather than the custom made weapon.

I've looked at the guns in question, and I think that one guy (my memory sucks) was right--they look like E-13's or Elite Carbines, not E-11's. Still, though, if an E-11 COULD be made to look like that, I'd go and get one made to go with my other four.

Heh, I honestly feared I would be flamed into oblivion for starting this thread. Thanks again so much for all the constructive help, guys. The reason I've asked these questions is because ofwhat I've seen in game (it might be a E-13 STs carry in the SW universe.. but I'm trying to live on in-game mechanics here.)

That, is a pic of the E-11 on the recruiter table in Theed. I guess the big question I have here, is if I can get a weapon made to look exactly like that. It looks like the bottom support running along underneath the barrel is a foldable stock.. so.. is that all we need to add to the schematic?
And no worries. Naritus has some great weaponsmiths who have plenty of time to make custom orders, (if you throw enough credits at them.
) And I'd love to run around with somethin like in that pick in full ST armor.
Anyone ever made it? Thanks a ton, guys.
