This seller also has what appears to be a 303 launcher.....(the right name misses me...) but I do know it has been discussed and described in other threads.


This is the item number 190433674239


Seller is describing it as a Star Wars Jawa Blaster....... go figure.

It wouldn't be very hard to take an old enfield and make one of these would it? That is if one wanted to destroy a good rifle, but a worn out barrel one is another matter

The cut down rifle with cup he has listed isn't exactly what would be mounted to a carrier. But it would be good for passing beers around

The small cup launcher was for Number 68 A/T grenades and Number 36 fragmentation grenades when fitted with a metal gas check disc. But the seller does have the larger size smoke discharger what goes on a carrier in another listing.

The shortened Enfield with a grenade launcher was used in the original Star Wars movie as a prop weapon. Almost all of the weapons in the film were British or German WWI and WWII firearms with the exception of the postwar Sterlings. If you watch closely in the pre-digital remastered films, you can see the muzzle flashes and brass cases ejecting as blanks are being fired in the assault scenes. Lazer blasts got dubbed in with the muzzle flashes which helped tie in the effect of the people actually firing their weapons.

Attachments show two shots of the grenade launcher on shortened Enfield rifle, one of a British WWI Lewis Gun, and two shots of German WWI MG15s.

Figure I might as well post a few more shots for related entertainment value...

Two shots showing Sterlings and two showing German WWII MG34s.

Amazing what passes for futuristic weaponry. Looks good though if you don't pause the film

Cheers David for posting the pictures. I've loved the fact that they were using WW1 and 2 weapons for the imperials for years. Never knew about the Jawa weapon though.
