troopre[TX] Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Was wondering something, if the regular scout is permitted to carry a 'sniper' rifle, would it be too far of a leap (or too much of a stretch) to extrapolate that over to the shadow scout? While it does not seem there are any common depictions of the shadow scout with a sniper rifle, would it not make sense for him/her, with their stealth capabilities, to be assigned to some sort of sniper/assassination duty? Afterall, there are MANY rebel generals and well-to-do sympathizers out that are are just more than deserving enough to receive a shot from an undetectable shadow sniper scout. Now, granted, I may be opening up that proverbial 'can-o-worms', and it's always possible the response may not be what I wanted to hear, but I figured I'd at least pose the question and put it 'out there' for the world to behold.

DruidicRifleman Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Wraith you live in a state where you can physically go for a walk and visit 3 class three machine gun dealers on foot!!! How do i know i did it on a vacation in 2008. Link to comment
Darth Agnon[501st] Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 The regular scouts have sniper rifles in the game Battlefront. I don't see why a Shadow Scout wouldn't be extended the same weaponry, especially since the Shadow Scout is the elite version of the regular scout. You both still have the title "Scout" so long range weaponry would still be a part of you repertoire. Link to comment

Also Given the kind of operations It's technically feasible that TX units would be trained with a wide variety of weaponry given the kinds of roles special operations units On a single planet take on A galactic special force's would encounter a huge array of weaponry And a wide variety of missions. it's also forseable that A shadow trooper would Be given at minimum a How not to crash a speeder bike and die course And A familiarization class with Say Seatrooper gear one would see Basics of all units with in the Special ops taught to all levels where Individuals in Shadow scout troop would specialize in scout tactics and equipment. Sea troopers specializeing in they're kit and tactics. Link to comment
ELP[501st] Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 The Starwars Encyclopedia says: "Many Scout Troopers were armed with collapsible long-range sniper rifles" ... So I don't think it's much of a stretch at all to say the Shadow scouts would use them as well. But to be 100% sure I personally would like to see a reference, even a passage from a book, that depicts the weapon in use. Link to comment
DruidicRifleman Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Is the Dl19 referred to as collapsible? Cept for replicas that do so for storage. Link to comment
065[501st] Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 All I have is a E-11......... Thought the snipers had a SE-14r Light Repeating Blaster Pistol and a E-11s sniper rifle? Link to comment

cajunwolfe[501st] Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Speaking of Scout sniper rifles, I'm currently in the process of modding out a NERF N-Strike Longstrike into that very weapon, with a twist. Using the built in equipment rails under the barrel extension, I'm thinking of adding on a removable thermal det launcher. Will post pics of the WIP, starting tomorrow night, then as I get further along with it. Bucket off to Troopre for giving me the idea. Link to comment

Is this any help to you, he does have a E11 though E-11s sniper rifle Production information Manufacturer BlasTech Industries Model E-11s sniper rifle Type Sniper rifle; modified Blaster rifle Physical and technical specifications Capacity 6 shots Usage and history Era(s) Rebellion era Affiliation Galactic Empire The E-11s sniper rifle was a heavily modified version of the E-11 blaster rifle, which was the standard issue weapon for the Empire's Scout troopers. The E-11s had a high-powered scope, allowing it to be used as a sniper weapon. In exchange for long-range power, however, the E-11s could only fire 6 shots before recharging. Also it was a very effective rifle as it could withstand any kind of weather and seldom jammed. It could shoot about 3 miles. Link to comment

cajunwolfe[501st] Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Took me a bit longer than I planned to get the WIP pics on here, but here's the first few. The ones above are after sanding to remove the NERF logos, etc. Still a bit to work on, on it, but it's coming along nicely, I think. Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 One thing I did on mine is filled in a lot of the screw holes with putty or something of the sort before painting. Really helps with the look overall. Link to comment
