Anybody? |

IIRC, the bandoleer holds a form of MAG for his Crossbow, which IIRC fires a bolt of a laser.
|
|
Actually i think they're technically SleighBells, like Rudolph has... |
|
|
depending on which bowcaster theory you use (blaster shaped like a crossbow or actual crossbow that fires explosive bolts) it either power packs or bolt carrying magazines
|
|
Both are true! One just uses the left mouse button, the other the right. At least that is what Jedi Knight outcast and academy has tought me. |
|
|
hes a wookie... he can carry whatever the hell he wants to in his bandoleer... after all, droids arent known for pulling peoples arms out of their sockets...
|

No, wookies are! But Yuzzem are known for using droids to beat people to a bloody pulp!
(Maybe ONE of you might recognize that....from one of the very earliest books written in the Star Wars universe...by Alan Dean Foster, if I remember right. Points to the first one who names the book!) CJ |
|
Splinter of the Mind's Eye IIRC. BTW I think it's "Yuzzum" The Han Solo books were great too. |
|
|
Nice catch, both of you.
That was one of only TWO "aftermarket" Star Wars book I've ever read. Or was it just one? Darned if I can remember. I might have read two and the stories blended together somehow. Was Lando Calrissian in Splinter? I guess you could have your own LIBRARY filled with just that type of book now. Back to the original question about Chewie's bandoleer... Personally, I don't think it's a bandoleer at all. It's a Wookie cock ring! CJ |
|
probably 8mm mauser ammo on stripper clips? because they did use a German MG42 in STAR WARS, so 8mm mauser would be a possibility?
for his mauser rifle? |
|
That's not a bandoleer, it's the wookie equivalent of a gay leather outfit
|
|
The stormtroopers used MG34's and IIRC Chewbacca also had a Hollywood modified Lewis gun. |
|
|
I'm gonna have to say that's where he keeps a massive assortment of sex-toys.
|
|
The only time we see Chewie fire his bowcaster in the movies is in ROTJ when he blasts a escaping speederbike. And it looked like a blaster, though slightly heavier. Maybe he has an undermounted heavy blaster as backup to the explosive quarrels. |
|
|
Never heard that one before. |
|
|
<starwarsgeek> ANH--when Han & Luke were disguised as Stormtroopers escorting their "prisoner" Chewie to the cell block. Besides the Sterling smg based blasters that Han & Luke had they also had the Lewis based blaster that the "escaping" Chewie grabbed. Han's regular pistol is a modified C-96 Mauser "broomhandle". The droid zapping gun used by the Jawas is a cut down modified Lee Enfield. |

Splinter of the Minds Eye was a great book. I read it when I was in the 7th grade, I need to get a copy and re-read it..... |
|
|
Splinter Of The Minds Eye wasn't bad, but IMO the Han Solo pre "A New Hope" books were better.
|

You sir would be correct. The bowcaster was a weapon often used by wookies because of its strength and ease of use. Much like the Chinese Chu Ko Nu it accepted a magazine power pack that allowed it to fire one bolt after another however the bolts were energy rather wood/iron. The purpose of the bowcaster, just like its real life father the crossbow, was more on power than quick firing. |
|
|
Yes they were! |
|
|
A couple of 40's...Red Bull and Thunderbolt.....only .50 cents a gallon
|
|
A copy of the Star Wars Christmas Special.
It's the only thing keeping him from becoming a Rug on Skywalker Ranch. |
|
a bunch of flasks, maybe wild turkey. Takes alot to the big guy twisted.
|
|
No. That book came after A New Hope and before The Empire Strikes Back. I remember reading it in grade school too. |
