Darth Larch
New Hunter
Just throwing out a thought here. With the Supertrooper spec sheets recently posted, is there nothing on there that gives any clue to the original rocket parts? It seems ridiculously detailed even listing MQ-1 parts, etc. for the gauntlets.
It does seem likely to be a found part. If it were machined based on concept design, you would think it would look more like what it's supposed to be! With those holes in the nose and the little nib at the tip, it's not all that rocket-like (aerodynamically speaking). And if it is supposed to be a laser (which I've heard it called before), it doesn't look much like that either (no hole for the beam to exit).
Anyway, just pondering... :confused
