So it's generally referred to as the ars gun?

ARS-15... kinda a play on the fact this guy play Arsenal on Arrow

I'll check with the owner of blastec, it says blaster components but you seem to describe it like a slug thrower?

And apologies, as an englishman I find the notion of an arse gun amusing

well I can modify if I need too... thinking blaster bolts... this is my first sub on anything like this...

And yes if you want to call it an Arse gun you can

Ok this is a good primer for you:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/E-11_blaster_rifle

A blaster typically has two capacities. First of all a gas canister and secondly a power pack. They wouldn't have a "magazine"

20 shots per power pack is probably perfectly sensible for a small weapon.

Okay after reading the article there was minimal changes which really needed to be made here. Power packs, or cells, and the gas cartiges, or chambers, are similar to magazine and co2 cartridge used in air soft weapons...

I particularly like the bit about the fact they actually used 9mm rounds for filming. Seems like blaster bolts de expend casings and behave like a rifle or pistol...

Yup, it was really just "magazine" than needed changing. Thanks for taking time to read, review and modify!
