I saw this in the new Star Wars Battlefront footage. (Trailer here, lots more gameplay on YT.)

Recognise it at all?

Spoiler:

It's the receiver and scope of an FG-42


And barrel of an MG-42!


In game it's for the specialist class (sniper) as the "Valken 38X".

I thought it was common knowledge, the star wars weapons are a mix of modified real life weapons. Nothing new for me.

That weapon looks like an FG42 and an MG42 had a child :p

But yeah, so many Star Wars weapons are WW2-inspired. Han Solo's signature weapon is actually a C96, for example.

On another note, damn the game looks good. Not exactly a realistic shooter but it looks like a lot of fun, much better than the current Battlefront, though I'm disappointed to see Rey on Naboo during the Clone Wars...

Well, now they have half of WWII gun models ready for a new game :laugh:

Haha my thoughts exactly xD Who knows...?

What's cool is that this is a new gun designed just for the game. I like that they are still doing WWII guns even for just game weapons.

See the spoiler in the OP ;)

I think it's just because they don't have all the hero characters yet so they have Rey on clone wars, etc..

Looking forward to this game!

Star Wars was never realistic in terms of shooting... look at the stormtroopers, they can´t aim even if their life depended on it...

That's the one. It does look like a pretty big improvement over the 2015 release. I've seen gameplay and it looks great.
