Post by Smuah Gunnery »

Anyone know of any sources for code cylinders or belt boxes for an imperial gunner suit?

I personally have these for my TIE pilot: http://www.elvistrooper.com/xtool.htm as the type A are usually used for officers. The boxes should work for you.

Okay, so which code cylinders would the imperial gunner have then?

It is really down to personal preference. They are a non required item for approval as is the same with the belt boxes. I like the clean look of the x-tools in the jumpsuit. I have the type A dosimeters for my officer. Really though they are both fine for gunners, what ever you think looks better. Just don't mix and match.

If you haven't already here is the detachment link...http://imperialgunners.com/forum/

Also if you plan on cross using your kit...gunner to crew to pilot...the x-tools would be a better choice... :D

Cool, I just have to figure out what I like then.

Thanks for the assist!

No problem, just remember if you plan on cross using them some uniforms won't allow one or the other. :D
