Adam Savage Examines the Blade Runner 2049 Blasters!

[@tested]

Adam Savage has had the pleasure of going behind the scenes of several films and TV shows. Check out our playlist of videos from those set visits! bit.ly/2YpN8qu

[@bradleyholcombe6114]

I'd like to think that at 0.43 you were trying to curb your inner nerd to be at least semi professional about this.

[@oldDan-l1c]

awesome video. Would love to know what that outro synth piece was!

[@TheGoldSwordSquad]

Adam is such a great host because he is always so passionate and interested

[@xenonram]

Brilliant He's always so passionate because this is _his_ channel, and its sole purpose is to cater to _his_ passions.

[@rekunta]

Brilliant yup, like a kid in a candy store. Always nice to see.

[@celticarchie]

So true, he's like a kid in a candy store! :D

A national treasure.

[@0meat]

It's a replica replicant blaster.

[@stevendavies2382]

they replicated it!

[@ooloncolluphid7904]

And now Adam wants to make a replica of the replica of the replicant blaster. Hey, what the fuck? Why does "replicant" come up on my spellcheck? Come on, KZbin, get with the program!

[@rolanddeschain7297]

Adam savage was the first thing that came to my head when watching the new blade runner and seeing the new blaster. I was hoping for this video to happen because you really didn't see that much of the new gun in blade runner 2049. Awesome movie btw Fingers crossed Mr. savage does a one day build of this :)

[@Markus__B]

I´m more hoping for a Multi-Episode "One Decade Build" ;)

[@mattigrafikboi_gametwo]

Yeah same thought ;-)

[@res1492]

lol one day build...did you not hear him say it took 4 years for the other one

[@PanzerBuyer]

How would you rate the new movie? I give it 4 out of 10 stars.

[@picklesmakes9104]

Roland Deschain me too! I have been waiting for this video!

[@spinakker14]

I wish I had a girlfriend who looked at me as Adam looks at those guns

[@spinakker14]

or who looked at "my guns"? amirite?

[@robdcollector2808]

spinakker ...go on vacation out of the country...theyll look at you like a movie star!

[@azynkron]

@@robdcollector2808 Why would they do that?

[@revdaddy6934]

[@meh6953]

Facts!

[@HomegirlKikimora]

Every time actual Bladerunner props come up, I'm just hoping the person showing Adam them, would be like "Here you can have this."

[@microbuilder]

2:30 Adam cant stoop ogling the gun 2:33 Doug: "This is the next generation blaster..." 2:35 Adam cant put gun down fast enough to see the new one 7:28 Adam goes to heaven lol

[@thomasjbrablec]

I love the way he pets it at the end when he has to return it to its case, like "Goodbye, my precious, we will meet again."

[@hector_2999]

Dual wielding. 😁

[@RySin89]

I hope once the movie wraps up that he send one to Adam, nobody on planet earth would cherish it more than him.

[@compfox]

I would !

[@kimaboe]

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't, Comp Fox, considering that Adam has spent thousands of dollars and 36 years building two dozen replicas of the original DL44.

[@SierraLimaOscar]

I half expected the last scene to end with Adam putting a half assed papier maché approximation of the blaster into the foam cutout and scampering away with the real thing.

[@scottmantooth8785]

that would have been perfect

[@jayn8392]

I actually really liked the new blaster design. Had enough modern and enough retro design to be really cool.

[@JasonPolkovitz]

Beautiful pieces. I adore watching Adam get so excited about props and design. It is so wonderful to see a person be so passionate about his craft and his fellow craftspersons. Adam's the ultimate prop-tart and we love him for it.

[@Icedogg03]

Much like how they got serious about the DL-44. I would like to see Tested do an in depth Firefly/Serenity "Frontier Model B" build, using an actual Taurus 38 as the base, in honor of the show's 15th anniversary. Maybe even bring in Nathan Fillion???

[@datswissguy5387]

Did you see the destiny 2 ace of spades gun that the developers gave Fillion? It's also pretty neat.

[@CadenUnnasch]

As I'm currently making a Frontier Model B, this would be awesome to see!

[@ooloncolluphid7904]

Now there's a big box of "Hmmmmmm...." You should suggest that on the channel home. I'd like to see Vera, too!

[@rafindeed3708]

As a concept artist student, i just can't imagine the weight of the duty to create a next gen blaster for such iconic piece. Great job, guys. When i was watching the movie i could really feel the love you guys put into the design.

[@JL-tf6vc]

[@MrSolidBlakeGaming]

You can see Adam’s happiness doing this. I mean he can’t stop smiling and he’s almost jumping in place... it’s awesome how passionate he is

[@directorcass]

Those Tomenosuke blasters look awesome....

[@montlejohnbojangles8937]

There's nothing happier than a happy Adam Savage.

[@_WillCAD_]

Awesome props, and awesome design for the next gen blaster. Saw the movie myself on Thursday (10/5) and I was seriously impressed with the production design - very faithful to the original without looking dated or clunky at all, especially the new car and the new blaster. And yes, I fully expect Adam to build a next gen blaster himself, probably after a visit by Doug to Adam's shop. And it will be awesome. Because Adam will undoubtedly incorporate a fully working trigger, sliding hammer, and working LED, just like the hero props from the film. Because that's who Adam Savage is, and that what Adam Savage cares about.

[@gutar5675]

5:27 "I loved the guns in oblivion" . I know he's talking about the movie, but I find it funny for some reason

[@TheIroncross6]

Doug should have given credit to Tomenosuke & Adam knows better. They may have made one Hero from scratch but most of those blasters are a kit from Tomenosuke; not fabricated by hand from scratch like he is claiming. That is why Adam is not raving over the classic blasters and is fascinated by the rubber one and the new versions. It's because he knows what they are and has several.

[@neosporing]

I think he's just so happy to be on the in side had to have access. To be part of the short film Etc. he's just straining not to say anything disparaging about the film or the people involved. you can just see in his face though how much he hates this new blaster.

[@edwinbailey6942]

Agreed, I just purchased the Tomenosuke blaster from Hollywood collectables and noticed the rear barrel block style.

[@inkno701]

Those fake guns are in nicer cases then my real guns. But I love seeing Adam's excitement, and can see him buying some of them if they come up for sale. I hope there are more Blade Runner BTS videos with him.

[@catfish552]

They're probably worth more than your guns too.

[@shallabim912]

Vegaspsycho It's good that you're not scared to admit you have guns. You can't say anything these days without having people freak out.

[@inkno701]

for sure worth more then mine. I've used this user name in lots of things for many many years and picked it to be somewhat intimidating in video games. Not afraid to admit I have guns because I'm a law abiding citizen and have done nothing wrong. And if I were to change my user name after the recent events then they win. And we don't have a gun problem but a mental health problem disguised as a gun problem.

[@coinopworkshop204]

Thatguy WhoDoesThings I don't understand people with your mindset. You think just because that's how you feel about things that's how they should be. Well, they're not. A lot of people find value and security by owning guns. Do you realize how many guns are out there in existence? Millions just in the USA. Do those millions of guns all murder innocent people? What's the percentage, like .001% of the total amount of guns are used in mass shootings? Where is the logic in banning all guns when that small of a percentage is used for what we are trying to prevent? What about alcohol? Alcohol kills far more people per year than guns. What about heart disease? Shall we ban cakes and pies? What about diabetes? Ban sugar, way more people die from diabetes than guns. That's not just "mass shootings", that's all gun deaths combined. Here's a list of Americas top 10 reasons for death. Where are guns on that list? Where are the laws for diabetes control? Stroke control? Lets make suicide illegal, that'll stop 'em. Oh wait, it already is... Heart disease. Cancer (malignant neoplasms) Chronic lower respiratory disease. Accidents (unintentional injuries) Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases) Alzheimer's disease. Diabetes. Influenza and pneumonia. Kidney disease. Suicide.

[@coinopworkshop204]

No need to apologize, We all want that. No one WANTS mass murder or even gun violence at all. My point was just because they exist doesn't mean more ridiculous laws are going to stop them. We already have tons of gun laws, look at Chicago for instance. Gun violence is way up and they have some of the toughest gun laws of any state/city. Granted not as tough as say California as a whole or San Francisco but still. How has it helped? What is the answer? Who knows? I do know that the right to protect yourself is an inalienable right and our constitution states we have the right to bear arms so that is something that is ingrained in American culture. The truth is, mass shootings or any type of shootings suck and no sane person WANTS them to occur. But, could you imagine the carnage that would happen if we took the guns out of law abiding citizens hands? Trust me, when the criminals have no reason to fear a fair fight, they will take full advantage of that fact.

[@trentmckenzie1697]

You'r passion and enthusiasm has led me to get my wife to watch Blade Runner tonight. . . even though I know it will mean hours of discussion and I have had a long day at work. This also has inspired me to start making myself. Not necessarily this video but your whole process that I have seen on the Blade Runner gun you made many times. Thank you for getting excited. It truly is infectious.

[@ben87graves]

Id love to own either one of these guns. The old school Bladerunner gun is badass but the updated version is brutally awesome!

[@NenuxTitanRsr]

even though they are fake guns its still unsettling watching adam look down the bore of the gun.

[@ooloncolluphid7904]

+Jake Metti Right? I think that's a sign of someone who knows guns. I also cringe when I watch magicians like Penn & Teller peer down theirs, but they _have_ to!

[@michaelblacktree]

I cringed when Adam pointed the gun straight at Doug, then started fiddling with it while it was still pointed at Doug.

[@MrSurrealKarma]

They're not real. They simply can't fire. It's like when you look down the barrel in a real gun to see if there's dirt or something in it. Make sure it's unloaded and it's alright.

[@JC-ln6on]

ZeD Does cause cringes at first, regardless. If anyone’s had JUST real world and real fire experience with firearms, the wanton waving around and staring down barrels is a bit off putting. But then you realize that these guys are pretty much always dealing with non-fire props in this setting(and know it), and it makes one realize that that’s a different world from ranges and real fire events. Never hurts to have those instincts, though. Always treating a firearm as if it’s loaded(and functional) is, generally, a good way to be.

[@scottmantooth8785]

agreed...

[@co.agmusic]

Can the maker repair what he makes?

[@COOPSTOP]

CO.AG Music most likely

[@CRISNCHIPS12398]

What seems to be the problem?

[@ColinFox]

You don't recognize the quote from the movie? This is what Roy asked Tyrell when he met him.

[@joshpoe]

I get it. These other guys not so much.

[@hitachicordoba]

I'm still hungry. I want more Life cereal.

[@maxkordon]

Watching two people like that have a genuine conversation about their passion always warms my heart ❤️

[@forgotn42]

I love seeing Adam geek out like this. He's like a kid with his favorite toy.

[@glyph2011]

Omg! I was HOPING beyond hope there would be a vid on the new gun!! Thank you so much for this Adam!!! I loved the fact they used the original gun for research, that you visited a while back.

[@joestains8051]

As always, Adam brings 'The Power' to almost any situation that he finds himself in! Great Video!

[@neoqueto]

I love Adam, he's so genuinely passionate about his and other peoples' craft

[@crazelumberjack6251]

That red ducati in the back is so sick too.

[@mashiroikaze]

Okay, first (in the obscure chance Mr. Savage sees this comment), thank you for observing trigger discipline even knowing they are props. (Not a gun nut, just a gun safety nut). It's so gratifying seeing the youthful love of the series come out even while watching someone who is a prop professional. Adam is one of the people I'd love to meet, though I'm not sure if in meeting him I'd geek out or just get thoroughly shy...

[@RetroZoneNeon]

For someone who really, really hates guns, Adam Savage really, really loves guns

[@Lowgarr]

I love seeing Adam get so excited about stuff, he never hides his true feelings.

[@cdczmb8492]

Wasn't the old blaster a replica made by Tomenosuke? They also got the permission to use the "Blade Runner 2049" logo on the boxes of their latest batch. I can't understand why they are not addressing it and give Tomenosuke the proper recognition.

[@temporarymomentary]

That's a typical Hollywood bullshit. Adam knows that blaster is made by Tomenosuke. He owns​ one.

[@ShortwickCreations]

Adam, I loved the carry box that you did for your blaster. I've watched that video over and over again, I even used it as inspiration to build a carry case for a buddies equipment.

[@richjl73]

It is always great to see Adam Savage acting like a little kid! My own curiosity on the new blaster has now been satisfied...great job Adam.

[@nathantalisien4284]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Adam spent 99% of those "few extra minutes" getting lots of hi-res shots of the new blasters from every possible angle, to use as references when he makes his own. :P

[@thegreenmage6956]

I specifically noticed and recognised the new design of the Next Gen blaster, brutalist and functional in its look, being very much emulative of that hardened, somehow even more burnt-out world of the Blade Runner setting many years on from the original storyline timeframe.

[@NeonVars]

I'd buy a replica of that officer K blaster in a heartbeat if they sold an all metal version with moving parts and all.

[@AndreasZachariou]

You can't but be happy for Adam... So happy that you got to play with the guns!

[@jamesharris8110]

Adam and I are about the same age, so I'm with you brother....Always liked the original blaster and now I want the new one.

[@tattooeddragon]

Although very cool, I feel it pales in comparison to the original blaster. To me it looks too refined whereas the original gives off a "wild west" vibe that adds to the lawman mystique of the Blade Runner.

[@instigatingapostle]

I kinda feel thats what they were going for, their blaster design from 2019 has some vibe and feel to it where as 2049's design is more monochrome and dead like. Like futuristic indoctrination

[@x340x]

yeah, its not as "cyberpunk" to me, it feels just like any other sci-fi gun...shame, it could have been great. still kinda cool i guess tho

[@tomshore3788]

When I noticed the new blaster in the trailer I was definitely like Adam, just obsessively gazing over every frame I could to get a clear look at it. And then I saw it in a poster and felt it was meh. But getting a clear view of them in this video manages to showcase the beauty of the new design and how it nods to the original. Just amazing work, and I cant wait to see it in action in the new film!

[@LJTheDIYRookie]

Eagerly waiting to see Adam building his own replica of the new model... :)

[@logancaligagan9402]

Ugh it looks so damn satisfying to hold one of those magnificent works of craftsmanship.

[@Demondal]

Screaming fan boy is why your videos are so good. It's great to see your passion for all these props.

[@shawntucker790]

Adam knows that Blaster he’s holding is a Tomenosuke,

[@tommyboy6267]

And I thought I was the only one who geeked out over the Blade Runner Blaster. Love that gun. Thanks for the cool look at the old and new.

[@DaxHamel]

Adam, thanks for sharing the toys, the passion and your enthusiasm!

[@wolvves4293]

I love how they added that pistol to Fallout New Vegas.

[@Hayatory]

Original film has always been my favourite, going to see number 2 today !

[@adamvykouk3469]

What a beautiful voice Doug has! A symphony for ears

[@thebonecone]

What I always wanted to know was: what's the second trigger for? Looks like what you might see on a double barrel shotgun, but the blaster is a single barreled pistol/revolver. Interesting.

[@_whacky]

1st one for revolver 2nd for the rifle up top (thats what i get from it)

[@WeasleFireable]

Just has to flip the front brim down and the rear one up.

[@donlee_ohhh]

Despite neither of the guns being capable of firing 7:40 Adam keeps his fingers off the trigger, lol. Well trained on real weapons :D. Thanks for sharing this with us I've been eagerly waiting videos on the new movie from you for a while.

[@masteredi9220]

So awesome!!!... saw the movie last night, it was so beautifully shot and made, I got to go see it again! Keep on Geeking out Adam! And make one for us!

[@3DSage]

A real work of artistry.

[@MatthewNash]

My eye kept drifting to the scotch bottles in the background. My favourite props from the original Blade Runner were the bone shaped Black Label bottle and Deckard's drinking tumblers (so much so that I imported a set of them for myself).

[@mikec.3818]

Two legends one-room . Great episode!

[@Ben_Fett]

Damn I love the new gun. Such a fantastic design that fits so well with the original.

[@ryanduvall4027]

Im so inspired by these master craftsman. makes me wanna go out to the shop right now

[@BladeRunnerBear]

I would be just as excited Adam. Unfortunately, i can not afford to buy a replica due to becoming disabled an no longer being able to work. Therefore I vicariously share your excitement when I watch you handling Blade Runner blaster's, as I have loved that prop too, for 41 years. So thank you 🙏

[@Markevans36301]

I love to see someone as acomplished as Adam get all giddy over something.

[@saladbowl85]

Im so happy for you adam that you got to do that.

[@cameronalexander359]

The background music in the outro was a nice touch

[@masterSageHarpuia]

Adam, I don't know how you choose what things you look at, but if it is possible, can you look at the props used in the Stargate series?

[@tristragyopsie5464]

due to design similarities between the old and new gun. they could use a high-speed camera to catch the muzzle flash from the old gun against a green screen and use that as the base for their new gun's blast. A bit of a mix of practicle and computer effects.

[@donlee_ohhh]

I am amazed there haven't been more videos from Adam with the new movie coming out.

[@punksurfer76]

bring on the one day build Adam! cant wait, just dont leave it as long as the ZF-1

[@XOIIOXOIIO]

I was hoping they would give him one, his reaction would have been awesome.

[@lasarith2]

1) when making gun props for movies -always make a spare one for Adam 😉 2) I’d love to see them paint the rubber gun with the metallic paints 🙂

[@morisato54]

[@petroscephas]

Great geeking out video Adam. 3:03 love the Ducati in the back. :D

[@jackhime5628]

Adam I'm a fan of both Blade Runner films and seeing the guns from the new film and remaking the decker gun that's cool

[@picklesmakes9104]

I can’t wait to see Adam make the new blaster!

[@mudddober]

After camera cuts Adam pulls out camera and 1,000 pictures later. " Okay i am good to go now. Must make new blaster" lol Too good . Thanks for sharing tested

[@the_arcanum]

I would love to see Adam try to build one of the new guns because of the electro-magnet trigger shown here... I haven't seen one built at that scale one the Net yet.

[@temporarymomentary]

Why property master didn't mention that they use Tomenosuke Blasters in that movie ? They bought 6 blasters from Tomenosuke for a reason. 1:42 That is Tomenosuke replica !

[@TheMrAwax]

Is the process still the same? Salvaging existing elements like a real gun as the base and mixing them with original elements Or has CNC/3D printing turned prop making such as those into a pure creation process? (Except weathering)

[@ackthbbft]

I saw a great 3d printing model for the original blaster with moving parts. Definitely on my list of things to print!

[@davidblanck4131]

I hope Adam took a few measuring devices and possibly a 3d scanner with him for that. So awesome!

[@gremlin930]

i love how excited he is, true passion!

[@planegaper]

That nice Trellis frame Ducati, with the Termi's tucked under the tank is no Replica, looks like a 748 sps, amazing track weapon..
