This video from the Royal Armouries showcases iconic Star Wars blasters, specifically the standard-issue weapons for Rebel and Imperial troopers. These props are noted to be modified Sterling submachine guns, highlighting the blend of real-world firearms with science fiction design. The museum is actively collecting cinematic arms and armor, with these blasters being part of their 'Collecting Cultures' program, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
This video documents the "Big Bang Event" at Fort Nelson, marking a £3.5 million redevelopment. The event featured an "explosive start" with cannon fire and a Sexton "tank" firing the first shot to demolish modern buildings. Fort Nelson, a Victorian fort housing the national collection of artillery and cannon, is undergoing transformation thanks to National Heritage Lottery Fund support and other contributors. The improvements aim to enhance visitor experience by showcasing "big guns" and the fort's history, with new features including a glass entrance gallery, an education center, and an entrance bridge. Historically designed to deter Napoleon III, the fort is now set to welcome many visitors.
