Stud Shooter

A Stud Shooter or Stud Launcher is a LEGO piece modeled like a large ray gun and is included in sets with any conflict, battle or important vehicle as its theme. The name "Stud Shooter" refers to the fact that the gun can be "loaded" with a stud (Part 6141 or Part 30057) and then fired by pressing down on a panel at the top, launching the stud.
==Background==
The stud shooter was first introduced in 2014 in LEGO Star Wars sets where it replaced Parts 58247 and 57899 as the main LEGO piece used to represent blasters. Part 58247 and Part 57899 are still currently used in sets, But the stud shooters are often used in Star wars battle backs.
==Notes==
*The stud shooter often gets negative attention due to the fact it is easy to lose the stud within the blaster.
*The stud shooter was later replaced by Part 69767 in late 2021 or the beginning of 2022.
