Lego Star Wars minifigs have “loudhailers” (bullhorns) instead of proper weapons. Sure, those quasi-guns can be more easily adapted to any other purpose than a gun would, but Lego has plenty of other single-purpose pieces in their offerings. Lego has long tried to avoid making toys that are tightly focused on fighting and warfare, including vehicles and weaponry.
So it only makes sense that there is a cottage industry that has sprung up around filling this need. BrickArms.com produces modern weaponry, in case you want to run Counterstrike style battles with your minifigs. Little Armory does medieval weapons as well as nicely accurate replicas of popular science fiction weapons; but unfortunately appear to be sold out of... every little thing.
Which is a shame, really; wouldn’t it be nice to have your minifigs properly kitted out when you re-enact the Donnie and Marie Osmond Star Wars Musical?
