Ghost In The Shell Hanka Pistol

Overview of Batou's SMG

At Duplex Designs we do love a great sci-fi weapon. Although our favourite has got to be Deckard’s blaster from the movie Blade Runner the weapons seen in the live action movie Ghost in The Shell really stood out as well.
The Hanka mercenaries use this pistol with and without the extending stock.
With the stock fitted there is also an extra muzzle break device fitted to the front of the pistol.

This model is multi-part but does not contain any moving parts except for the functioning extending stock.

A number of these prop pistols were sold at auction by PropStore in 2018. The lots included complete pistols with and without the extending stock.
OK, we are a little late to the party with this model as the movie came out in 2017, but we believe the weapon is interesting enough to warrant its creation here in 2026.

Why We Created This Model

We have not seen another model of this weapon.
There is conflicting information on what weapon this was based on. There could be a VP70 inside although the slide looks decidedly Glock like.
We do like multi-part prints as this enables subtle painting finishes to be applied to each part which adds to the realism.

Project Skill Level Required

You will need a low to medium level of skill in 3D printing and modelling to do justice to this model.
Part tolerances are quite tight so depending on what you create the parts with you may need to do some sanding and finishing to get parts to fit.
For example, FDM printing at 0.08mm layer height using a 0.4mm nozzle is good enough for a great fit for the assembly but as soon as you start to use resin parts the differences in resin shrinkage and tolerance will start to show.

NOTE: Although the model contains lots of detailed parts it should not be expected that final build will perform all the mechanical actions expected of the real weapon.
Please consider this a static model. Yes, you can move the trigger and the bolt handle does retract the bolt but other than that this is really a display piece.

The model also requires some hardware bolts and optional springs.
