"Solo’s blaster is essentially an antique Mauser pistol fitted with a scope and custom mount. The barrel is modified with a flash hider from a German M-81 machine gun."

That might be why.

Off the top of my head, I remember these:

Sterling, SMG, Lewis LMG, Mauser C96, MG34, Lee Enfield, and the princess used a Russian target pistol.
