Part x1741 or the Rifle is a lego piece that has appeared in numerous lego sets, used to represent a weapon from the Star Wars movies. This piece is made to be held in the hand of a minifigure, thus it has been released only with Star Wars minifigures. This piece, along with Part x1740 are used in present Star Wars sets to represent minifigure guns.

[edit] Sets

Part x1741 was first released in the set 7655 Clone Troopers Battle Pack in 2007 under the Star Wars Revenge of the Sith line. Finally, the Lego company decided that they wanted a more realistic gun to be released with minifgures, rather than the signature Minifigure Black Loudhailer or Part 4349 that acted as the Star Wars blaster. In the set, Part x1741 was connected to a stand, making it resemble a mounted blaster. Two were released in the set 7659 Imperial Landing Craft and another two were released in the set 7662 Trade Federation MTT in the same year.

In 2008 and 2009, this part along with part x1740 were becoming essential to Star Wars sets that included minifigures that required guns.

In 2008, five were included in the set 10188 Death Star, two in the set 7668 Rebel Scout Speeder, two in the set 7675 AT-TE Walker, two in the set 7671 AT-AP Walker, and two in the set 7672 Rogue Shadow in 2008. The Riffle also made it's first but only appearance in a non-Star Wars set, which was 8634 Mission 5: Turbocar Chase in the Agents Theme. Three Part x1741s were included in the set.

In 2009, three were released in the set 8038 The Battle of Endor, two in the set 8039 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser, two in the set 10195 Republic Dropship with AT-OT Walker, and one in the sets 8018 Armored Assault Tank (AAT), 8015 Assassin Droids Battle Pack and 7749 Echo Base.
