You actually bring up a good point. I brought up these points in a long paragraph that Fandom deleted for some reason.

Yeah, the Captain Cassian Andor Deluxe Blaster does have external features directly copied off of an M4, but we wouldn't need to put that in the trivia. Besides, we've already mentioned that it was based on the A280FE, which used an AR upper/lower mocked up as a prob blaster for the films.

In hindsight, it was not a very important detail to mention these, but I thought it was interesting that this blaster actually is somewhat modelled off of a P90's carrying handle and faux mag release.

Still no idea why they did that.
