Jyn Erso uses an A-180 blaster, a modular BlasTech Industries design that she takes from Cassian Andor's gear in Rogue One (2016). In the film she uses it only as a pistol; its rifle and sniper configurations appear in games and toys rather than on screen.

A Modular Blaster
Wookieepedia describes the A-180 as a modular weapon: a front assembly and side-loading magazine turn it into a rifle, and a barrel extension with an extendable stock makes it a sniper. Those configurations come from Star Wars Battlefront (2015) and its expansions plus Vintage Collection and Black Series toys. In Rogue One itself, Jyn only uses the pistol form.
She also picks up a scavenged E-11 on Jedha during the film, but the A-180 is the blaster most associated with her.
The Prop Behind the Pistol
According to Wookieepedia, the core pistol prop was built on the frame of a German P-08 Luger, with concept art by Matthew Savage. That vintage base gives the A-180 its compact, slightly angled grip and short profile, which makes it one of the easier Star Wars sidearms to carry with a costume.
For displays, the A-180 suits a Rogue One shelf alongside a Rebel helmet or a Scarif-themed backdrop, and its small size makes it a good fit for a shadow box.
Building a Jyn Erso Kit
Jyn's Jedha and Scarif outfits are practical and layered: a scarf, a utility vest, cargo trousers, and a hip holster for the A-180. Because the pistol is compact, it suits cosplayers who want a lighter prop for a full day on the floor. For home display, a small angled stand next to a Rogue One poster or a Rebel helmet works well, and the short profile fits in shelving where long rifles cannot.
Owning a Replica
For a Jyn Erso costume, the A-180 pistol form is the screen-accurate choice and it is light enough to carry all day. The Jyn Erso A-180 blaster replica at Destiny Guns is a non-firing, fan-made display piece with no moving parts, built for cosplay kits, shelves, and wall mounts. For other options, browse the Star Wars blaster pistol and sidearm replicas, and keep any convention build within your event's prop rules.
