Making guns is somewhat difficult. For my war movie coming up, I have mostly bbguns for the background guns, but the main characters for example the captain, I constructed a Thompson out of wood, pbc pipe and so forth, jusst to give it a little authenticity feel.

Yeah, but our school made a Thompson submachine gun for "Anything Goes". So if they can make it, I'm sure you can...

Well, perhaps they bought it. But remember, we did see several pictures of it up in the shop. Maybe these were used for reference when they made it...

Who knows...

You can also try martial arts shops. They often sell rubber guns for disarming drills.
