action props

Post by Fewof_lamb »

hey

My friends and i are planning an action movie but due to Australia's Gun Laws, it is iilegal to sell realistic looking guns such as cap guns. all the one i see are to fake looking. I have the AK-47 off this site but what i would really like would be double pistols. any kind would do as long as they look good.

Does anyone have or know off a tutorial like the AK one here? It would be really handy.

If you get those cap guns that have the red-stoppers at the end of the barrel, simply drill them out, or paint them black - then you got something that's a touch more authentic!

Don't forget mail-order! I'm sure you can order stuff over the internet, and "wot people don't know don't hurt them!"

It's so refreshing to see two fellow filmmakers from this forum actually getting together to do something. Most of us live so far apart from eachother.
