Try Toys R Us, or basically, any toy store that sells squirt guns, and spray paint them black, thats the cheapest, most easyest way I know were to find them.

Yeah, you can find a tommy gun lots of places... toy stores, party supply stores, costume stores, etc. But they will look really fake and crappy, so some painting and modification will be in order. Just be creative and it should look fine, and depending on how it comes out, just try not to have a really close shot of the gun and no one will be able to tell.

I found this website just a little bit ago if it will help anyone other than me.

It has very realistic weapons with no work needed.

I assume your making some kind of Al Capone Prohibition Era Gangster flick? If so, stock up on cheap suits and snub-nosed revolvers

I typed in snub-nosed revolvers on google and all I found was expensive ones do you know of any sites with snub-nosed revolvers in the 20 dollar range? And I just realized I need two shoulder holsters of that same style.

If you're making a Prohibition-era movie, assume that nothing you buy (except the .45s) will be cheap. Having a job would definitely help you out, but the stuff you're asking for really doesn't exist for that cheap. In any case, here's some sites that may help you out.

www.modelguns.co.uk

www.redwolfairsoft.com

www.shortyusa.com

www.airsplat.com

www.repliguns.us

Like I said, don't expect any of the props you need to be cheap.

15$ Tommy gun

With a little paint, could be an awesome prop.

Every time I go into a dollar store all they have are snub nosed revolvers. That would probably be your best bet for the handguns.

you would think that it would follow the rule
cheap real guns = cheap fake guns
but this is not the case, as I can't remember a single good place from prop snub-noses

Wal-Mart always sold nice snub-noses. they were the right scale...ect. You could check there. other than that, nothings cheap, especially a realistic tommy gun.

The tommy gun I can afford, but I can't afford the other 250 dollars for the ten snud- noses. Oh and just so you know I have never shoped at Wal-Mart and probably never will.

20 dollar 1911s are awsome. i have one and it looks so real. the one problem is you dont have the blowback...so it wont be as realistic once you because the slide isnt movine. but they are a sweet looking cheap prop

Guns? You can find tons of replicas of what you need in airsoft or blank fireing even. Just depends where you look. Hell, if you wanted to, you could even take a basic blank or airsoft gun, take it apart, and build a new model around it.
