Yes and yes. Sorry, I'm a little chaotic sometimes, especially when I get upset. To be precise, a hobby group I belong to is doing a photoshoot, and I'm pretty much their armorer - sure, some folks can bring an airsoft gun or two because they happen to own one for an occasional game, but I own a lot of the stuff.

Good quality airsoft guns make great props, mostly because it's hard to tell them from the real deal. Unless someone sleeps on the job (I saw a couple of cases, mostly in the local TV) or camera catches something incriminating (like hi-cap magazine winding wheels, gas fill valves or odd trademarks), that is.

If you're doing a photoshoot, and you need something futuristic, cyberpunk and a little different looking, you might want to check into some modified Nerf guns. Something like this:



I was tasked just last week with planting a revolver into a Nerf Rayven so it can live fire on set. Should be an interesting project.
