Film Sensei: Proptastic - Prop Guns

hey cool thanks!

Good start. Don't forget- with most of those gas blowbacks, you can either hold down the slide release with your thumb or jam the magazine spring so the slide won't lock back every shot. That way you don't have to shoot airsoft bbs on set.

For what it's worth, I run a prop weapons rental business- Fight Designer, LLC, as well as a prop weapons rental forum connected to that. Happy to talk shop with all who are interested!

Nice job !!

Would love to have seen some CU's of the guns you have or maybe even a link to the models.

Warpony76: I checked out your vids, you have a crazy amount of stuff in your collection. It looked like you have some of the Bell versions of the HFC Beretta. How do you like those? They work fine for films, but I've had the fire select switch break off on 2 different ones I have.

The WE 1911 is super sweet.

Hi I liked that you use airsoft gun in you'r movies.I have a AIRSOFT Armory of my own you should see my vid's and that 1911 we tec is awesome 5 star's

There is also a Bell knock-off of the HFC M190, which is pretty solid but some of the components aren't quite as good. I had the fire select switch break-off during a shoot. The HFC model kicks ass, tho, and I most definitely want to get the threaded barrel to add on a silencer. Great film prop for sure. Thanks for the comment!

Nice vid! Yeah the second pistol you showed was the HFC M190 full auto version, i own that pistol and i absolutely love it. And what is great about it is that the barrel is exchangeable for one with a threaded end which you can attach a mock silencer to.
