Where Can I Get Weapons?

[Ph1l2007]

Ok, so now that I learned that Star Fortress Productions is a no no, where do you all get your weapon props? I am particularly interested in the heavy blasters / rifles, but of course I'm going to need the good old E 11 as well. I know some of you all actually make your own, or even mod toy blasters to look realistic, but I would prefer something I can buy ready-to-use, because between school and work full time I have little spare time to make my own I really appreciate all the help guys, Im getting more knowledgeable about this costuming thing every day thanks to you all

That's just one place. There are a few other makers - you can check out the blaster forums and even the for sale areas for ideas.

Lots of different sources depending on budget and purpose..

 

But I agree Hyperfirm E-11 from Sci-Fire all the way... They great are guys and great products!

 

Good luck

Ive seen a Hyperfirm MG-32 and I was totally impressed with the quality. And I have seen hyperfirm E-11's that looked like poop. Im a firm believer in building your own, but MakerofThings produces a quality resin cast kit for a great price. Stomper makes an awesome E-11 as well.

there is an full metal airsoft MG 34 that runs for $700 and a rare airsoft sterling that you might have trouble hunting down

 

rsov.com for the mg 34

 

classicairsoft.net might help you find the airsoft sterling

Any idea how much they weigh? I'll agree with Smitty - some HF products are really tight. The MG-34 is perhaps the best on the market IMHO. I used to think my E-11 was the shiz, but that was a few years ago. There are more detailed looking products now that are comparable in durability, which normally is a very sore point for resin weapons.

 

The Cushman Lewis gun can be pimped to look really good too and weighs just a few pounds - perfect for parades or an event where you're worried about your beautiful HF or Woodchuck getting damaged/stolen.

 

I dare say there are more options now then ever.

I agree - the more choices the better.. IMO the HF E-11 is great in every way.. Durability, weight and looks.. Off course you need to weather it to look accurate... I used to have a hasbro converted and the HF E-11 is a major improvement.. I would hate to destroy a resin on a troop.. I now have the E-11, MG-34 and scout blaster and they are all from Sci-Fire and awesome... Again that's my opinion
