Your best bet to buy anything would be to check etsy. A lot of the prop makers on this forum have shops. You could also post in the marketplace that you are looking to buy.

ok but how much are they? i have a tight budget.

i need help with undersuits. what do you guys use? also how can you make a normal visor reflective on one side but see through on the other?

 

[eiros]

most use under armor that you can pick up at wal mart or sporting good stores. i know most use car window tint

 

[locostorm]

thanks. ill be sure to add pics of me wearing what i have done soon.

Don't mean to burst your bubble but the world of costuming is costly. No matter how you are making your costume it all adds up pretty quickly. Especially if you are wanting to buy a pistol/rifle that is already completed.

Locostorm, have you considered simply making your own magnum? It's a fairly simple process, and there are plenty of threads here on the subject.. It's also probably less expensive than buying a pre-made one unless there are moving parts... and even then, modifying a NERF gun is a fairly simple process. Don't give up!

i am right now actually out of foam. when its done ill post a pic.

i am making a magnum right now. do you guys have any experience working with styrofoam? i need help, my first attempt is horrible.

 

[The BorosBoss]

Styrofoam, no. But EVA foam could work. Did you see FlyinPhil's?

 

[locostorm]

No I have not. I'll try that. Thanks for the tip.

 

[locostorm]

i looked at his stuff and i decided to make my own. ill put pics on soon.

You can make weapons our of foam as well as armor, you might need pvc to support longer weapons like the assault rifle. Also, confetti rifle or riot! lol
