Thanks for the tip, will look into it

Careful, not only could you end up getting shot for real if you're playing around with this in public, but it might be illegal to posess a toy gun in public that looks like a real gun.

why do you want it to look "real"

if you just wanna be a faggot & play airsoft, the original finish should be good enough for your faggotry.

you tryin to steal shit OP? you fucking criminal scum. you come at me with your airshit & ill shoot your face with my glock19. & i hope some one with a real gun shoots you in the spine, low life.

pic related, its OP

/k/ would like a word with you, and your outright faggotry. You make all gun owners look bad.

also 4/10, made me respond/rustled jimmies.

People will mistake it as a real gun in it's current state. The drybrush method works. They used in LoTR to make all of the armor look convincing and real.

BEcause where I live there are only knives and I want to be able to simply point it at them and walk away...
I'm not trying to steal shit just avoided to get stabbed...

>>281402
pointing an airsoft gun at someone with a knife is a pretty good way to get stabbed. If you live somewhere where guns are rare and you don't have the bravado to act like a stone-cold killer, anyone trying to mug or rape you will know its fake.

Looked further in some colours and found some with small metallic flakes in them to make the look beleiveble. You guys think this works?

>backpedels on "/k/ would like to have a word with you"

>obviously rustled

> I want to be able to simply point it at them and walk away...

you are a fucking idiot. you point a airsoft gun at somebody who has half a brain & theyll know its fake. & u probably live in the UK which means the odds of it being real are very very low.

>45ACP (most 1911s)
>tiny ass hole
>nope

now that simple mugging just turned into a brutal beatdown/stabbing. you could even die


get pepper spray retard

>>281402
That's not how it works. The only time you pull out a gun is when you're prepared to shoot someone. Gun owners get shot with their own guns when they hesitate to pull the trigger and get disarmed. If you wave it around at someone with a knife and they don't let you walk away, you're going to be in a lot of trouble.

But whatever, do what you want. Make sure you clear coat it after you spray it so the paint doesn't flake off in your pocket as easy.

>>281406
what this guy said. The best resolution on if you whip that out in public is the cops..or whatever you call them there..will be coming for you.
Worst case is you scare your offender for half a second until he realizes that your gun is fake, then proceeds to shove it up your ass and kills you.
most likely possibility is the above, but he doesn't kill you.
Get pepper spray, bear strength. You can get it mail order, it's not a lethal weapon....I imagine it's even less prosecutable than fists.

just please...stop being fucking afraid enough to do something retarded like bring a fake gun for fake personal protection in a real situation.

gtfo.

Fucking OP being a faggot. I don't know if .177 cal co2 handguns are legal there (the ones that shoot pellet / bb's), but that would be your best bet if you want to pull a gun on someone to deter / shoot them.

Most shoot ~450 - 550 fps so it's gunna pack quite a punch at short range providing you can hit them in the right spot with minimal lethality. For god sake don't aim for the face but something like the knees/hands, in which case a .22 co2 would be much better.

inb4b& for discussing weapons, I'm just trying to talk some sense into OP for his own sakes.

resorts to grammar nazi-ing

Aiming at someone's hands? You'd have to be a magical shot. Just shoot them in the face.

1) Airsoft to look 'real'
2) Carrying concealed weapon
3) Carrying concealed weapon in public outside of about 3 states in the USA and pretty much any other 1st world country is grounds for arrested. Yes even fake ones.

There are laws that state that 'fake' guns need to be excessively marked as such (the orange shit on the end). Because people believe it to be real is just as dangerous as it being real.

As previously stated, if you wave that shit around you might get away with it once or twice. Or you might end up getting stabbed anyways. Or sucker punched and then stabbed. Or any combination thereof.

So to recap:
1) Don't do it - cops will take you down for it.
2) Seriously don't do it - people you're trying to intimidate will figure it out
3) Really, really don't do it - combination of 1 & 2.

P.S. - if your worried about getting stabbed, how about you move somewhere were the prospect of getting stabbed is less? Or perhaps frequent the areas of stabbing less?

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead,talented /diy/er I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your little miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you could have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
