Don't walk around with it in the open UNTIL you get there. You may get prosecuted under the VCR bill otherwise (quite serious).

If it's a 'spacey' kinda weapon, you should be fine, but anything that looks like it's 'real' (i.e. a modern day firearm) you could upset the law...

Have fun at the expo :)

Exactly :)

I'm considering cosplaying next time... but what as? I'm thinking Agent 47 perhaps.

I picked up 1:1 scale M16s for about £15 in some souvenir/junk shop in Great Yarmouth a few years back

They come out pretty nice with a little paint. Off topic a lbit, but are Nerf guns any good?

For murder? Not really. It'll do the job eventually but you'll be there a long while.

OP, make a railway rifle

Surely looks unreal enough to not get you any trouble about it possibly being an actual gun, and fits the costume :)

Extra points if you can make it whistle!

I got my nephew a Nerf Havok for his birthday last year, a belt fed, battery powered fully automatic machine gun that spews forth a hail of foam darts, it's great fun shooti- Sorry, I mean my nephew loves it. :D

I might have to get one for Christmas! I mean, for my nephew, of course...
