| Small
ornamental flintlock pistol with blued steel,
as might be used by a gentleman or gentle lady for
concealment. This one is made by a German company,
has moving parts but does not fire. A good UK source
for these type of weapons might be Battle Orders
in East Sussex. This is an eighteenth century design
which was superceded by the percussion lock pistol. |
|
| Derringer
blank firing pistol of Italian manufacture. These
are pretty unreliable but worth a try. Explosion
is re-directed out the top of the chamber. Takes
22 blanks. The Derringer first appeared around the
1870's and is still in use. |
|
| Colt
45 blank firing pistol again made by Bruni of
Italy. This is a fairly reliable blank firer. the
explosion is re-directed from the top and slightly
to the left. It takes 8mm blanks. This sort of
pattern was out as early as 1908... |
|
| Enfield
SMLE .303 bolt action deactivated rifle. This
de-ac has moving parts. The pattern was around as
early as 1902, used by the British during the 1st
world war and only went out of service in the Indian
army very recently. |
|
| |
| MP40
Schmeisser (Fully automatic 9mm weapon) was
the main machine pistol of the German Army throughout
WW2. The pattern was around in a similar form as
early as 1938. The top one is a de-ac with no moving
parts. Note the carrying strap is fixed on the right
hand side and slips under the barrel when slung
over the right shoulder. This can be confusing,
but it's just the way it is. The middle one
is an old mgc blank firer, the bottom an all plastic
Marushin blank firer. |

| Thompson
deactivated. WW2 dated US smg. I've sold this
on now but it was a nice weapon. |
|
| Bren
gun. The Bren is a .303 light machine gun, but
don't let the "light" full you... it weighs an absolute
ton. If you're using one try and get a strap. This
one is a de-ac with moving parts. If you want to
see one in action look up Lock Stock And Two Smoking
Barrels for a small idea of it's potential. This
is serious hardware best kept on the battlefield.
British weapon around since about 1932 but not in
great numbers until 1938. Still in use by some countries
today. |
|
| |
| AK
47 BLANK FIRER. DON'T OWN THIS ONE BUT IT'S
SEEN SO OFTEN IN FILM AND IN REALITY THAT I FELT
I SHOULD SHOW IT. ITS A RUSSIAN MADE ASSAULT RIFLE. |
|
| Walther
P38 8mm blank firer. Explosion redirected from
the top. Designed to replace the German Lugar in
1938. This again, is an Italian blank firer. Not
the most reliable. Still in use today by various
Bond villains etc. |
|
| Two
variations of Mr. Bond's famous Walther PPK.
Designed by the Germans in WW2 this little beauty
made it on to the battle field and is still in use
today by the Italian police, among others. The top
model is a chromed Italian 8mm blank firer with
little reliability. The black one is a German 8mm
blank firer and is very reliable. The explosion
again is re-directed through the top of the barrel. |
|
| Two
small 22 blank firing revolvers. Pattern
similar to those that have been around since the
twenties. These take 22 long and short blanks. Good
reliable and cheap weapon. Explosion comes out of
both sides o the weapon. |
|
| .357
Magnum Python. These take the 9mm blanks and
are made in Italy. They came into service in the
50's and are still around today. It's worth mentioning
holsters at this point. If you can, get one that
fits your weapon exactly. ASK the hire company if
they have any, most will not and try to give you
a holster that doesn't quite fit. Shown here is
a Safariland concealment holster in moulded leather.
The .357 is still popular amongst US police forces.
It's long version was made famous by Dirty Harry.
Explosion comes out both sides of the weapon. |
|
| Two
plastic automatic pistols. A Sig Sauer and
a Beretta. You don't have to pay an arm and
a leg for weapons. The top one is a water pistol
retailing at £2.00 and the bottom one an air (hop-up)
pistol, retailing at about £22.99. Quite frankly
they look the part. |
|
| Small
.22 starter pistol blank firer. Ideal reliable
weapon for offstage cover. Takes .22 short
blanks only. Explosion re-directed through top of
barrel. |
|
| L85-A1
SA-80. Main light armament of the British
forces. This one is a hop-up. I believe that these
have been about since the 1980's. The sling shown
here is tactical. A clip lengthens it from a high
to low ride. |
|
| H&K
MP-5. Mainstay of the special forces. This one
is a hop-up air weapon, virtually identical to the
original. On COMPLICITY I used both real and the
fake MP-5. The only difference was the weight. The
pattern first appeared in the 1970's, I believe,
and is still in use today. Sarah Hunter here is
seen wearing a tactical harness for the MP-5. |
|
| Beretta
blank firing pistol. Shown here with the slide back,
the clip out and beside a concealment holster. A
good automatic like this one should end in this
position once all the shots have been fired. Similar
weapons have been in use since 1934. Explosion from
the top and slightly to the right. |
|
| Glock
19 prop gun in cast resin/ plastic. Pictured
here in an NYPD duty belt rig, in a security holster
and again next to the dollar to show size. The holster
fits the weapon EXACTLY. This weapon was made by
PROPGUNS. I'll try and get more info on this company
and add it to the links page. No moving parts. Ultra
modern weapon, around since the 90's. |
