Hi community. This Halloween at the club, I want to dress up as Tommy Vercetti from the Vice City. I already have the funky shirt, all the right color clothing elements. But what about a gun. I have been at 80's parties before dressing as, but obviously I didnt took a gun prop with me, cause those were normal old school parties. But for Halloween, a complete cosplay would be more suitable. Still, my dilemma is the handgun (and or machine gun or uzi), what should I do with that. The thing is, at this day and age, everyone is afraid of a looney person doing a massacre. I am writing from Europe, gun sights are rare, but the fear is in everyone's mind, especially since 2015. I looked into options: Gun silhouette cutout. Safe choice, easy to spot its fairness from 2-3 meters, looks lame. Nerf. Looks crazy, crazy colors. Paint it dark gray? Now it might look like a real gun. Or rather a crazy space gun. Inflatable gun - looks bulky enough to be an obvious fake 3D printed prop, but intentionally low poly look, texture surface - I am afraid even then it might scare a few people in the dark. Further options: A mini gun, rocket launcher. Looks epic, but tiering to carry. Knife or baton - Even though these are options in the game, not so specific look Shotgun - not my thing An idea that I really like: inflatable baseball bat. Big, but super light. Nice to swing it, no hit danger. No one has a terrorism scare by looking at a baseball bat shape. A baseball bat is a really classic mobster symbol, matches well with the tone. Those who went to a cosplay party, and was considering guns or machine guns, which way did you choose? What is your takeaway?   submitted by   /u/Rendszer_valltaska [link]   [comments]
