Only 30£ for the prop gun :D I just needed to know whether I should make some changes to it, i.e. orange tap to mark the point or something. I guess I'll bring it along to be on the safe side. Better have and not need, than need and not have. :) But thanks for the quick response!

You're welcome. Please note though that this is NOT a final "yes" or "no", as I've never seen such a weapon. But if you could send me a picture I could give you a final one. :3

SouthPaw:

Given Berlin's status as the capital, I'd assume that similar guidelines would apply as for RBW2010 when it comes to "displaying" such weaponary, namely: [*]Keep them solely within the convention space (which would not include the Atrium) and go directly to/from your room with them
[*]No taking (or firing) them into the Art Show/Dealer's Den
[*]DON'T TAKE THEM OUTSIDE THE HOTEL![/list]

Seriously...Causing a security alert and finding yourself looking at the business end of an MP5 would NOT be pleasant!

Dear fellow Airsoft players: please assume that SouthPaw means the business end of an /actual/ mp5.
The product of which dispensed far less fun than plastic 6mm biodegradable bb's. ;)

It also is a good idea to take into account that a lot of people may not feel comfortable with having a toy gun pointed at them, and I can only imagine the more realistic it looks, the scarier it gets.

--- Quote ---Bei der waffenrechtlichen Behandlung von Softairwaffen ist zwischen Regeln für Anscheinswaffen, für die Geschossenergie sowie für Vollautomaten zu unterscheiden.
Regelungen über Anscheinswaffen

Meist sind Airsoftwaffen Nachbildungen von echten Schusswaffen und, ebenso wie Modellwaffen, kaum von diesen zu unterscheiden. Sie unterliegen deshalb als Anscheinswaffen besonderen Bestimmungen im deutschen Waffenrecht: Sie dürfen nicht in der Öffentlichkeit geführt werden.[1]

Wer entgegen dem Verbot eine Anscheinswaffe führt, begeht eine Ordnungswidrigkeit.[2] Ein Transport von Anscheinswaffen, zum Beispiel vom Händler zur eigenen Wohnung oder von der eigenen Wohnung zur Schießstätte, ist nur in einem „verschlossenen Behältnis“ erlaubt.[3]

A gun that is clearly noticeable, even from distance, made as a toy is no problem. But even an unloaded softair gun is forbidden to carry in public, except in a locked container/box.

KyuubiSaoirse:

I'll put a pic here as soon as my order's done, which will be in the Spring. It can't be shot with the way it'll be made, since it's formed of oam and then with the latex covering. And as I mentioned before; I won't be taking it outside, I will only be using it for photos once in a while. Even if it might look realistic up close, which LARP weapons tend to do, then with just the slightest light it will give off a shine clearly marking it as latex... Well, if you know the difference between metal and latex shininess, either way. But I'll put up the picture. And if it's too realistic or something, still, then I could put bright orange tape across the tip... Then it should be very obvious that it can't shoot. But well, I'll get around to it eventually.Going to use it for some LARP even if it should be turned down here.
