spray them flat black and match the rest of the gun. usually the 1/2" or so isn't seen on camera.

i hate those safety bands.

you can't really take them off, they're part of the gun...its a law i think or something.

yeah, just spray paint them...

I'd be careful using guns with the orange thing painted, cause the cops will get you in trouble if they caatch them painted.

I used to have some that you could very easily take off by simply pulling on them for a while.(I don't think they still make those though)

I know one thing for sure...

I would never use a gun that was made in China! It'd blow up in my hands!

I love that gun! The orange thing is easy to pop off. Once, between shoots on my latest movie, I was dinking around with it and it just fell of!

Were can I get a gun like that?
I've looked at wal-mart but there is none.
And I prefer cap guns

anything is better then my gun. ITS 0.1 mm thickness of plastic I CAN MAKE A HOLE IN IT with my broken pinky toe.

Yeah, I knew that... but when I saw the "Made in China" thing on it, it got me thinking.

Prism are you saying that, that gun was made by an chinese slave in a sweat shop!?
No, Matt.....take a closer look.......no thats too close....back up.,...its to scale...believe me. I bought that at a loonie store for 2 bucks.......wtf....As for the front stab the part where the bullet would come out (if it was a real gun)....with a pen....and do a better spray job than what i did......lol......aw well.....it was just something simple......glad u liked the gun Filmguy15

Hehe I found the best toy cap gun at walmart. it was shortly after lil S's gun painting posts. It has a big orange part that pulls back like the real gund, i painted it with grey model paint. It also came with a clip that loads and a silencer it's great.
