Don’t get yourself killed over a costume.


PFxSCORPIO

Lol don't worry I'll take care.

America problems


N00b_sk11L

Ironically this might be an issue the least in America because people carry firearms


Big-Increase-4438

Nah, not at all, I'm telling you this in the most legit way possible Here in Spain, you could be carrying a fake gun in your hand, waving at people, pretend that you shoot, even without the orange tip you can still do that, and the police would not react at all, cause they'll legit think "No shot that's a real gun, no one has guns here, everything's fine" I would say that maybe don't do that in a strange setting/context like being a lone adult in a commercial spot, or things like that, but if you're accompanied by someone, or places like costume parties, they just do not care


StewTrue

That’s hard to imagine. Almost every adult I know has a gun or lives with someone who owns a gun.


SleightBulb

You're absolutely off your face if you think that would fly in Spain or anywhere else in Europe. I've helped organize convention appearances for costume performers and every country we've been to (England, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Norway all have extremely specific laws about brandishing realistic looking weapons in public, costume or no.


Trap-Daddy_Myers

"Here in America, brandishing a firearm is dangerous" "Well, here in Spain, it's a little different" I wonder why..


SpreadEmu127332

That sounds like a really odd thing to brag about. That nobody will care if you wave around a real looking gun.


LandonHarms

Happy Cake Day


CallMeHolo23

Legit, and the fact that you got downvoted to hell proves people refuse to accept it


Ashtray46

Yeah it's great, just the police/security are gonna take issue with it.


PFxSCORPIO

😂😂😂😂 Yeah no, I'll take care of that, will go to a safe environment


KingWeeWoo

That's not...I dont think you understand what he said. There's security at every convention usually


PFxSCORPIO

Ah! Oh yeah, understood! Sorry it's actually my first time trying to cosplay and attend conventions.


toddbeltz

And bringing what looks like a real gun is about the dumbest thing you can do. Going to a “safe” environment means nothing when someone thinks it’s real or worse, the cops shoot you first the moment they see this. Not worth getting shot over.


frankiedonkeybrainz

Don't most cons have rules about prop guns with cos play?


KingWeeWoo

Generally yes


ryazaki

yeah, at every con I've ever been to you have to go through a security checkpoint before you're allowed inside


lowbrowilluminati

What is this mythical safe environment you speak of?! Lol


FrndlyNebrhoodRdrMan

Texas...


lowbrowilluminati

Lmao!


Ashtray46

Okay, be careful homie


Odd_Cryptographer577

OP what country are you based in?


StonkMangr92

Good way to get shot by police. Especially if you’re in the USA


GreenWarrior04

Most misinformed comment I've seen all day lol


JacobMT05

Eh. Second amendment. People open carry all the time in the states. As long as they aren’t waving it around and being a dick they’ll be fine.


SolidDoctor

If OP is completing at a venue like a conference hall, they may refuse entry with firearms. Open carry doesn't mean you can carry anywhere you want without restrictions.


JacobMT05

It completely depends on the venue that is true, but quite a few do allow it. Especially if its a fake firearm like the one in the image. Which anyone who knows anything about guns can tell immediately.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JacobMT05

It won’t be the cops at the venue, it will be security. Who if you tell is a fake firearm, which are pretty common at many cosplay conventions specifically people dressing up as mtf and umbrella corps have them, will let you in.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SolidDoctor

Or any place that explicitly prohibits it. You have the right to carry a firearm, but people also have the right to prohibit firearms at their venue. A lot of times it comes down to insurance reasons.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SolidDoctor

This is reality, son. I live in an open/conceal carry state with no permits needed. You can walk down the street with an AR15 but if you want to walk into a private business, you can be refused.


Extreme-Magazine7022

open carry is only allowed in a very select few states


JacobMT05

Very select my arse https://www.datapandas.org/ranking/open-carry-states Its allowed in the majority of states. 5 don’t allow it, 4 only with a permit.


Rockguy21

Literally like 29 states allow permitless concealed carry and like 40 states have permitless open carry, it’s really only a small number of states (California, New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts mostly) that restrict open carry


PANZCAKEZZZ

lmao you won’t get shot


StonkMangr92

You’re clearly not familiar with American police.


PANZCAKEZZZ

You clearly don’t go outside, if you’re wearing a full ghost cosplay with a gun, you will not be shot.


MFViktorVaughn_

Yeah, its even written into law /s lmao. You can't actually think a costume will save you from getting shot when you're holding a realistic looking gun. There's a reason they come with orange tips now.


PANZCAKEZZZ

Yall are so delusional, yes they come with orange tips so you’ll know it’s fake, but if you’re in FULL COSPLAY, the police will not straight up shoot you, yall mfs are acting like every cop is waiting for a reason to shoot someone.


Crazy_Brandon99

You’re the delusional one here


PANZCAKEZZZ

I actually think I might be, idk why I thought arguing with terminally online Redditors on the call of duty subreddit wouldn’t be a waste of my time lol, they even pay for those Reddit NFTs


Dracofear

Idk what you seeing, but yeah, IF it had an orange tip. But it doesn't. So yes, you will be risking your life using this as a prop.


StonkMangr92

No need to attack me stranger. Cops don’t give a fuck if you’re cosplaying, most of them don’t even know what that is. If they see a gun with no red tip they will most definitely intervene. The dumber cops may even pull their guns and demand you “drop your weapon!”


ValerianKeyblade

In full cosplay... of a guy kitted up with military gear wearing a balaclava? Bit different to wearing full cosplay of fucking Sailor Moon


Thrash_Panda44

Remember that one time cops got called over a cardboard cutout of ghost? You say no ones gonna get cops on their ass over a cosplay when something dumber has already happened. Cosplayers get cops called on them all the time, just go on youtube and youll likely find hundreds of examples. And Sometimes they do get shot. Dont be that complacent fuckin idiot that assumes itll never happen to you.


pr0-found

>Remember that one time cops got called over a cardboard cutout of ghost? I thought you were making this shit up. Fucking hell it really happened lmao. https://www.polygon.com/2013/5/31/4383220/robert-bowlings-robotoki-invaded-by-lapd-after-curious-designer


Thrash_Panda44

It was like obviously fake too. Just standing there, not moving *at all* at anypoint whatsoever over the course of a long period of time. Not shooting, not responding to commands, not moving at all. So dumb


PANZCAKEZZZ

Yall can’t be serious…


ntgco

Do NOT take firearms into Cosplay events. You will be ejected and/or arrested and/or shot.


callsign_pirate

I’ve cosplayed in western wear and used replica revolvers. A lot of conventions have weapon/gear checks to make sure things aren’t too dangerous. They will check the prop and either issue you some sort of lock via zipties or similar or mark it as a prop. At the end of the day a person should know the rules of something they’re attending and you’re being safe which is good but it’s not accurate.


Purpletylernol

This is clearly a fake firearm and people bring airsoft guns all the time. (Arguably more real looking) just have that orange tip or some sort of large identifying piece that says “I am fake gun” I will agree it’s better to steer away but people do this quite often as props.


miojo

“Clearly”


DrAuntJemima

Have you never seen a Glock? The on OP has is oversized as hell. An orange tip though is still a good idea just for reassurance:


miojo

Yea of course, I’ve seen and shot one. From a distance, this is a real gun.


shmid9804

It is pretty clearly fake, doesn't have a safety trigger and looks more like toy plastic than polymer. But from a distance I'm sure it could be seen as real.


KomaliFeathers

Ummm… not really. That looks like a real Glock, especially if it’s in a holster, where you can’t see the trigger.


PFxSCORPIO

It's just a toy. But I saw a few people on YouTube carrying fake guns to cosplay events, is it really that risky?


ThePeacefulGamer

..yes. It looks like the real thing and will be treated as such.


DebatableJ

Yes, a teenager was just killed a few days ago because a security guard thought their BB gun was real. https://abcnews.go.com/US/washington-man-allegedly-kills-teen-mistook-airsoft-gun/story?id=110990087


Sir-xer21

>Yes, a teenager was just killed a few days ago because a security guard thought their BB gun was real. While this is a risk, that is NOT what happened. a dude looking for an excuse who was NOT working, racially profiled a group of people in a state where open carry is legal by assuming they were going to rob the store, and shot a kid who didn't even have the airsoft gun. It had nothing to do with the airsoft gun looking real. that was an excuse for his hero fantasy, and he wasn't even working at the time. presenting it as "a security guard thought their BB gun was real" robs the story of critical context.


toddbeltz

It’s just a toy is what every kid wished the police had heard after they were shot and killed. Seriously if you have a death wish then by all means bring it. Otherwise maybe think again about your decision because cool people in costume don’t look so cool all shot up


b_nnah

Put like a cap or something on it to make sure people know it's fake but otherwise yeah absolutely


SolidDoctor

I don't think it's fake. might be a Glock BB gun though.


Acceptable-Fold9015

Are you serious? I need new brain cells ... It's fucking fake... A plastic toy is what it is


adastro66

Yeah but you have all the time in the world to look at a picture and pick out the details that make it look fake. Accidents happen off of mere second impulses.


Acceptable-Fold9015

It's fake, it's a toy.. case closed no arguments...


TheHadokenite

Wave that in front of a cop and see what happens

SolidDoctor

Citing the reality of black people being shot for having fake guns does not make me a racist. It is actually a reality, and I can cite several high profile cases where black people were killed for brandishing fake guns. Like [Tamir Rice](https://exhibits.stanford.edu/saytheirnames/feature/tamir-rice) and [John Crawford III](https://reason.com/2014/08/08/police-shoot-man-holding-fake-gunnear-fa/). I can't cite any cases where white people were shot for having fake guns in public, for some weird unknown reason.


KomaliFeathers

Would you bet your life on it when someone points it at you. I wouldn’t


SolidDoctor

I didn't zoom in but I did see the Glock insignia. I've seen some extremely realistic looking Glock BB guns. At a distance all you need is for two people to panic, one with the phone and the other with a badge. And then you're bleeding out a chest cavity.


toddbeltz

Yup. And yet he claims it’s “just a toy”🤦🏻‍♂️


JohnStarborn

Glock 18 is full auto, its obviously fake


SolidDoctor

Only obvious to someone who is very knowledgeable of military/police issue firearms, or someone who is holding it and examining up close.


KomaliFeathers

Maybe it’s obvious to the Eagle that can spot prey from the sky, but not so obvious to humans


PFxSCORPIO

Actually I spray painted it black to make it look realistic 😂


KJM100001

Might not have been the right choice if you ever want to take it out of the house. Outside of the house its dangerous to take a replica that looks realistic.


RedDead0331

Is this a legit question? No shit it’s a good prop looks like a G18. Good enough to look legit from a distance or in the hands of someone who hasn’t handled a real Glock up close. Wouldn’t bring this to a cosplay or anything where someone would mistake it as being real.


PFxSCORPIO

Lol thanks, I'll make sure I don't get myself killed/arrested 😁


RemcoTheRock

Trigger discipline = 0 No, learn something about gun safety first even if it’s a fake weapon.


KomaliFeathers

Bro these replies are the perfect recipe for negligent discharge casserole💀💀


urannoyingpissoff

First rule of gun safety is to have fun, finger on trigger = fun

TeeMoney04

Are you serious? Lol


PFxSCORPIO

Lol sorry, I know that's not how you hold a firearm, it's just for the picture 💀


MysticalCheese_55

Dude I had that same fucking blanket


PFxSCORPIO

Sorry, didn't get you


Void_X_Genome

Put some bright colours on it for the love of god


PFxSCORPIO

It was actually red, I spray painted it to make it look more realistic 😂


Void_X_Genome

That's a big no no. Walking around with something like that in public is basically asking to get shot. People might get the wrong idea


Left-Membership8838

Get a gas blow back airsoft one with the stendo


Vidonicle_

Yeah, and it should probably have an orange tip, and I would keep it in a holster at all times glued down


KJM100001

The tip won't show in a holster, so I would put orange somewhere on the grip too. Glue it in there.


PFxSCORPIO

Kk will check that out as well, thanks!


Muffin284

Just get an Arisoft one You'll have a new toy, and a good cosplay


ThatUglyGuy12

Do you live in America? Because I would not carry that


PFxSCORPIO

No I don't live in the US 😂


ThatUglyGuy12

Lol then go for it man! We got trigger happy police here


JacobMT05

The states is probably one of the few places you could get away with carrying it due to their gun laws.


ThatUglyGuy12

I'm not talking about carrying it, I'm talking about the police (or other people) thinking it's real and shooting you if something happens in or around the area OP is in. A kid was shot outside walmart the other day with a toy guy.


JacobMT05

Thats probably because he didn’t have it holstered and was being a dick with it. Open carry is allowed in the states. Carrying a gun means you have it on you. Carrying means you either have it in a holster or in your hand. If you wanna be even more technical the guy was likely brandishing it, which just means to carry it in the hand.


ThatUglyGuy12

Nice, victim blaming. Quite literally not true, so stop being an idiot.

ValerianKeyblade

An innocent teenager was shot seven times and killed by a member of law enforcement and you're blaming the kid? Get some perspective. If you're interested in the facts, he was trying to return it to the shop he bought it from and was just outside.


sciencesold

Don't be a moron, don't carry anything that looks like a real weapon in public with cosplay


PFxSCORPIO

Don't worry, I'll take care 😅


reglent

I have only one thing to say: TRIGGER DISCIPLINE. Even if its fake, (Im assuming it is) bb guns/ airsoft/ paintball/even nerf make you wear some kind of protection for a reason. them shit hurts. (exept for nerf, they just make you wear glasses.)


PFxSCORPIO

Yeah am sorry, still learning, will take care from the next time on.


reglent

its all good, sorry if i came across doochy. side note, that is a VERY nice replica, were did you get it?


PFxSCORPIO

Na mate it's fine! And well thanks! Although the proportions are a bit odd and bulky compared to the original gun it won't matter to the majority of the people, except gun enthusiasts. I got it from Amazon for $13.


reglent

Dayum, 13 bucks is nice. do you have a link to the original?


taylorthestang

May want to put an orange tip on that chief


TheeAJPowell

Paint the tip orange, or just keep it in your holster the entire time man. Not worth getting into legal trouble for an accurate costume.


KomaliFeathers

Aesthetically speaking, sure. Legally speaking, absolutely not. You will get hassled very hard. The two most sensitive things to cosplay (in my experience) are weapons and military uniforms of any kind. I would highly caution against it unfortunately. Edit: I would consider showing off your cosplay to us redditors.


HURT1NGY0URFEEL1NGS

Spray it gold for sure


PFxSCORPIO

Okay


miojo

Why go through the trouble?


22222B

Good enough for this to be a terrible idea, get an orange tip


Paper_Kun_01

Nice is that the red one? I've got the same. And to all the people saying he's gonna get shot, I doubt it that gun is massive compared to a real glock it's literally the size of a nerf gun


PFxSCORPIO

Yes exactly is the red one! I spray painted it black to make it look more realistic! And yes, the barrel is pretty big compared to a real Glock, do you know if all the blasters come in the same size or they make some real Glock sizes too? Let me know.


Paper_Kun_01

I doubt they make them real sizes, I got mine from Aliexpress for $15 there's a bunch of different types of blasters on there like a beretta and revolver


PFxSCORPIO

I see, I got it from Amazon for $13, didn't find Beretta or revolver there, but a Glock and Deagle variants were available, even though the size is a little bigger than the original, the looks and details are pretty accurate, that's what attracted me.


HoodrichAli

Should always have the end of the barrel painted in public so people know it’s for show ina sense


PFxSCORPIO

Will remember that thanks! 👍🏻


JacobMT05

Yes works fine but don’t be a prat with it (don’t aim it at people, only draw it for photos)


PFxSCORPIO

Yeah will take care of that


PurplePassion94

Raising some red flags there bud


PFxSCORPIO

💀💀


cheeckybaconm8

Chuck some red or orange tape or whatever on the end so people know it’s a toy gun not a real gun.. but even then taking your chances 🤣


PFxSCORPIO

Lol okay 😂😂


CrazedRaven01

As long as you don't have any intention of bringing that into a convention centre, sure! Even crafted wooden swords and spears are required to have some kind of ziptie on it to ensure that it's a fake weapon. Bringing a real gun (or something that \*looks\* like a real gun) is a sure way for you to cosplay as a block of Swiss Cheese


PFxSCORPIO

Alright thanks for the information, I'll take care of all the precautions for sure.


Burritozi11a

Paint the muzzle bright orange


blobb63

What.. Is it? Is it an air soft gun? Because for an air aoft gun it looks very fake. For a real gun it looks fake. But they've gone to the effort of branding etc on the gun, so I'm so confused.


PFxSCORPIO

It's basically a shell ejecting blaster, a kids toy.


DrTaxFree

Finger off the trigger noob


Spicymemedoge

If you wanna be on a t-shirt then go ahead


Always_A_Dreamer556

You should spray paint it gold to show you unlocked all the camos for it


IsiahGtz

Too bulky


ImReflexess

Oh huh I wonder if the toy Glock 18 would be a good prop to look like a Glock 18?? Maybe try a 357 magnum instead


Curiousyoders19

At least put an orange tip on it


Seahund88

If you are going out in public, get one colored orange or at least with an orange tip. That prop looks real and could make people jumpy.


Atathor

Whatever you do, do NOT do that. If you need to take a prop, take a Nerf gun and keep it bright and colorful


Educational_Kiwi902

My brother you are getting SHOT


VampEngr

Most fake guns have orange color at the muzzle tip to indicate it is indeed fake


SMuRG_Teh_WuRGG

Put orange tape on it so that police know it's not a live firer or you will probably get detained.


MrJoker1996

Tard.


lowbrowilluminati

Good enough to get shot over.


Nazon6

Put an orange tip on the end.

No, Ghost doesn’t use a pistol, he uses a knife


StupidSlick

It looks alright just get an airsoft gun though


_Price__

Popo : didn't seem like a prop to me


Swixxxxx

I would put orange tape on the end part so you don’t get arrested


[deleted]

Go to a police station and point it at an officer to really immerse yourself into the role


Dane__55

The proportions are weird.


Odd_Cryptographer577

OP why tf are you asking r/CallOfDuty? DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH! Firstly on your country’s rules and secondly the rules of the convention you want to cosplay at. Most conventions will require an orange tip to be visible from a distance. This immediately rules this glock out. It’s clear from your comment responses you’ve already decided. So for the love of god use basic common sense and think ahead. Do the research (above), transport it in an appropriate bag to and from the convention (i.e., the UK requires firearms of ALL types to be transported in a purpose made bag - no doubt there are people who don’t follow it). Check if the convention has arrival procedures for imitation firearms etc etc. If you have ANY DOUBT after doing the research then DO NOT TAKE IT.


YerkemCentralStation

Go up to any cop or security and try racking the slide to show them it’s a fake, and then tell them to look down the barrel so they can see there are no bullets


Whiskey90

Long as it's vaguely Glock shaped I think it'll do.


BlitzPF

As a gun nerd its a pretty far from reality replica but at a distance and at a glance it might aswell be real


PFxSCORPIO

Yeah, that's what every gun enthusiast told me, although can you tell me what are the things that make gun nerds understand it's fake? Apart from the size and bulky slide, no trigger safety and a scope mounting rail on top? Even I'm interested in learning about firearms as much as possible, so your input would help a lot.


BlitzPF

The lines of the frame dont match, the way the front of the frame merges into the grip looks too choppy, on a real glock it flows into eachother more. Grip itself also looks pretty chunky and blocky in comparison. Its also very easy to spot that the slide and frame are made of the same cheap plastic instead of steel and polymer, also the front bottom rail is too straight. Thats pretty much it. Everything else you already named. For me it was more a general sense of "thats not a glock" instead of one specific thing until I spotted the optics rail. The fact that its a glock 18 also made it obvious as those are pretty much unattainable for civilians anywhere in the world. You should take a look at the Glock 18 on glocks website and compare, see how many differences you can find


PFxSCORPIO

Alright mate, thanks for your feedback! Appreciate it!


psychopapii

Yeah it’ll do 👍🏽


PFxSCORPIO
