    Jun 13, 2012 - Anyone run 2 sets of gear/weapons with their costumes (public vs. private) #1

    So I've been collecting stuff forever toward my aliens colonial marine setup, and some of the best stuff I have, i know I will never ever be able to take out of my house. In particular my firing (airsoft), metal pulse rifle and the "night raider" knife.

    Despite my best efforts/intentions, no convention, bar, or public halloween party is going to let me in the door with this stuff! Knowing this, I am working on alternate props at the same time as the good stuff. Which brings me to the point of the thread:

    -Who has some cool "backup/alternate" accesories? (the ones you use when you know the 'good stuff' would be frowned upon).

    -Anyone have a story of 'wish they had'/vs/'glad they didnt' go the 'safe' route and comprimise with their accesories/weapons?

    I'm planning on getting a real AR-15 SP1 and M1911 to go with my Naked Snake costume, and I do have the real knives currently. I have cheap, clear airsoft guns and plastic/rubber practice knives for when I go to conventions.
