Greetings and salutations one and all. DevilPool here, and I joined this community only today honestly to seek out some information from people
who might be able to answer me, as google lead me here and can't help worth a damn.
My question is about resin weapons and UK law. Now I am from the UK, I know the laws about most weapons through research there abouts, and
through double checking and even bookmarking necessary pages. But one thing I haven't found any information on is resin weapons.
I finally have a chance to complete my DeadPool costume, mask, swords and all of them perhaps very soon, and so before I start buying at all
I wanted to make sure about a few things.
It is illegal to own an imitation firearm in the UK, this I know but I know two tone guns are legal especially as props which would be the only reason
I bloody wanted them in the first place. I know someone who makes custom resin guns as props, and I can perhaps soon afford them. He's even fine
making it extra two tone (Red and Black) and adding the classic red tip so people know it is fake.
I also know someone who professionally can make resin swords with weight for prop and cosplay work which is ideal as mine are wood as well but
are falling apart after a couple years and people constantly trying to fight at events with them, much to my constant and blunt telling off for stealing
my weapons.
The full description of the swords is as follows:
38 inches long Stainless steel rod inside each sword to add realistic weight and stiffness. Blades are coated with epoxy resin for a durable finish.
My question is quite simple: Anyone know if this is going to get me some unnecessary trouble just for a blasted prop or can I go ahead and complete
my costume finally?
Again they would be two tones as concerns the guns and made of resin as well, like the swords save for the metal rods. Any information would be
appreciated as I have been trying to find these props for years, quite literally. Most are cheap imitations and break and or are so expensive they could
be made of gold. I know for a fact at the events I go to, the two tone guns at the bare minimal are allowed, I've seen people with real looking weapons
at these things but I wanted to double check.
