Sketchcore! need a prop cap gun for OOB Festival performance

Post by illades »

Hi all.

My sketch group, Sketchcore!, needs a prop gun for our show at the Festival on Sept. 1, and we'd like to avoid the airport hassle of trying to get one on the plane.

It has to look real and it has to use caps that are somewhat loud.

does anyone know of a shop in Austin where this can be purchased?

We would be extremely grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure that this is the correct forum for this post, but so be it.

There are cap guns at the HEB at Oltorf and Congress (2 miles down the road from The Hideout.) They had snub-nose .38's that look real enough, except for the safety-orange cap they put on the muzzle.

We might have a good big-ass .44 cap gun in the theatre, too. I'll check tonight when I go to Cops & Lawyers rehearsal.

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

If you have one in the theater and you don't mind us borrowing it, that would be awesome. If not, we will head into that store as soon as we hit Austin.

Thanks again.

Any Academy Sporting goods may also have one.
