who the FUCK would point any type of weapon, real or fake, at a police officer? or anybody not willing to have that done to them? expect to get shot if you point a gun, real or fake, at anybody that doesnt know that it is not real.

@STKhero Too right. We were making a movie that had a tone of replica guns in it even painted up to look like steel. we had one shot filming in an area accross from the Navy base. and it took the best part of two days and full discriptions of what we were wearing in order to film it. every time we had to use one even for gree screen in the garden at the house it was a call to the police before hand incase somebody called up in a panic. So can't mess around when it comes to guns.
