Cheap Gun with Blow Back Action !! Not Airsoft - Filmmaking QUICK FX

Today's video is showing off a toy gun I found that will make a great movie prop gun! A $6 dollar toy gun with trigger activated blowback!! The batteries are for the 'combat sounds', the trigger activates the blowback slide effect.


(In case there's any confusion, I added a digital effect in the end sequence to show what the gun would look like in a finished film.)

The assets of that effect are available here:

http://www.freesound.org (gunshot sound)


No CO2 needed! A cheap alternative to an airsoft prop gun!

I thought it'd be a great, cheap alternative for a prop gun for your next film!!

Here's another gun I found similar to the one in this video:

what kind of paint did you use on the gun? Regular black? Flat black? Keep making awesome videos!

[Knoptop]

@Hodgson316 flat black seems to be the least sticky

Where did you get the smoke at the end? That's the most realistic gun smoke I've seen.

i checked many stores that sell toy guns but they didnt sell is there anywhere else you can get one?

[Knoptop]

@intensevfx1 you'll probably have to pick something up online.

@magicandstuff123 Try some baby powder

[janegak]

GOD! this guy is awesome

[ncrcbros]

Would it still blowback without batteries

[zaz4501]

you suck you are what 10000 and you still play with toy guns. WOW thats the frickin stupidest thing ive heard. well go jump in a black hole

[RedVanWithCandy]

But what really separates the air soft gun from the prop you showed is that the air soft gun does actually still have a little bit of kick, so the actor can mimick it's movement a little better, and also they're full metal so you can get up close to them with the camera without the cheap rattling sound or fake look.

WTF

[123AwesomeBen]

[chrisnciss]

[LegoRobot19]
