For next ACen I want to go as Takaya Sakaki from Persona 3, for those who are not aware of the character please click this wiki: http://megamitensei....i/Takaya_Sakaki

It's a very simple cosplay (and I apologize for the shirtlessness), my wife who fell in love with the game declared I am the only man thin enough to do him justice so she demands it. My big problem with it of course is the GIANT S&W 500 revolver he carries around. It's about the only definitive part of his outfit, and I have no idea how to go about purchasing a cosplay safe weapon. I was wondering if anyone had tips or resources for it?

I can of course go without the revolver and I am tempted to walk that rout, but if it's like a kiddy toy gun with an orange tip is it okay? How about airsoft with NO AMMO AT ALL anywhere near the convention. I have no interest in guns or such, just on an accurate and safe cosplay and the last thing I want is to upset people or the police for my quest to be a good cosplay. So anyone on staff or who has done weapons before, any advice?

sadly there is a rule for realistic weapons
blue guns are cool

question, can you have a painted wooden gun? *thought they had to be see-through now*
Kurogane= 98% --> I want a better cape, and I need the head thingy. (I don't see it making a comeback for 2011, but I'm still gonna finish it!!!
Germany= 2% --> have fabric and a wig. Just gotta style/cut it.
France= 30% --> got the pants and did a first draft coat. Have a wig but not sure I like it.
Gaz= 99% --> popped a seam at KollisionCon... v.v

I think that it can be painted as long as it remains obvious that it's made out of wood.
