Odd request, need some replicas and fakes for a seminar
A few years ago I gave a seminar at teh innagural Sangawa Project, and over 21 anime convention of sorts, aimed at people who used to do that sort of thing, but wanted to get away from the kids.
My talk goes over how looking at prop weapons as just toys can lead to a dangerous or deadly situation (and I have seen it first hand) when those that are not familiar with them encounter a firearm. I also give tips on how to pose for photos and not do things like use a "tea cup" grip, and how to trvel and where not to travel with fake weapons.
The most eye opening portion of this is where I have a table of mixed real and fake firearms (all verified unloaded of course) and do a round of "Real or fake". I had a 75% accuracy rate last time.
When I first did this talk, I had a few more airsoft guns than I do now. So I am looking for anyone who may have replicas that would be willing to loan them for an evening. The event is at the Greentree Best Western this weekend (my panel starts Friday at 8), and if you are willing to lend some for a good cause, please let me know by PM or email ( bryan.spiegel at verizon.net ).
Thanks!

Might get you a little closer to post on there but if your not a member I don't know what kind of response you'll get.

Thanks, I'm going to stop over at Amped on my way home tomorrow and see if they can help with any leads.

No problem, they are good guys there. I don't know for sure if they can help but it's probably your best shot.
