needs the orange plastic :/

the little "toy" cap that goes on the end of the barrel, yes? thats what the last sentence in my description is referring to...

well I mean paint isn't gonna quite do the job

that implies that NOTHING does the job, because all the red plastic is is a colored barrel tip that says "hey, hey, attention here, i'm letting you know this is just a toy" which is what the red paint would do, painting the plastic end of my silencer (and the threading I put on the barrel) would draw attention to it... although with the fact that I engineered it to not impede shooting ability, I intend to get a small plastic plug to put in it as well... so maybe a red plastic plug too...

besides, the fact remains that...if there is EVER a doubt or question, an officer SHOULD investigate a subject, whether they "see red" or not... christ, I left the top half of the magazine unpainted so I could eject it and end that kind of confusion immediately...that and of course, I'm building this with the expectation that if I use it, it will be for a convention costume, of which I saw multiple people at AC with prop guns, and nobody questioned them...

Looks cool kitten.

it'll look cooler if I can do what I want to do with the grip inserts, which is scrape the painted design off and repaint them with an Umbrella Corp logo...

Remember that scene in Scanner Darkly where the guy makes the homemade silencer and it's all super loud and explodey? Dun hurt yourself kitty :/ but I trust ya with explodey stuff, to make sure they explode right!

its perfectly safe, its just an airsoft pistol, the worst thing that could happen is the open air environment of the "silencer" makes the pellet ricochet around inside, which would be inconvenient yes but as I said in my phase 1 pic, I don't even play airsoft so this really will be nothing but a prop pistol ^_^ that and of course I have a very nice engineering mind, I know that there are very strict tolerances to the manufacture of real ones, and would only purchase one from a reputable manufacturer...
