Legality Issues

Are there any laws prohibiting the construction/use of OP-prop weapons?

I'm talking fake IED's, rockets, "nukes", etc...
The "fun stuff".

Was wanting to make a fake sachel charge for an event and I was wondering what the issues are with doing something like that...

I know that it is Sweden (?), but I watch airsoft vids by scoutthedoggie on Youtube, and they had a (looked) almost full-size V2 rocket that was a prop. Probably not an issue, if it's an official event and it's clearly not real (keep it wrapped in orange tape or in a brightly-colored bag until the game starts, then take it out. Since everyone will be carrying around rifles, it shouldn't be an issue IMO)

They play in Scotland, my friend. Hence the scottish accents.

And old red-white-and-blue country has some.. silly laws. I don't know though.

I think you can use them, as long as there is some thing indicating that they are replicated items. such as those claymore mines there is a few holes indicating, for your charges, just put some red electric tape on it or something.

And that's why the (?) is there. I wasn't sure. +1 to lonesniper, just mark it as not being real.

Are you Playing on a Private Field, Local Public Field, or Sponsered Event ???

The manufature of reproductions is not illegal, Exposing them in Public may be. It´s a Catch 22, you can have it, but not use it.

Regardless of where you are Playing, Check with the Owner first, Transport the replicas just like your Rifle, Packed away from public view.

Common sense needs to be used when constructing a Replica Prop, if you are going to be making Satchel Charged, Pack your Satchel Bag with something like Rolled Newspaper, IED Props -- Use anything other than Play-Do to simmulate the explosive ( Shaped Styrafoam, Foam Rubber ect. ) Stencil your props with a non-natural color ( Blue, Yellow, Pink ) `` PROP ´´ or `` DUMMY ´´, a little bit of paint may not remove all the worry, but it does go a long way to opening up the door to `` Understanding ´´.

When making rocket replicas, the same rules apply, shape and form can replicate the real thing, but it should be made as crude as possible, if it looks like it is something out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon ( A.C.M.E. ), you should not have any problems.

Every state is different, no pyro in California, too many fires!
Another annoying law in California is you can't have exotic pets, I wanted the Fennec Fox soooo bad!
But I digress, each state is differant
