  Blowback Gun for Special Effects in After Effects?

  Posted by Jordan Orberg on October 10, 2007 at 5:21 pm

  Hey Everybody —
  I will be shooting a small robbery sequence and am in need of some realistic guns for the shoot. (No Pun Intended :O) Its definitely a low-budget shoot — so my budget for each gun is $80 – $100.

  I’ll be using After Effects to create muzzell flashes, so I would like something that looks pretty realistic. I know that Andrew Kramer uses Airsoft Guns with blowback, but i don’t really know anything about them and I want to make sure that I get something that is going to look pretty good.

  Does anybody have any suggestions or a website that I could purchase these things from?

  Search the COW for “muzzle”, and also look for detonationfilms.com.

  I’m looking for the guns — not the effect 🙂 I know how to do the effect. I’m just looking for the hardware!!

  Ah, yes — sorry.

  Did you Google “blowback guns” or “airsoft”? I just did, and found a few sites.

  I buy my air-soft guns at http://www.hobbytron.com they have anything you’re looking for plus more. Best of all the guns there are durable and cheap. You will be spending and estimate of $20 for an excellent blow-back gun.
