prop weapons?

[ike]

Hello, thought I'd ask this before I commit to a cosplay...

I've got an airsoft gun that I'd like to use for a cosplay; I can make it so that it's unable to fire and all the mechanisms used to fire a projectile are disabled. None of the parts that would allow it to fire would move. There may be other parts that can move but they would only affect the "look" of the gun.

The other situation I have is that I may be getting a bokken as well, would that be ok?

We will have the final edited cosplay rules and weapons rules up on the website again shortly (I forgot that they were taken down from last year). Sorry about that! ><;;

Here's our weaspons policy from last year:

Weapons/Large Prop Policy

No real weapons. This includes use of steel of any type, guns, flare guns, etc.

Types of fake weapons that are allowed: Anything made of papermache or other material that gives if you were to hit someone with it hard enough to hurt them. Toy guns and other forms of plastic weaponry are also allowed. Please use common sense. If you were to take public transport and wouldn't bring your weapon on with you in plain sight then you shouldn't have it.

ALL weapons and large props (anything over 3ft in any direction) must be bonded at the sign in table. If you don't have your weapon or prop with you at sign in then just find a member of staff when you bring it in and they will either bond it or get someone who can.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
we're going to firm it up having policies about bokkens and airsoft guns so thanks for reminding! Also prop size limitis heh.

Alright, but what does "bonding" entail?
