First, I wasn't sure whether to post this here, or in the "On the Set" forum. So, mod, if there is a more appropriate forum, please move accordingly.
Anyway, I wanted to use the Beretta 92 INOX in my film, as one of the prop guns. I particularly wanted to use an airsoft version with the Beretta inscriptions on the slide (the "PIERETTO BERETTA" thing inscribed on the side of the slide). I really like that gun and wanted to use that for my film. It looks exactly like the real deal except that it fires BBs and not actual bullets. But here's the problem: There is the Western Arms manufactured Beretta 92 INOX (that's an airsoft) but everywhere I go looking for it, it's sold out, which I'm not surprised because it's really rare and it costs $300.
Would it be more worth it if I just got the KJW chromed m92 with NO INSCRIPTIONS on the slide that's only between $60 and $100? I wanted it to look as real as possible on screen, and I did want it to shine. What would you guys recommend I do? After all, this is my first film.
