Wooden Mock-ups?

Another idea for you!!

My young son has a Green plastic squirt gun (water pistol) that is exactly a copy of a luger, perhaps you could buy a bunch of these cheap squirt guns for about $5 bucks each, then cut off the barrels and add a wooden dowel inside them to lengthen the barrel to 4 3/4". Also if you need to make the frame longer just cut the frame and insert a wooden block and lengthen it. So for about 5 bucks a few wooden dowels, blocks and a little Epoxy glue you can have what you want. Add a little black paint to improve the looks and you whould have something that would work and would be a whole lot cheaper than a prop gun or a dart gun.

If you this idea is a little to much of a "cobble job" for you, I can also help with the wooden model idea, because I have a great deal of woodworking experience and have a complete shop to fabricate in.
