Honestly man, I did my assault rifle for my chief build out of pep, and those 9 days of pepping were the most grueling experience of my entire build. If you can, Id avoid making weapons from pep. marshon has an amazing tutorial on making foam and cardboard weapons HERE. Id highly suggest taking a look at it.

AGREED. try to find sliced pep files. im working with one right now for a dmr, and it so much easier, especially if you have the right tools. couldnt imagine making a pep weapon, thats just insane
 
that does seem easier but I was going to convert them into a specific file for a cnc machine but I wont have a machine until a few months and I got alot of files to convert with the cnc program's that I have so that way I have them ready for it but I will try the cardboard to use as scale reference for upclose detail so thank you guys for your help
 
If your not looking for a fantasy weapon, then you don't need to pep it. You can get airsoft guns from $5-$10 dollars really easily, and the details would be much better then if you pepped it. Airsoft guns are the best for real life gun props.
 
hold on, there could be a problem. depending on which country you are from they are sadly illegal. over in australia and certain other countries you are fined for trying to import them and also fined if the police find one in your ownership. but we are aloud to but the even more dangerous bb guns, like thats fair!:angry
 
its not a problem for me to get airsoft guns its legal were im at i got a small collection a couple of them dont work so i use them as standard props and to teach my cousins on how guns work and how to properly use them but ya thats not a problem to get those as long as i dont paint the tip of them or do anything stupid with them
 
Ok. If you paint over them, just get somebheavy tape like duct tape or even masking tape to cover the orange tip and paint away like heck. That should keep the paint off it.
 
Im Currently working on two Guns from Halo, a Pistol and a Grenade launcher from reach.....For the love of all that is good and fluffy Please do go with cardboard because it is taking forever with Just the pistol and i all but gave up on the grenade launcher pep.

well that sucks! in canada were somewhat loose on airsoft. OR you could gut the gun and keep the casing to make it legal
