Okay, i'm doing Jill Valentine in her battlesuit from Resident Evil 5 and i'm struggling a bit with the guns. She has two Skorpion vz. 61 machine guns (i'll put a ref. link up at the bottom. I was thinking about buying a prop gun that resembles it (such as an MP5) and customizing it, or maybe make them from scratch out of foam or something? Help please - I need opinions and advice!

Thanks!

I made mine put of foam but getting good detail on them takes ages. If you're able to get them, airsoft ones might be good - just deactivate them then paint them the proper colours. I'm on my phone so I might have the wrong link, but a friend suggested these to me: http://www.cheapestbbguns.co.uk/two-tone-skorpion-vz-61-submachine-pistol-springer-bb-gun.html

they look perfect! and they're not very expensive, thank you very much!

Glad I could help
I never managed to find the holster straps she has for them, but they're simple enough to make if you use webbing for the main body and elastic to hold the guns in place.
Best of luck with the costume

yes, I think webbing & elastic is a good idea! Thank you for your help!
