Custom made, everything from Spike's Glock to Alculard's handgun. It'll make you rethink the 2nd amendment. _________________ Sometimes I miss my sanity- Wedge Antilles |

Ok I'd like to have
http://www.poseidon.co.jp/2F/vash_o/vgv_1.html
But the grip seems wrong. And then theres the lack of the name of the gun on the side. In tri-gun I have caught a glimpse of "COLT LONG 45" on the side of the gun.
Which btw leads into this. hmm... how to say this without spoiling things. You know lets ignore plot problem one and just ask
"Why is Vash carrying an american gun?" Dont answer with any spoilers for those watching the show for the first time. Feel free to private mesage me the answer that you think |

That's the gun from the manga. The anime version was so popular, they're sold out at the moment. _________________ Sometimes I miss my sanity- Wedge Antilles |

closer to 180 dollars if I remember my basics of conversion. 1 yen basicly equals 1 cent. _________________ "Veni. Vedi. Spooki." - Julius Caesar

Actually it's about 149.38 which isn't that bad for a custom made gun of that size. God those are sweet.

I use the 1 yen = 1 cent equasion to get a basic rough idea of what something will cost with as little to no math as possible. _________________ "Veni. Vedi. Spooki." - Julius Caesar

That's just the caliber, or the cartridge used. The gun actually looks like an old break-top Smith & Wesson (but I'm sure it isn't).

Because Japanese guns suck. Which is why they don't make them anymore, except as foreign exports for and designed by other companies (Browning and Weatherby).

I agree it looks like a smith and wesson but it did say "Colt long 45" on the side.
I noticed it mentioned "Gas guns" are these airsoft guns? |

Like I said above, that's only the name of the cartridge the gun fires. _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S. Lewis

Yes.
Personal possession of FIREARMS (at least handguns) is illegal. There's nothing illegal about having non-working replicas, air/CO2 guns or toys.
Longarms (rifles and shotguns) might be OK, but heavily regulated. I don't really know. _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S. Lewis

*drools* i soooo want those.
If these were true airsoft guns, they would opperate off of "green gas" If they take cO2 cartriges then they are pellet guns/bb guns. _________________ FFXI: Heavens Redmage. Level 75
