Airsoft Replica questions

[dystopian]

I'm planning on going this year, my first con, and I'm wanting to go as a Stalker from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series of games. The only issue I see are weapons.
A rifle is an integral part of a Stalker's gear, but I've seen rules for some con's that is has to be brightly colored, magazines out, orange tip on top of that.

I've only seen one thread on this subject, and I read that it has to be unloaded and have a orange tip. The orange tip doesn't bother me, neither does unloaded, but if unloaded includes having a magazine out, it just wouldn't be the same.

Also, are plastic/training knives allowed?

Yo,

Bring the rifle and magazine but leave the magazine out. Stop by the information table and we'll get security to approve if you can have it in the rifle. No promises, but that's the process necessary if you want it in.

Yes, plastic knives are allowed.

2 years ago I brought a very large nerf gun to the con. Painted black, kept the orange tip, magazine in but empty. Nothing was said to me the whole con and it was sticking above my head by atleast 3-4 ft.

I'm doing a Leon Kennedy cosplay and the only good gun replicas I can find for a good price are airsoft guns that fire the plastic pellets. whats your policy on things like that?

Well it really depends. We would like to see it first and then decide. So bring it to registration desk when you arrive.
