I am interested in purchasing a rifle that shoots air. I saw one at Pirates of Emerson in Pleasanton, CA. It was in a western-type facade, and it looked like an old west rifle and it shot air when the guy pulled the trigger (I think it was hooked up to an air compressor). Does anyone know who makes these or where I could purchase one? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The air gun made by Randy Grigg at http://hauntedenterprises.com/
We blatantly stole the idea from Heartstoppers after seeing how well the concept worked (Thanks Joel!)
Heartstoppers is in Rancho Cordova, CA we are in Pleasanton, CA
The mechanics of the gun would be simple enough to make (check out the thread on air cannons by Rich Strelak). The issue is incorporating it into a lightweight prop that actually looks like a shotgun.

Fake guns that look like REAL guns aren't easy to find in California!!! I have looked all over for a fake rifle for our western section and can't find anything. Does anyone have any idea where I could get one? Or would someone consider building one for me? I will happily pay!!!

These are exact replicas of the real thing, they even weigh the same. You can use black Rit dye from the bleach section of Walmart to change the color, or I suppose you could use a rattle can of paint. There are many sources for blue guns or dummy guns on the net, this is just one. Ebay is usually the cheapest once you determine what exactly you are looking for.
