Devil May Cry Guns In Airsoft Replica Form!
Posted by Brian Ashcraft at 11:00 PM on August 4, 2008
Look! Check out what Hobby Media discovered at this year's Wonder Festival: Airsoft pistol versions of the guns from Devil May Cry carries! That's right, here are pellet-shooting replicas of Dante's swish Ebony & Ivory firearms. Unlike those guns, these don't have unlimited ammo. Still pretty neat.
Hit the jump for ebony:

I have the hellsing versions of these and I can see that the same company which made both hellsing and these are lazy, there are many parts of these guns I recognize, I hate when companies can't even be bothered to make a new mould and just make something new out of bits and pieces of other products.

That's pretty hot, if I were younger and more into buying stuff like that I'd be all over it.

Those look awesome, but I probably wouldn't use them. They'd just end up being a decorative piece because I know the first tiem I start playing with them, someone is going to get shot in the eye.

@sherv:
My brother does airsoft, and in the US, you have to have orange nozzles on the guns PERIOD if they look realistic (like these do). I think it's illegal not to, and if I recall, a kid here recently covered his airsoft guns with black electrical tape and ended up getting shot by a police officer who mistook his gun for the real thing as a result.
Nice guns, though.

The silver one looks kinda plastic-y, but nice.

Those are some really nice reproductions. A lot better than some others I've seen. They even have the unique triggers on each gun.

These look nice, cosplayers rejoice!
...actually, doesn't one have to have orange nozzles/barrels in order to bring guns to cons?

did Ivory actually say "Ebony and Ivory" on the one white gun? Those both look fexxing fantastic.

@Killer_WaLrUs:
Most airsoft playfields have a "safe zone", and outside of the safe zone if you're caught without your goggles on you usually get thrown out.
That said, I rather think these look like ass. Ivory should have been chromed and the gold spraypaint trigger, hammer, safety and decocker look like golden ass.

A thin band of orange tape at the end for when you're out in public with them, and you'd be set for not getting shot. :P
Really awesome though. Wish I had buddies around who were still playing airsoft.

All I can think about is the song.
Dante: "Ebony and Ivory!"
Nero: "Live in perfect harmony!"

These are NOT working replicas, they're just resincast models. If you look closely at the pictures, you can see they are just hunks of painted resin. And here's the product page for them! [www.poseidon.co.jp]
@Re1gn: The same company already did Alucard's guns, YEARS ago. As resin models (Manga and anime versions of the Casull and the anime version of the Jackal) and as working airsoft gun conversion kits. (Only the Jackal)
@Nekusagi: Bzzt. Orange tips are only a legal requirement for sale and import. The guns themselves, without orange tips, are not illegal... Running around with them in public is, (Because it can be construed as a real firearm, and cause a disturbance.) and pointing one at a cop is going to get you killed even if the whole damn thing is spraypainted orange.
Anyone who says otherwise is not acquainted with US law and reality, in that order. Also, airsoft guns are classed as 'replica firearms' and/or 'toy guns'. Not BB/Pellet guns. (Although such classifications often seem random, haphazard and inconsistent, or at the very least dependent on origin.)

@TheBakachan: Not QUITE accurate on the legality, but it certainly is stupid to run around with them, even WITH orange tips.

So, if fired rapidly while in th air do they significantly increase hang time?

BTW, they got Ivory wrong. It should have a brown grip instead of plain white.
@Nekusagi: @Kenji-sama: Not that it matters, because often cops will shoot you regardless. Hell, you could be holding a baby doll. The fact that they're shaped like guns at all is enough to get yourself shot down.

Is it just me or is that sentence horribly wrong?
