My project which I and my grandfather invisioned when i first started this topic.. is now back on.. and progressing very nicely indeed
I am developing my own metal golden gun and My grandfather is making his own from brass as far as I know...
all I can say at the moment.. is that both guns are of our own design .. and study of the originals... No SD or other replicas have been reffered to at all ..
both Golden Guns.. will be of a different design .. we are making these separately...
both guns will feature woking lighters and bullet chambers... both guns will feature real writing fountain pen / gun barrels... wearable cufflink triggers and the handle will store cigarettes like the original did.... this is going to be one of the most functional replica props ever made... will be finished .. this year some time and both Gold Plated etc etc .....
and both guns will fire a loud flash bang ! in the barrel when the trigger is pulled.
so all the functions that EON achevied with 3 separate Guns.. we are making happen in one .
I would only have to worry about the laws if I was selling this as a product .. these 2 guns are for my own personal collection for the time being.. but if there is an interest in them.. they may be made available... But both Myself and My grandfather agreed.. these will only be made to commission under certain .. circumstances and conditions...
as I say .. I am looking forward to unvailing the guns to you .. its looking very good so far
and both guns will fire a loud flash bang ! in the barrel when the trigger is pulled.
ok, i'm not sure what you intend to use for this 'loud flash bang'.
regardless of whether you intend to sell this item or not, it is illegal (to the best of my knowledge) to produce an article that will chamber even a blank round.
if you intend on making your own caps, its also illegal to produce your own black powder. black powder will also give an unrealistic effect, but regardless, its still illegal to make it.
although a gun is in alot of cases, a simple device to design and build, it dows need to be made out of the right materials and pressure tested in a safe house. i'm not sure about blank firers, but i do know that de-activated weapons need a certificate declaring them safe, and that certificate is provided by the proof house at birmingham, uk.
now i know your GG you intend on making isn't going to be sold, and it isn't classed as a de-act, but it certainly would raise eyebrows and i'm guessing it would come under the 'replica firearms' or 'blank firer' catagories. if it does, them i can assure you, it is most certainly worth checking with your local firearms licencing department within you local police force to make absolutely sure that you aren't breaking any rules.
i'm not concerned about you making any article here mick, i'm just looking out for your own safety and trying to offer some advise about legalities.
for instance, if you make a gun (even a blank firer) out of the wrong materials, in the wrong way, you could risk blowing you sodding hand off.
i even saw one case where a guy fired a browning, the top slide fractured and went through his skull, killing him instantly. i mention this, because even professionally made weapons sometimes go wrong, and when they do, its curtains.
Hey people, give Michael a break!
Looks like every time he proposes something cool, he gets negative comments. Do you really think he will get in trouble with the law for making a cap gun, that even don't look like a real gun? I have never seen a real gun made out of gold. And firing a cap, will definitely not make this gun explode.
I must admit I am not familiar with the law in the UK, but this really sounds ridiculous. I even get the impression people are just jealous.
to set the record straight before anyone gets tetchy;
i've been in touch with mick for some time, and his work is excellent.
i don't have any problems with him making his own GG, i'm not jealous becasue if i had the time, i could make myself one anyways. 'jealousy', for me, has nothing to do with it.
the isssues i higlighted regarding uk gun law is important however.
since the handgun ban back in '96, uk gun law has become tighter and tighter, and with gun crime still on an increase, local authorities and national goverment are both treating guns extremely seruiously, as they should do.
in the uk, one man a few years back got shot outside a london pub by a firearms responce unit. the reason he did was because he was overheard in the pub, talking in a strong irish accent. he was carrying a table leg in a bin liner under his arm in the same manner as you would a shotgun, and because of the mis-information, he was shot dead.
when stuff like that happens in the uk, you have to be extremely careful what you do regarding guns.
now whether you class the GG as an imitation firearm or not, it has a barrel, is in the same configuration as a normal pistol and mick stated he intends to make it work with similar effect to that of a blank firer.
all i did was advise mick that he should seek advice from his local firearms licencing department regarding the legalities about his project, that way he can avoid any problems with the law. the law still applies whether he intends to sell it or not, so he should do his homework first.
mick - keep up the great work, your props that i've seen are amazing, and you should keep up your great hobby. be careful though and if you need any firearms advise, give me a call.
people should note that i hold a uk firearms licence, so i do know what i'm talking about.
I appreciate your concern.. very much and I am very greatfull ...
But the gun .. will fire a loud cap flash bang.. ! not a blank or metal round etc etc ...
I thank you very much Kleynen for the moral support there... I think some members on the board are just causous and safety minded .. which aint a bad thing....
maybe I am at fault for promoting the gun as a Golden Cannon ) IT WILL FALL UNDER the Quartermaster Privite Collection - and public display act... and not under the UK Gun laws and weapons act... )
As I say I am looking forward to unvailing this item... and I will have to make a video .. of it firing so you see the smoke coming out of the pen barrel and the flash and bang .....
the loss of a hand might be worth it for the finished Item ) I will have to get Lazar to make me one of those fingerless rifles he made for the fingerless assasin in TMWTGG
I know what I am doing .. and I am not making my own ammunition for the Golden Gun .. nothing of the sort....
but as I say thanks for your kind comments and concerns regarding the project
My Grandfathers the one you should be concerned about ) as he is a retired Engineer.. I was talking to him while he was making parts for it etc .. and he says things like .. '' in theory if we modified this spring here and here... and rifled the inside of the pen casing... we could make it fire a Golden Brass BB or fake bullet.. could be a REAL Working Golden Gun '' )
Dont worry his is going to fire caps aswell juts via a different mechanism from my model.
he just likes coming up with ideas and designs for mechanicles etc etc
) No probelm.... I would have to be honest .. it would have to be a transaction in a casino .. or in a stip club called the Bottoms Up... I could not post one of these )
Any plans of mass production for this much anticipated GG?
Reading what you said about your grandfathers design, couldn't you theoretically turn this project into an airsoft version of the GG? I don't know the laws regarding this, not to mention creating an airsoft version of the GG might be relatively difficult because the gun would have to come apart and be put back together. I don't know if you could accomplish that with an airsoft gun; if you did, I think you'd be the first haha.
Not suggesting that you do actually do this, especially since you've already got the project planned out; just thought it might be something interesting to look into for future alterations or modifications to your existing GG; once it's built of course {[]
well in my mind and my granfathers also ... we are pretty sure .. we are only going to make these 2 new Golden gun designs like i mentioned... but if the finished items turns out as good as we think it will ..
We may go down an airsoft route.... that would not be too diffucult to be honest....
we shall see what happend's
the only danger in my mind of that .. is
we make a working model with all the features and a flash bang cap firing mechanism...... then we make a working model with all the features that fires a BB ..... then how far will it actually go ......... then an air golden gun... then ... its time to call in a gunsmith to perfect the internal workings of a real one .. for use in controlled target ranges.... )
I may go down the BB gun route .. i have parts and the nessesary equipment to do it..... I would more than likely trip the interior workings and mechanisms from my high powered .. colt goverment model BB gun .. which just sits in a box collecting dust anyway .. and use its mechanicles....
LEGAL MESSAGE : THE PREVIOUS WAS JUST IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS .. NONE OF THIS WILL BE PUT INTO ACTION PLEASE DONT READ TOO MUCH INTO WHAT I HAVE SUGGESTED HERE........... NO NEED TO CALL THE COPS
everyone ! .. if you have to copy and paste the message above into any post you have made wich expresses any opinions or ideas which some may find ......... unlawful ...
the way things are going we will not be able to discuss. Bond using any form of gun or weapon... Bond will end up not using a gun in any film...... instead of trying to kill each other Bond and the villain will go into therapy and talking it out and resolve there differences... and come out skipping to the sound of ''SUNSHINE LOLLYPOPS AND RAINBOWS....'' )
just out of curiosity .. I do have many rare photos and refference material regarding the real Golden Guns.. however any help with this project by way of more photos would be greatly appreciated....
i'm not condoning drug dealing or any criminal activity for that matter, but convicted of firearms offences beacuse the replica could be made to fire .22 rounds?
anything can be made to fire .22 rounds, its a bit of a lame conviction.
however, she was dealing drugs and if there was intent on making the GG fire .22 rounds, then hell, chop her hands off.
i guess mick should be a little careful when he starts stating 'i'm gonna make a working golden gun'.
I see the right to chat and discuss projects openly and honestly... when I say working the gun .. will have a writing pen and working lighter etc.. I did not imply firing real live rounds of ammunition.. it will have working individual components..... it will hopefully fire a cap.... to create the illusion of a round being fired... no more harmful than a toy you can pick up down your local toy shop....
anyway I think there are bigger fish to fry out there.. than a Bond fan making his own replica prop .. u know the kids running around the streets in London with Uzi's and the gun crime from organised.. crime.... you know actual important stuff..... if I was to get cautioned for making something that is perfectly within the law.. the government and powers / authorities that be would have stooped to an all new low.... and also it would bring a dark cloud over the forums.. once our right to discuss issues and opinions and ideas.... is clamped down on .. where does it end.... SERIOUSLY!
the law aught to get there finger out there Ar** and actually deal with criminals instead of letting it run and run. bring back some corporal punishment... enforce some laws.. show authority.... sorry for taking this topic down a new road but ....
it really makes me sick .. to the core that .. there is law officers and officials.. taking star wars fans up to court for having a replica .. storm trooper blaster in there collections.. yet Paedophiles.... and the like in most cases get off scot free... and when they do get caught get the best treatment and the tax payers expense...... what's the world coming to .. what's the point in keeping these people.. murderers.. rapists.. absolute scum of the earth.... a 5p bullet in the back of the head and into a furnace with them is what I say .. or better still save the 5p bullet for fighting supposed wars... and throw them in alive !
I know this is a rather extreme view... but I am sick of all this human rights crap.. if you do something that break the law and takes away another persons rights.. your rights should be taken away .... that should be the rules.. you can only deal with extreme things by being even more extreme..
its time for the UK to adopt... some foreign laws and policies.... and maybe even grow a pair of balls and actually start to enforce and deal with real issues....
all of your politicians etc .... you see talking on TV and in the news etc .. they don't have a say or power over Jack sh** there just public speakers basically ... spokesmen... the real people who control and tell them what to say .. are never seen .. all governments from day one have been the same... no one man / woman has the power to say 'THATS FINAL' this is what's going to happen.. there is so many behind the scenes people.. it has to go through first ..
did you know a politician.. can claim .. money and privileges .. on top of there current over the top wage.. if they live more than 6 miles from there work place.. they can claim for mansions houses etc .. to let them live closer to there job location.. and who ends up paying for it in the end.... us the public.....
so who's the real criminals.. well just as bad...
I could go on and on with this.. and go into so many other issues and areas that I would love to discuss with you all.. but I only have so many decades left of life..
actually mick, i think the second home allowance is being done away with for favour of the 'attendance allowance', which basically means an MP can claim £25,000 just for turning up to work.
the rich get richer......
ps, i've forwarded on your rants to the police, so they can come round and push you over in such a way you die from internal bleeding.... ahem, sorry i meant to say 'so they can come round and police your area'.
in regards to the link Bondaholic posted about the drig dealer with the golden gun .. I dont understand ... what this is.. was it an air weapon sprayed Gold... or an actual SD golden Gun converted to fire rounds.. which would be almost imposible as the brass would not take the power of a bullet being fired..
in regards to the link Bondaholic posted about the drig dealer with the golden gun .. I dont understand ... what this is.. was it an air weapon sprayed Gold... or an actual SD golden Gun converted to fire rounds.. which would be almost imposible as the brass would not take the power of a bullet being fired.. yes she deserves everything she gets .. for dealing drugs... scum bag
the way i read it mick was it was a replica that could have been made to fire live ammunition.
as the article didn't state what material the gun was made from, but the offence was for the possiblilty of it being converted, i'd assume (woah, careful) that the replica in question was made of some kind of metal, as its golden, i'd guess brass.
firing live ammo through a brass gun however is near suicidal.
i'm not sure if the replica was an SD replica, but again mick, this all highlights the fact that you really really need to make sure you're not breaking any laws instead of assuming you'll be ok.
I am not making a golden gun now thats it ... just threw all the parts in the bin )
so what I am reading from this.. is that you need a fire arms certificate to own an SD Studios props replica Golden Gun now.. if thats what it in fact was ?
jeez that sort of puts a lot of you in a tuff spot then )
i'm only guessing it was an SD prop. i'd also guess that had the person been a law abiding citizen and not a drug dealer, the offence of having a replica that could be converted wouldn't even have been considered, and whats more, the person wouldn't have had their house raided.
