Nice write up on NewRuleFX. (Interesting that it came from the BBC).
I’ve purchased a couple of their foam weapon props. Well done- no mold bubbles or other problems. Both the pistol and shotgun prop are very soft. I’ve already used the pistol on a high-profile project for a stunt hit.
I can recommend them without hesitation.
