Advice: Smuggling firearms

[Tonguez]

So how would you get a gun/knife through customs?

Don't wory its for Spycraft not real life

 

[Dr Midnight]

Completely disassemble it, and somehow creatively coordinate the pieces with other parts of luggage? For example, you could turn parts of the casing into extraneous hinge pieces for the suitcase, integrate parts into the interior of an electric shaver...

For a knife, I dunno.

Make it out of something that is less easily detected.
And then hire a hot woman with a lot of cleavage and a short skirt to go through security at the same time as I do.

Crafty Yaun-Ti. Maybe too crafty...

Stick it in a lead lined box and mail it to your destination.

Forget taking a gun with you and just buy one off the gray market at your destination when you have a free moment.

Charter a private jet, anybody rich enough to afford his own jet can't be up to anything illegal.

Forge a pass saying that you're a policemanand that you have permission to have a gun.

Beat up an air marshall and take his uniform and pretend to be him.

Avoid customs by walking/sailing/sneaking across the boarder.

You can tuck a "CIA letter opener" in your sock. It's a "knife" made of fiberglass reinforced nylon, totally undetectable as it contains zero metal. It is very tough and will hold a decent edge. There are few variations out there like the "delta dart", same concept but a triangular blade (more like a spike). I have both and they're great weapons.....for Spycraft, of course.

The same goes for pistols. A company recently (within the past 8 years) made 9mm out of ballistic plastic where the only metal was in the firing pin... I've heard talk of ceramic 9mms as well but haven't seen them.

The good about the plastic gun: All you need to do is smuggle in in peices amongst other inocouis junk, then assemble it and buy ammo... The bad it wears out faster as the plastic doesn't hold up to the explosive gases and the heat as well as metal (okay they have a live expetancy of around a year and half with daily firing... but you could easily reduce that and start giving penalties to the ranged shots...)

The ceramic gun: Agian this is only speculative as I haven't seen one (and really stopped being into guns about 6 years ago). It should last almost as long as a regular gun. The bad: Easier to detect using x-rays...

I hope you're not suggesting that one could just go out and purchase a gun in a place where guns are banned.

That's the point of gun control bans, after all. You just legislate the guns out of existence. Poof! No more guns! No more crime!

Errr... uhh...

ACTION DICE!

with a knife, I would get a porcelain one- used mainly or cutting cakes and such- but hey- anything sharp and pointy would work for a knife- even a letter opener, or nail clipper... or you name it

as for gun... just unplug the metal detector before yuo pass by. Its funny because after teh 911 incident, these things plagued LAX- and the funny thing is- nobody noticed that the red light was flashing (flashes when unplugged)

and yes- hiring a hot blonde will work too...but then again most customs agents are big ogrish females...but then again again- they might swing that way.

Or you could do what that disabled guy did in Aliens 4: Ressurection and make the gun pieces look like parts of your wheelchair.

(I swear, I think I'm the only guy who liked that movie)
