Well, almost:

http://larpsupply.com/_wsn/page5.html

A bit of modification using some of the decoration on old Denix guns, and you could have LRP-safe, shooting flintlocks...

Be a bit of a pain to go round later & pick up all the foam ball litter, but it could be done.

Vacuum cleaner. Some of the crew could then go through and count out the foam balls, repackage them, and sell them in bags of 50 for a few quid instead of the $15 that the website charges. Players get cheap second-hand foam balls, the game gets a bit more income, and anyone who objects to paying for getting 'their' balls back can always pick them up before the end of the event and the arrival of the vacuum cleaner.
Just off the top of my head.

Damm - and it just missed being incorporated into the third edition PD rulebook

PD Head Ref- but as all posts here count as being unofficial, you'll need to email rules@PD for the real deal.

And in those oh so rare moments of going IC: Detric of the Bespoke Atelier (and your host for the erotic performance show)

Cool link.

Been discussing building these sorts of things on RPGnet:  http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=315107

One guy there suggests using foam golf balls, which seems like a sensible way to get a standard size and supply.
