Prop weapons are imitation weapons used in film, theater, and other performances to create realistic scenes without the dangers associated with real firearms or blades. These props can be made from various materials, such as plastic, rubber, or wood, and are designed to look authentic while ensuring the safety of actors and crew members. In addition to being safe, prop weapons often serve as important storytelling tools, helping to convey the character's intentions or the story's setting. They can include items like toy guns, fake swords, and replica firearms, all crafted to enhance the visual experience without posing a risk.
