Damn! You sound like my kinda fan, though! I imagine you're from somewhere other than the USA.

There's always the option of getting some dummy rounds and painting them to look real. But then, you'd need a lot of them, I think they cost prohibative, and you might not be able to get them in your country anyways.

Seems like us Mad Max fans can't stay clean with the law. See: The Texas Twelve, my run-in with the Sherrifs over the Humungus Machine bodies, and any replica owner who has ever tried driving in Oz. I guess we're a dirty, rotten bunch!

I actually bought a bunch of inert 303 rounds from a guy in the US a few months ago. That would be a good way to go if you could do that.
Are you going to add the round brass buckle to the belt as well?

its true you cant stay on the right side of the law and be a mad max fan these days. they took my dummy prop sawn off shotgun that had no trigger or mechanism and was made from wood, perspex and copper pipe. said i was obviously planning to rob a bank. also any knives/ swords clubs id made were siezed, apparently its an offense called "manufacturing offensive weapons" and theyre going to try and charge me with it. id made one spiked club, maybe 8 truncheons, 2 knives and one knuckleduster (okay so i knew the knuck was abit naughty) i live in the uk and the laws over here are ridiculous, if i was to wear a dummy shotgun in the street id most likely be shot. i think the law says the prop would have to be sprayed entirely bright yellow. if i wear this bullet belt or a holster, chances are police will stop and search me. anyway, rant over.. no im not adding the brass buckle to this belt as it had two buckles already which would have been to difficult to remove and then id have had to extend the other side of the belt aswell. i am planning to put a brass buckle on the belt that comes with the braces tho, even tho this will be innacurate as its the lower of the two belts

Nice work Road Pig. Great use of found/modified junk and everything has a great wasteland wear and tear look to it.
