Why are rubber weapons are used in the first place instead of real ones? Rubber weapons are used for action scenes in movies or theatrical shows so the actor doesn’t get hurt during combat scenes. As the video below show a documentary of Jurassic World and their props. The actor Chris Pratt had a real weapon and a rubber one. Simulating his action scenes with a fake weapon. Rubber weapons are lighter and less dangerous to use then metal ones, causing less accidents and making a safer work place.

Now you might be asking, how do I make a rubber weapon so I can film action scenes safely?
