What an awesome build! I'd also just ignore all the knobhead Americans complaining about it not being real. It's clearly a prop. At least I understand, (I'm Aussie) why prop guns are useful. This probably costed under $50 and a REALSTEAL version would cost about $5000. Anyhow, keep up the great work and don't let those noodles stop you.
You can buy them separately as well and they are not too expensive if you are not lucky enough to have a broken one. Or perhaps that is unlucky when your vacuum breaks.
I bought them on a local market stall, but you can also find them on eBay etc. The new ones are expensive but there are often 2nd hand ones or even complete vacuum cleaners being sold for parts.
