Thank God for that. The thought of Martin dressed as a gansters mol makes me feel quite strange.
To be slightly more serious, are you aware that this is illegal? Under the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006, A person is guilty of an offence if: he manufactures a realistic imitation firearm;......etc

Perhaps you should consider being a mol after all! Don't forget to post the pictures for us all.

Seen it done. You need to use a round drum magazine (so a pre-war Thompson, not a WW2 M1), and for the violin case you need a "barn top" case with a matching "roof" on the back of the case too, so as to fit the magazine's width in. You also need to beef up the handle and move it to the CoG - it's a _lot_ heavier than a violin.
I doubt if anyone has ever passed as a musician by carrying such a thing. However everyone who does own a Thompson does consider doing it at least once...
That act just about covers every toy gun sold to kids every where.
No, every toy gun sold to kids _today_ will have a birght orange muzzle cap.
This is now illegal though:
