An accessory designed to hold a toy firearm, typically constructed of synthetic materials like plastic or nylon, and intended for use as part of a Halloween costume. These items are generally sold at seasonal retail outlets specializing in costumes and related paraphernalia.
These costume accessories contribute to the overall realism and completeness of certain character portrayals, particularly those depicting law enforcement, military personnel, or characters from Western films. Their availability offers consumers a convenient means of enhancing their chosen costume theme; however, this can contribute to debates surrounding the representation of weapons in popular culture, and raise the potential for misuse and societal sensitivity.
