Hello!

I'm cosplaying Masaoka Tomomi from Psycho-Pass this year, and I was wondering a couple things about the Dominator gun I'm tentatively planning to build. (http://cosplayruinedmylife.tumblr.com/post/40942123668/basic-craft-foam-psycho-pass-dominator-tutorial, for a basic idea of what it'll be like)

First (kinda basic), is this gun too realistic?  It doesn't seem like it, especially if I paint the tip bright orange (would cyan work, though?  It'd clash less)...
And second... I think this is the more important one... the character doesn't actually use a holster, he either carries around the Dominator in his hand (that'd probably be classified as 'brandishing' it, even if it's pointed downwards, huh...) or else he just kinda... sticks it in the inside of his trenchcoat.  (I could probably do the outside pocket though, where the grip and part of the prop would definitely show, and that might be kind of like a holster, for the purposes of cosplay, right?) That's something that seems like it might be a real problem, though...  I haven't started making the Dominator yet and I don't want to if it looks like carrying it might not be allowed, or be a huge hassle to deal with in making it 'safe'.

Are there any other issues with it that you can foresee?

Anyway, thanks!

Hello, I'm cosplaying Uryuu Ryuunosuke from Fate/Zero, and I have four questions:

I am wearing two chains attached to the front and back pockets of my pants.  They are sewn on well and I couldn't remove them if I wanted to.  They are light and thin; however, they are made of metal.  They do not catch on anything as I walk, and most of the chains themselves are hidden under my shirt, which is long.  Are these acceptable to wear? 
Second, I have a metal bangle bracelet.  It is light and the edges are round.  Is this acceptable?
Third (and this is probably a no-brainer), I have a prop scalpel made out of a pencil and plastic.  It is all silver.  It's very small, as props go, but this probably needs to be peace-bonded, right?
Last, I am going to be carrying around a plushie of Caster (also from Fate/Zero).  He is not part of my costume per se, but he relates to it somewhat and I'd probably be bringing him along even if I weren't cosplaying.  Does this count as a prop, or could it be just something I'm carrying around?  If it counts as a prop, do I need to get him peace-bonded?  I'm not sure there is any spot on the plushie where it could be peace-bonded well.

Thank you for your time.  This is my first convention and first cosplay, so sorry if the answers to these seem obvious.
