are you talking like .177mm metal bb's like an airgun, or 6mm bb's like airsoft?
at one point, there was a custom manufacturer of airsoft guns that made some replicas, but they have since been discontinued. it was more of a private project. as for regular bb guns you are out of luck. most of those are built after real steel manufactured weapons. you wont find many movie prop versions at all.
-at last check, some people on this forum were planning or were in the process of building their own. other than that, the closest thing you can get is a beretta 92 with a profile compensator for airsoft. the spring ones are 20 something dollars, while the gas ones are closer to 170 (damn you western arms).
-good luck

Despite what certain game modders might tell you, there is no official airsoft or other replica available. The only commercially available guns were made by www.area51airsoft.com and as has been said, these were discontinued after circa 40 guns as it was done as a personal interest project by the company owner/manager. Last month they decided to release 10 more of these in the 1 inch longer upgraded version, of which mine (still to be delivered) will be a specially requested 'standard length' version. So unless they have one of these still going (and we're talking £350 due to the custom machining involved) you're out of luck. There was a guy on Ebay selling an aluminium kit, but this was pretty inaccurate, resembling some of the photoshopped likenesses seen on this site. There are a couple of guys who have made resin casts of their homemade versions. I made my own, and it's pretty good if I say so myself, but it took about 78 man-hours to make and as of now won't shoot properly because I misaligned the muzzle weight with the barrel (needs boring out but I can't be bothered at the moment!) That's the situation as it stands. Consider the Western Arms Blademaster III (google it for retailers) as a near-lookalike, or one of their full-auto SV Infinity Prokiller models for the feel of a full-auto long-barrelled muzzle-weighted blowback. The Prokillers are much closer to Dante's guns from Devil May Cry (being Colt 1911 based) but you could buy two of them with full-metal upgrades (albeit used) for what I'm paying to get a Cleric Beretta!
