As an officer of the law, I think a 15 year old with a gun that looks that real and makes a load noise (which is like a gunshot) is a diaster waiting to happen. Many cops have shot people waiving fake guns around. I personally do not want to be in that position, sooo my advice is no way. I remember how dumb I was at 15.
Example of how idiotic people can be...
A friend of mine got a call of some guy walking down the street with a gun. My friend pulls up, sees the guy and orders him (at gun point) to drop it. The hero of our story points the gun in the air and pulls the trigger and the gun goes bang. My friend said he almost shot the guy. Gun turns out to be a cap gun. The guy said "Gee officer, I was trying to show you it wasn't real...." This was an adult.
