A money gun is a battery-powered device that rapidly fans out and launches individual notes, creating the "make it rain" effect popular in music videos, TikTok content, birthday celebrations, and bachelor or bachelorette parties. It loads a stack of same-size notes and fires them a few at a time with a motorised fan mechanism.
The device itself is reusable — what actually gets "spent" each use is the refill pack of notes loaded into it. Using genuine currency in a money gun is both impractical (the notes get scattered, creased, and often damaged) and unnecessary, since the visual effect works identically with prop notes.
Sizing matters more than most buyers expect: money guns are built around a specific note size, so a refill pack should be sized to match standard note dimensions rather than assuming "any prop money" will feed through smoothly.
Our Money Gun Refill Pack uses $50-style prop notes sized for standard money guns, and the Money Gun (Device, Refillable) is sold separately so you can restock refills as needed rather than buying a new device each time.
For content creators specifically, a money gun loaded with clearly-marked prop notes is one of the most reliable ways to get a big, high-energy visual moment without needing an enormous stack of cash sitting in frame the whole time.
Frequently asked
Can I put real money in a money gun?
Technically, but it's impractical and risks damaging or losing notes — prop refills are the standard choice for this exact reason.
Do all money guns use the same size notes?
Most standard money guns are built for a common note size — check your device's specifications before buying refills.
