You still would have needed to pull the rifle away from the background if you were using green. It might reflect green onto the rifle itself and then you run into the problem of accidentally removing part of the gun, or have a green edge to the gun.
Either way, if you want a sold color background, you want to move the gun away from it.

I agree, fishing line (or similar) to hang the item is probably the best. If your issue with that voodoo_man is the line showing up, you may need to remove it in Photoshop. You also need a pretty strong setup to support the rifle. I have a real cheap backdrop stand set, and I could never support something as heavy as a rifle with it. If you have overhead rafter, you could hang it from that. Otherwise, children work.
If you're taking a photo of a rifle, but won't be getting the ends in the shot, you can raise it up with boxes.

Bingo. That's what I used. I had to use heavy-duty 20lb line. The lesser stuff kept breaking. Also a good idea to tie off at least 3 points to keep the gun still. I used 2 and it worked but was not optimal.
Use the Spot Healing Brush in Photoshop to easily remove the lines.

So I picked up some really thing 4lb fishing line, did the suspension thing on a white background and on green. Here are my results (did both black and white backgrounds for comparison of result)
One thing I couldn't get the white outline on the Glock to disappear on the black background. I also had trouble with the green background not reflecting onto the edges. I think I needed more light than I used (two stationary and a flash) Suggestions?
Opinions?
