what is a replica gun

A replica gun is an object designed to resemble a gun but which is incapable, even with modification, of expelling or launching a shot, bullet. Replica firearms are not defined as dangerous weapons and are facsimiles or toy versions of firearms that reasonably appear to be pistols, revolvers, shotguns, sawed-off shotguns, rifles, machine guns, rocket launchers, or any other firearm. Replica firearms can be made of plastic, wood, metal, or any other material that a person could reasonably perceive as an actual firearm. Replica firearms can look very real, depending on modifications, and unlike real firearms, people dont need a Possession and Acquisition License for them. Replica guns are not toys and are intended for stationary displays only. They should never be carried in public settings, including the highly realistic-looking versions. Prop guns are a type of replica gun that is used primarily by movie and television productions or in theatre performances. As a prop, these guns can be divided into non-firing guns (replicas) and firing guns (firearms) .
