Replicas
of Antique Firearms
Although replica firearms are made to look like
the original, they are distinct from reproductions
or antiques. Replicas look the same, but are different
because they cannot discharge projectiles at all,
or can discharge only harmless projectiles. (Devices
that discharge projectiles that can cause serious
bodily injury are not replicas). |
