UNREALISTIC imitation firearms (defined in law as being more than 50% coloured bright red, bright orange, bright yellow, bright green, bright pink or bright purple) can be bought, sold, manufactured and imported freely and LEGALLY by anyone over 18.

It is ILLEGAL to sell (note - not buy), manufacture and import REALISTIC imitation firearms (defined as anything which looks like a gun and not just replicas of real guns) unless you fit one of a small set of criteria. Legitimate film-makers, registered re-enactors and legitimate airsoft skirmishers are all allowed to sell, manufacture and import realistic imitations providing they can prove their status.

There's a post credits bit in Aliens?
