(a) an imitation firearm that is an imitation of a pistol is taken to be a pistol, and
(b) an imitation firearm that is an imitation of a prohibited firearm is taken to be a prohibited firearm.
(3) In this section, imitation firearm means an object that, regardless of its colour, weight or composition or the presence or absence of any moveable parts, substantially duplicates in appearance a firearm but that is not a firearm.

It will be interesting to see how this is ultimately classified.
yeah NSW would be diff as even props etc that resembled a firearms falls into the imitation category per point 3 above

even tho mp36 is not an exact replica of a real world pistol, at first glance by anyone they would say hey its a gun/pistol which pretty much guarantees its imitation status
