Gun-Formers (imitation weapons) laws and requirements for Australia

[Robzy]

it may not be a replica but it would most likely fall into the category of imitation firearms, which most states will have some regulations about the owning / importing

Do you need a firearms license to own Han Solo's gun? Or similar non-realistic looking or fictional guns?

You might need it in the case of Han Solo's gun since it's actually a real gun (the C96 Mauser) with a scope and barrel tip added on.

Would a different colour scheme prevent it from being classed as a imitation weapon?, like purple for green?

I know gold won't because there are gold plated guns in existence.

Please direct this type of questioning to the gun formers thread, thank you.

The pink rifle on the 2nd or 3rd page... imagine a pink redeco Megatron... for the girls of course.

So it possibly?

Speaking of redecos, since MP10 got a EVA Unit 01 colour scheme, I hope Megatron gets a EVA Unit 02 colour scheme. That way you could even justify something like an orange top barrel, because Unit 02's colour scheme is red, orange, white and black.

But I'll just be happy to get the normal version if I can only get one.
