    yeah working trigger, revolving cylinder. they are full metal (except the handles) heavy replicas. two of the guns come with dummy, copper bullets you can load them with. build quality is top notch.

    For the benefit of everyone here is how it stands.
    • Realistic imitation/replica firearms do not need to be licensed. Realistic imitation firearm such as airsoft must be under one joule otherwise they are classed as firearms.
    • In this case the items are replicas in every sense of the word. They are made of "non firearm" metals, and have never been able to fire a projectile. They are 100% legal to own and no license is required.
    • Deactivated firearms are a different story. They do not require a license, but DO need authorisation in the form of written consent from your local Super to own/possess one. In such circumstances the Super may even ask for a letter from whomever carried out the de-activation work that the firearm has been suitably deactivated and can never again be capable of firing a bullet/projectile.

    The only real legal issue with the replicas above would carrying one. It is an offence to brandish one, and carry one in public. Also the fake ammo. While the chances of being prosecuted are so very, very slim it is still worth noting that having the ammo in your possession could lead to grief if stopped/caught. So make sure not to carry either the gun or "ammo" in public.
