Do replica guns have any moving/functioning parts?
Yes. Our replica guns have all or most of the same moving parts as the originals. They can be cocked and the triggers pulled, activating the “firing” mechanisms. Some models–like the German P08–have functional slide loading mechanisms and multi-round clips that can be inserted and ejected. Denix replica revolvers have cylinders that rotate and/or swing out, just as the real version of the firearm model. As an example, the Denix replica AK47 assault rifles have the same moving parts as a real one, and can even be “taken down” or “field stripped” for cleaning. Our John Bianchi “Dry Fire” replicas are made of case hardened steel and are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Made at the Pietta factory in Italy, they use the same precision machined steel parts and forgings used to make their world-famous live fire single action revolvers. Though classified as non-guns by the ATF, they can be disassembled, cleaned, etc., making them excellent for re-enactors, collectors, theatri
