IMPS and MVT are not Historical re-enactment groups under the VCR.If you have a blank firing device, that does not get covered by VCR regardless of shape. If you want a de-ac that is not covered by VCR, if you want a plastic toy cap gun that looks realistic! Then it either has to be couloured like a phycotic chamelion or you have to be exempted VCR! So carve it out of wood? No, that is covered by VCR. Get an air weapon? There are a lot of copies of WW2 guns that are air guns! And you DON'T need a VCR exemption. Don't feel happy spreading lead about the countryside? So get a nice little airsoft BB gun! You can use enviromentally clay pellets that melt away and won't kill the local wildlife! Guess what? You can get one that is the chamelon offshoot and shoot at things like bus drivers, but if it is properly coloured, VCR! If you can work out the point of the whole *** mess. Run for Parliment!
