It is in Germany not allowed to wear a weapon public - not even a dummy weapon that just looks like!

Our weapons we had with us are "just" firing blanks - same as in use for film and theater. The parts and measurements are all the same. All the equipment (bajonett, sling, magazines, bfa) will fit to it. But you can´t fire live ammo! I have a M16A1, H&K G3 and had that UZI, a Beretta 92F, Walter PPK, and H&K P7

Man that is quite a collection of firearms!!!!

Also, are they the real guns with a barrel plug that makes it not be able to shoot live ammo? If that's the case I think there is a mad you could do....

Great photos! The picture at the top of Page 2 reminds me of the original 'Ghost Recon' game.

Yea, but all the mags are M.T. Us Americans and you Nato Chaps use M855 Ball now. Those 20 rd. mags are somewhat valuable. I'd try to unload them on Ebay or , better, GB.
