Big Bad Hypocrisy Store?

BBTS can peddle these to unsuspecting minors without so much as an orange tip, but MP-05 Megatron, who is too large to be mistaken for a real pistol in gun mode and resembles nothing of the sort in robot mode mandates such an addition?

Yes, I am aware the community contains nuts.

I doubt a minor could order from an online store. Plus I'm not to sure any parent would buy there child a Master Replica Gunblade as the have a real edge on them. Also Vincents gun has three Barrles.

But alas, I do see your point.

They're 1/6th scale. You wouldn't even be able to fit your finger in the trigger guard.

It also says they're 6" long (15 cm in most other listings I've seen them in) so I'm assuming that's an error. I could see a 1/6 sniper rifle being 6" long but a handgun with a 3' long barrel would look more like what the Joker pulled from his trousers in Tim Burton's Batman.

Somehow, I'd rather not hear the details.

I don't see what the problem is. Most stores that I have seen are getting MP-05 with the orange tip.

Considering it's a replica, that means that it's not a toy and, therefore, toy laws and regulations do not apply to it.

A replica is a display piece like a statue or a bust. You're not supposed to play with it.
