So the police can tell if it’s real or not! No, this is not the case. As if they could use a disabled firearm or a realistic airgun. Since real firearms can legally be painted any color, you should always treat the incident as if it were a real firearm.
Can a real gun have an orange tip?
This weapon is fake. Federal law requires toy or imitation guns to be sold with orange tips on the barrels, but the tips may be removed or painted.
Is it illegal to paint the tip orange?
No, it is not illegal to remove the flaming orange tip from items where it was originally required by federal regulations. It may be highly inappropriate or even illegal for a seller to paint/remove the orange tip, but not if you (the end user) own a replica airsoft.
Is it illegal to paint the tip of a Nerf gun orange?
Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT a federal law that you must have an orange tip on your gun as long as it uses compressed air to eject the projectile (whether a system piston or HPA, it doesn’t matter.). You will need an Orange Tip to buy, sell or transport (only across state lines?) the Fake Firearm 3.)
