Don't be fooled - EVERY item on this page is a FAKE!!!

Hard Replicas are generally used in place of the original where exisitng numbers may be limited, and in order to avoid damage or loss of often rare and irreplaceable objects. Numbers also produced for extras/stuntmen/actors to perform fight scenes where real weapons or objects could cause injury. Particularly useful for export of weapons to avoid problems with customs.
