Odd that so much concern is expressed over a fake gun ("phenomenon escalating", "EXTREMELY") in a document on disguised weapons. I suppose it's really a disguised club.

INCREDIBLY REALISTIC REPLICA WEAPONS:

During the months of October and November of 2002
several incidents were covered by the police in Brunswick (Maine)
where replica handguns were found either on a suspect or in their
vehicles or residences. (In two of these cases the suspects

November had the same characteristics AND WEIGHT of a
real weapon and the only way an untrained eye
could tell the difference would be to look down the barrel.

The replica they show when talking about the Glock is awfully damn close. The only thing I see thats not right is the barrel isn't protruding from the slide the 1/8th in or so. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be looking at that if someone pulled one on me.
