Going the "as real as possible replica" route... be sure to treat/secure it exactly the same as you would a real firearm. Treating it casually as a "non firearm" and idle/curious hands don't mix. If used inappropriately, not many people on the other side of it are going to take the time to scrutinize it closely enough to realize it isn't actually a working firearm... before they act/shoot.Thanks, I think this is the closest I'm gonna be able to get to what I'm looking for. Looking at reviews, some Denix models will do basically everything except fully load and eject a cartridge. Not ideal but probably good enough.
