Gun replicas include both long and short firearms, as well as tasers. At first glance, you will definitely notice the difference between the sharp weapon and the replica – the replica is red, like all training replicas of weapons. This is a custom – the red color will let everyone involved know right away that this weapon is not going to hurt anyone.

Still, such replicas are a great way to practice handling, transporting, and storing weapons and ensure proper presentation without putting anyone at risk. The so-called Red Guns, as one of their leading manufacturers, the American company ASP, calls such models, can be used in police and military briefings for novices or the public.

It is, to a certain extent, about the prevention of injuries that could be caused by novices, but also by the instructors themselves, by careless handling of a sharp weapon. Sometimes it is caused by the human factor, sometimes the weapon simply fails, despite the fact that it has worked for years without a single error. Additionally, the gun replicas make it more likely that novices won't be deterred by the first failure.

In addition, the exact copies of weapons are compatible with the holsters for the sharp variants of the weapons, so among other things you can practice drawing in a safe way. But you can also try to defend yourself against an attacker equipped with a weapon, without endangering extras, either on one side or the other. In short, Red Guns have the same appearance and handling characteristics as sharp variants, but in a completely safe form.

As far as materials are concerned, polymers are abundantly represented here, sometimes even in a patented form, designed exactly for this type of use. These polymers may have internal steel reinforcement. And if they are mock-up firearms, they often have removable magazines, which means that they can also be used for training on rapid and operative reloading in various conditions.

In addition, the red color used in Red Guns is not sprayed, but pressed, which means that it is more stable and will not fade or fade even during prolonged use. In short, lightweight and durable equipment for training centers of armed forces and demonstrations in front of the public is designed to faithfully simulate a sharp weapon and at the same time last a really long time even when used in more demanding conditions.
