How can you paint a real firearm with orange paint and make it transparent orange?

Do they have to be transparent now...?

The ones I have seen look rather like this...

Perhaps gold instead of orange?

Perfect! 

When I worked in a pub many, many years ago, one of the customers was a policemen that used to regale us with amusing anecdotes of his working life...

...once he was telling us about a court appearance when the defendants were accused of armed robbery at a post office... apparently during the apprehension of the aforementioned defendants he had called them 'cunts'....

The defending barrister was asking why he had called his clients 'cunts' to which he allegedly replied: -

"Anybody that steals a matched pair of Purdy shotguns worth £100,000 and then saws the barrels off to use them to steal £300 from a post office is a cunt in my opinion"

Well they do all seem to be transparent. Not sure I can be arsed to google the Toy Guns Act 200whatever but I reckon it says they have to be more different than that ^ and a Glock dipped in paint

Here you go, I googled that for you! 

3.2 The previous codes of practice for toy firearms specified a bright orange or red plug. The Violent Crime Reduction Act (together with the Violent Crime Reduction Act (Realistic Imitation Firearms) Regulations 2007) requires that further measures must be taken to enable imitation firearms to be distinguished from real firearms. 

Therefore a toy firearm may either: -

3.2.1     be constructed entirely of transparent  materials which permit unmistakable observation of the complete contents of the device, or 

3.2.2     be coloured in bright red, bright orange, bright yellow, bright green, bright blue, bright pink or bright purple either singly or as the principal colour in combination with the other colours in any pattern, or

3.2.3     be a miniature toy firearm – that is to say less than 38mm in height and 70mm in length, (excluding any gun stock measurement).

3.2.4     be a toy firearm the appearance of which would tend to identify it as having a design and mechanism of a sort first dating from before the year 1870.

3.2.5     be clearly identifiable as a toy by its general appearance or shape not having similarities with real firearms e.g. futuristic weapons, “ray guns” and similar. 

So yeah, a Glock and tin of orange paint would suffice....

Well in that case when I wrote:

. .  So sorry but orange barrels are fine by me.

please read it to mean:  So sorry but orange translucent or transparent barrels are fine by me.

In order to fully comply with:

3.1 A toy firearm shall be distinguishable from a real firearm or a realistic imitation firearm as defined above.

And would that really affect kids playing gun games?  I have no idea


I did look at the Cyprus deaths by firearms stats     linkythingy

I'm surprised that yellow is still on the the list considering
