Fuchs and Kiwigrunt:
I think you guys are speaking of what are known as airsoft guns here in the US.

Many are made to look exactly like the real thing. They shoot, I believe little plastic pellets or BBs.
The only time I ever ran into them as an officer was when hoods would buy them in order to frighten other people without the danger of being charged with felon in possession of a gun.
They are basically adult toys that people use to shoot up (dent at best) tin cans in the basement.
Kiwigrunt:
Whatever controls you put on weapons will only be complied with by law abiding people. Hoods would not bother getting licensed.
