no worries, imitation firearm. i wonder what it was.  it could have been a finger in his pocket. i gave an extreme example. if its the same charge no matter what then maybe someone could design a weapon that skirts those legalities.  something to look up, at what point does a firearm become imitation? after 12 ft/lb as a rifle or 6 ft/lb as a pistol.  something to look into.
