Because everyone knows replicas are FAR more dangerous then semi-automatic rifle. I hate the Dutch 'we know what's good for you' mentality.

If you have a gun to your head, do you check it is a real gun? If not, I guess you have your answer as to why replicas are banned, while you can still get a real rifle (with great effort and very much under control).

Seems logical to me, no?

Not to mention that people trying to use old black powder muskets and so on have a tendancy to hurt themselves (even those trained in black powder have accidents) while self contained cartridges are safer.

There is something to say for banning replica's, guns are dangerous in the wrong hands and they look a little bit too real for comfort. But a few muskets, only an idiot would take a shot with these they are 300 years old. Nono can't have them. Police is going to be very angry if they come here.

edit: LOL people still shoot them? These things are expensive youknow

No frag they make modern day blackpowder rifles still. I have hunted with one before they have a bit of a kick there are seasons just for them

Bit of a kick, I believe you, looks even meaner than a Barret-round http://www.corbins.com/images/gatl-7a.jpg

That seems to be a 30mm round or so, hardly from something you hold with your hands when you fire it.

My replica muzzle loader is .58 caliber which was about average for it's target period. Guess the idea was if you're only firing a shot every minute or so it better do something worth all the time loading.
