A hobby that was fashionable a few years ago is currently experiencing a resurgence: gun collecting. However, current legislation does not permit collecting firearms in the same way as before, but it does allow the collection of blank-firing guns and deactivated firearms. Any of these weapons can be sold freely to minors and can be sold in any sporting goods store, without needing to be a licensed gun shop. These pistols can be found directly online with a click, in stores like... blank-firing pistols.es, specific to replicas of deactivated weapons.
Demand is constantly increasing, and that's because... hobby of collecting weapons It's becoming fashionable mainly because:
- The films: Every time a James Bond film is released on television, sales of replicas of the Walther PPk, the famous pistol of spy 007, increase. The variety of pistols we see in the films encourages us to collect them.
- The games: Above all, wargames make us love this hobby even more. The most popular games are gun games, and after so much time wielding one of those pistols, we'd love to have it in our collection.
