“Federal law requires replica guns to have an orange tip”

That has to be on manufacturer and retail sales for new units only. There are plenty of “airsoft” stores selling 2nd hand units that look like the real deal.

Airsoft has become the generic term for electric gun shooting plastic bb.

In searching articles I found conflicting info on which "toy" guns are required to have orange tips and which are not. Some say that BB guns and real pellet guns (that fire lead pellets) do not. Here is one that definitely does not have one.

AK-47 air rifle (.177 CyberGun)
