customs seized my E11

[major payne]

Although it will be some time before I actually place my order, I was looking at an interstate rather than overseas supplier for my EE-3 blaster. Is there anything special I need to consider / do prior to ordering it? Basically, is there anything I should do prior to ordering a weapon replica across Australian state borders?

No dramas shipping within Australia. It's our international border protection you have to overcome.

Okay. So they draw a line between an e11 that's made of resin vs one that's got metal parts?

I thought anything that looks like a gun is treated as such.

Unfortunately the one I want has some real parts. I see why mine is a so problematic but don't see why these others are so easy.

A few Redbacks a little while ago, procured parts for Aliens Pulse Rifles, which a Tommy Gun is the base of. A certain un-named Redback imported 3 aluminium resin casts of the receiver, and firing mechanism of a Tommy Gun. He had the permits, the items were seized, and he was brought into an interrogation room, and grilled as to why he was importing machine gun parts. Lucky for him, he has a weapons licence, and can import such things. But in all honesty, the parts are harmless anyway, but to the untrained eye, they could think they were real parts...
