Fake firearms are life-threatening
Fake firearms that look like real firearms are prohibited in the Netherlands. Possession of a fake weapon is punishable by law. If a fake firearm cannot be distinguished from a real firearm, officers always act as if it is a real firearm. This can lead to life-threatening situations; in such cases, officers may have to draw their weapons or even shoot. Therefore, possessing a fake firearm is life-threatening.
