Latest update on the amnesty for Bruni replicas.
Following on from the news last year that the police have now classified some of the Bruni blank firing replicas as readily convertible fi****ms and are therefore now illegal to own. The government has announced an amnesty will run from Monday, February 2, to Friday, February 27 2026. Between these dates, you can hand in your replica at any Police station without prosecution. After February 27th, if you own one of the models listed below, you may face prosecution.
The affected models are:
• Bruni 8mm Model 92 (C**t 45) pistol
• Bruni 8mm New Police (PPK) pistol
• Bruni 8mm Model 96 pistol
• Bruni 8mm Model ‘GAP’ (G***k) pistol
