Clearly toy guns. Gun-like, but nobody with the slightest understanding of guns would think they were real. I have no problem with kids having toy guns. I do have a problem with kids in public having realistic replica guns. Bright orange isn't enough.

I think the answer is that other than in organized events realistic replicas should be subject to the same restrictions on actions that real guns are.
