Prohibitions on handguns in particular have led some parties to devise new means to acquire these or comparable firearms. One common method involves mechanically altering an accessible replica firearm to function in a similar way as a restricted firearm. This process is generally known as a firearms conversion, and has been observed worldwide. This Issue Brief offers an overview of illicit firearms conversion Notes "February 2015."
