Brian there is one thing missing - it also must not be able to cause serious bodily harm to be considered a replica, thus replica pellet guns, like Umarex pistols, are perfectly fine (infact I have a couple), even though under 500fps/5.7fpe (or 4.3fpe? not sure of the exact number).
Some airsoft guns can do a reasonable amount of "harm" when compared to some airguns, so technically its a gray area as I see it.
Cheers,
Alex
