Bruni Olympic .380 BBM
The Bruni Olympic .380 BBM is a blank firing revolver. It is banned in the UK as being "readily convertible" into a live-firing gun.[1][2]
UK ban
The gun was banned on 4 June 2010 in the UK. Increasing use of converted guns had led to the re-assessment of its categorisation as "not readily converted" to "readily converted", resulting in it becoming a prohibited weapon under section five of the Firearms Act 1968.[3] A short amnesty between 14 April and 4 June was held in Dorset.[4]
