Are these legal or not (England)? I'm talking REALLY realistic replicas, that do everything except the ability to fire live rounds.

I've read that there are new laws (dating from 2006-2008) that disallow anyone to own them or sell them:

In the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006, it says manufacturing/selling them is illegal but I can't find anything about owning them (but if I buy one do I break the law?):

Help meeeeeeee. I would like to start collecting, I wouldn't be using them in public or anything.
