Thirdly, the same applies to antique weapons. The Offensive Weapons Act 2019 included a revision to the flick-knife definition, which had inadvertently included 18th-century and 19th-century flintlock and percussion firearms with spring-operated bayonets. These items are exempt from firearms legislation and have not been involved in acts of violence for a couple of centuries now. They should not be prohibited merely because they also have the flick-knife mechanism blade. They are not very practical street weapons of the modern era.
