Yep.
There are replicas which are working copies of firearms, designed to be working copies. Like making a copy of an old rifle which isn't made any more. Just a regular rifle really...
Or...
Sometimes to make 'imitation firearms' they break down an actual working firearm and mould and cast every piece and from the pieces reassemble what is then a technically functioning firearm, except... If they've cast it out of weak metals because its only intended to be an imitation, even though it could physically fire a cartridge, it would probably just blow up in the process.
Still a "replica" though because it could actually fire a round.
