    You’re not entirely wrong, since in theory these guns can fire and can kill.

    However, it should be noted that it’s very dangerous to carry a gun that you can’t or won’t fire, for the purpose of brandishing it. If you encounter someone else that has a gun, brandishing a gun yourself is likely to prompt them to shoot you (and gives them legal cover), when they might not have otherwise done so.
