Aren't these illegal?

I was hanging around at Amcorp Mall one Sunday afternoon and saw this one particular stall selling various toys and models. Among the items displayed included two airsoft pistols.


Aren't airsoft pistols illegal in Malaysia? Although they were smaller than the actual pistols, these airsoft pistols were made with metal (zinc alloy, according to the box) and looked realistic enough.

Aside from these dangerous "toys", the stall also has a gas-powered, airsoft MP5K submachine gun hidden at the back, also available for sale.
 Two high school students were there at the time and bought the G2 pistol for RM80. They would probably buy the MP5K if it wasn't for its RM1,000 price tag.

I wonder if the Amcorp Mall's management office should ban that stall from selling these. Even if it's legal, I don't think these should be sold to non-adults.
