If I need to explain, you'll never understand.
I don't know that I've ever been to a museum at which the weapons weren't rendered inoperable, and I've just always assumed that all were somehow incapacitated as part of safety/insurance regulations.

I do see a difference between museum relics, that people may handle/have access to, and reenactment gear. Being unable to reenact with blanks is pretty lame--what're they gonna do, yell "BANG!!! I JUST SHOT YOU!!!"
