Is it forbidden to show an airsoft gun in the stream on Twitch? Once someone was banned because he showed a real weapon and Airsoft looks very real.

In the https://www.twitch.tv/...uidelines/ is on the subject of weapons:

Use of weapons to physically threaten, intimidate, injure or kill others

I couldn't find anything else on the subject. Since guns are apparently not generally prohibited, I assume that the streamer has either violated one of the guidelines mentioned or Twitch has blocked it out of sheer caution. After all, they have no idea what exactly the German weapons law allows. Or he has violated something else.
