  1:1 scale replication of weapon is not allows in SG. Stemming from the Law enforcement inability to identify whether the weapon is real or fake, without close inspection.
  
  But the procession of such equipment is allowed within tight constrains, such as the procession of such items has a legal/authorized use(s).

  The answer to your question is a yes and no answer.
  
  Yes, you can own one.
  
  No, you can't keep it at home. Only through secure lockup at the range.
  
  Here is a curious fact for you. Gun dealers in Singapore do not have guns in their offices. Everything is done through third party armed escorts.
