A functioning firearm is a functioning firearm. Calling it a prop gun won' t make you pretend dead if somebody shoots you with it.
'Prop' refers to an item's use in film, television, or theatre. If D'artagnan and one of the Cardinal's Guard are dueling, they are using prop swords. It doesn't any difference if the swords are honest-to-jesus Solingen steel and sharp enough to kill you - they're STILL props. If they were made of balsa wood painted to look like steel, they are also props.
You're confusing the terms 'prop' and 'replica'. Balwin's gun was capable of firing real bullets, which makes it a firearm as well as a prop. If it had been a replica (incapable of firing anything), it's still a prop.
Words mean what they mean.

It is misleading. It is a real firearm. To call it something else allows the uneducated to assume it is not a functioning firearm.
You want accurate? It is a firearm being used as a prop.
A bad idea.
