It's related with many factors. For shooting and not shooting, I don't have strict rules on myself. But I found that's more related with curiosity...for example, I fired 6-shot conehammer, simply because I wondered it works or not. Also fired rare MM-31 for similar reason. Those rare plain gun samples were fired in the past anyway. But I would not fire NIB postwar Mauser, I know it works, no curiosity on that. Made as commemorative also suggests not for shooting. I will keep them NIB. Not totally based on value consideration, but somehow also related with value consideration.
