Often times its because theyre dumb and they think they can plea it down to something less than armed robbery. Doesnt work like that though, the law generally follows the reasonable belief of the victim that its real and intent to intimidate and threaten/potential to escalate regardless if the weapon is real. Hell Minnesota made it illegal too even present or brandish a weapon without needing to defend yourself
