If it's something like BB guns, the bb guns will be seized and destroyed. I don't think they will do the courtesy of sending it back to the sender. If you're going to try, remember it's your problem if they don't get in, you can't ask for your money back or anything because it's your responsibility to know your laws. You might be fined or put on record.
When I came back from overseas I brought back 3 BB guns and the customs officer sort of had a not very good look through our luggage and my dad didn't tick the bit about bringing back guns or toy guns or something and asked him if they were allowed. The officer told him that they are illegal in NSW so he'll have to take them and then he wasn't going to do any further searching. He asked if we had any more and my dad said 'I think so' lol. So then he checked but otherwise he wouldn't have. He also walked away for a LONG period of time and you already pass the last set of metal detector thingies so I could've easily shoved them in my pocket and got away with it. (I'm not endorsing this, I'm just saying I could've done it).
Then again he was probably lenient because it was a family of Australian citizens.
