Back in the day the manufacturer strived to make a realistic toy, and today it may not be a good idea.

Back in the day… we could play ‘Cops and Robbers’ and ‘Cowboys and Indians’ and ‘Allies and Axis’
They have realistic looking toys today… airsoft… and some BB and pellet guns…
But today, it is frowned on to even suggest games like I just listed…
(Moderators will delete comment for mentioning those games in 4…3…2…)

I had to play with sticks and mud ball grenades’.
We weren’t allowed to play with sticks, the neighbor lost an eye playing with sticks when he was kid. But we had a chemistry kit that included black powder on the project list.

Kinda funny actually, we played with bb/pellet guns. 2 pump max 10 count lead, 3 pump max 20 count lead, or whatever (body shots only)
But we’d of got our butts handed to us for playing with sticks cuz someone could loose an eye.

I remember those days… BB guns and 2 crank limits… all before paint balls… and the early paint ball prices would have meant staying with BB guns… if not getting too old for that.
and… sticks would get you in trouble and scissors also.
