Re: Itty Bitty Rifle
Thanks guys-It is indeed a sad day now that I've got to warn my son to NEVER take that 5.5" plastic toy to school for fear of him being expelled from the 4th grade.

Re: Itty Bitty Rifle
When we lived in California, I told my son to never even mention at school, not even to his friends, that we had guns in the house for fear of what an over-zealous teacher and Child Protective Services might try to do.Embalmo wrote:Thanks guys-It is indeed a sad day now that I've got to warn my son to NEVER take that 5.5" plastic toy to school for fear of him being expelled from the 4th grade.

Re: Itty Bitty Rifle
A text passage in a college course I took recently attributed a recent decrease in school age suicide to an increase in in gun laws and celebrities coming out of the closet.

Re: Itty Bitty Rifle
Wow! What an interesting gun. Check out the cartridge it fires (hence the distinctive magazine):

Re: Itty Bitty Rifle
I wonder what the grain weight for that bullet is?? I've read that combat ammo for amphibious rifles are usually made of hardened steel. I would imagine it weighs a ton!

Re: Itty Bitty Rifle
That is awesome of you guy to find this out. I just showed the article to my 9 year old while told him about his little toy. He even told me, "Okay Dad, we're both under water; Pow, pow!" while pointing the tiny gun at me. It's hard for me to wrap my head around underwater gun play; I wonder if this kinda' stuff happened often in the Cold War. Hmm. I can just see some ridiculous British PSA with children with these rifles playing Marco Polo.
