Gnome saiyan?
I guess there was a time when children could walk around in the US carrying one of these without getting shot.
They still do. Heard of Uvalde? Just strolling the school.
I’m in my 40s and used to go to school with my shotgun in the truck. Hunting hours were only for a few hours after school so you were better off carrying your shotgun instead of going home for it.
Everything changed with guns in the late 90s/early 2000s. Before then as long as you weren’t a delinquent no one really cared if a kid had a gun. At least not where i grew up.
wait'll
is that a pepsi logo on the stock?
And so the soda wars begin cocks Dr. Pepper shotgun
My grandfather who served in Vietnam always called his M16 a "Mattel Gun". I see why now. XD
I've heard by way of anecdote some of the connotation was strengthened by the Mattel toy guns being bought and used as training aids by individual units in stateside training. That could strengthen a baseless, but not absurd, rumor that Mattel had anything to do with the polymer on M16s.
Anyways in the movie 'The Green Berets' (1968) John Wayne smashes a Mattel gun on a tree. It isn't a good movie, but it has weirdly memorable scenes.
Now that’s a sound I can get behind.
No silly, it's a sound that comes from behind.
Depends who’s got the brap-o-matic I guess.
Anyone remember Entertech water guns before the color changes?
