I’m honestly surprised they haven’t been banned or neutered, just like s lot of other cool toys that we used to play with. I’m from the era of metal slides, no rubber tiles, lawn darts, chemistry sets and all sorts of shooting toys. And if it wasn’t inherently dangerous, we found ways to make it so.
Ever shot a Super Soaker with a glass bottle instead of a plastic one? We did. That’s why they don’t let you do that anymore…
