Who Said Kids Didn't Have Dangerous Toys Years Ago?

[sharkeeper]

Anyone remember these?

Sonic Blaster, 1966

The Mattel Agent Zero M Sonic Blaster 5530 fires compressed air with a deafening blast. Our measurements top out at 157 dB-above a level that can do permanent damage to the hearing of an adult. We rate the toy Not Acceptable.

Years ago (enough years ago) you bought your boy a .22 to go shoot squirrels when he turned 12.

That's bad as hell! I like how that kid is all tiny looking and stuff and he has a big bazooka looking thing on his shoulder. I wonder if it can be overclocked?

What's the point of this toy? It only shoots compressed air and make a loud noise?

you answered your own question i think

Even if that did *nothing* walking around with that today would surely get you arrested, especially if you assumed the position of pointing it skyward...

You listen to the internet or something? I know there are blind people who use voice synthesis, but I don't think I've ever interacted with one on the net.

Nothing like having a member of the family that throws them straight up in the air! Sheer horror!

There's nothing like having a kid wearing fake ordinance.

In todays environment you rarely ever see kids running around with fake guns. Law enforcement officers are too jittery. I remember when laser tag was popular in the 80s, all those kids got shot.

Way back in the day, you didn't buy toys for 12 year olds - they got up at five to milk the cows. My point is, "dangerous" is only a matter of how you teach the child to handle what they're given. Teach them maturity and how to handle what they have.

time to find one of those on Ebay. And I thought my battery powered M5 Intertech water gun was bad ass!
