Toy guns for khmer children?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Google translate from khmer:

'For children from 3 years old, play as a family to reduce the phone play of young children and eliminate boredom'

Back in the day, all British boys had endless fun playing with toy guns, and 99.99999999999999% of them grew up and didn’t shoot and kill anybody.
These days it would be more acceptable for you to spoon feed your child dog shit sprinkled with broken glass, than to allow your boy to play with a toy gun.

I was a bit before the days when the toy gun needed a red cap on the muzzle end to let you know it isn’t a real revolver that the 5 year old boy is toting, and the caps (ammo) used to be on a paper roll (way more shots between reloads)

Yes, but doesn't this thing shoot projectiles? Rubber bullets?

The other ones are just cap toy guns aren't they?

Johnny Sevens fired plastic bullets, launched grenades and several different rockets.
