    Oh my giddy aunt

    https://worap.wordpress.com/2016/11/...-magic-pistol/

    Came across this while rooting around on the Internet (btw he’s got a series of quite good articles on real air pistols too)

    While I would have absolutely loved one of these aged 9, I can only think it is a very, very good idea I didn’t have one

    (The other reviews are here: https://worap.wordpress.com/category...pistol-review/)
    Morally flawed

    Never ever heard of one before, but i would like to see any data for injuries that were caused through one. I bet it's not as many as you might think Jerry.

    I like the description of firing it at your sister, ping-pong ball leaving the muzzle at high velocity followed by a tongue of flame of up to eight feet long. Just imagine shooting at your little sister with one of these (because you just would, wouldn’t you? After all, it’s “harmless”). If the ping-pong ball didn’t get her, the flame-thrower certainly would.

    “Not as dangerous as you might think” would have been a brilliant 1950s advertising slogan.

    It's got a certain ring to it that.🤣🤣

    And I reckon they would have flown off the shelves with that.🤣

    I know we rightly mock the interference of elf'n'safety in aspects of our lives it should keep out of, but aiming this product at children is downright irresponsible.

    Even for an adult it should be plastered with warnings and built to a standard equal to the potential danger to the user!

    That is mental...

    Great review, and interesting seeing it shot on video.

    Not surprised it is classed as a firearm or banned in some states!

    Yikes.

    This is my favourite part.....



    Finally, even when using small quantities of magic crystals, each shot involved the ping-pong ball leaving the muzzle at high velocity followed by a tongue of flame of up to eight feet long, even when using small quantities of magic crystals, each shot involved the ping-pong ball leaving the muzzle at high velocity followed by a tongue of flame of up to eight feet long
