Issue of Toy Replicas

This article is to clear the air:

I and the retailer folks who sold the stuffs were pelted with all sorts of questions like
1.) BB Gun got sell?
2.) Eeee....why not real enuff?
3.) That one no powerful in CS wan.....
4.) Why no sell bullets?
5.) Why must have "pew pew" sound?

and many more question which in Singaporean law context is considering as
"Breaking the Law".

Most of the folks who patronized us know the risks we have to go through for doing this and are generally appreciative.

1.)We don't sell BB guns. It is illegal to have one unless you joined a BB Gun Club at which YOU HAVE TO let the Gun Club keep them under custody until you use them at their premises.

2.) Real enough? I apologise that we can't have real metal based guns as it resembles too much to the real thing at first glance.

3.) CS or Counterstrike is based on a PC game and is nowhere near the real performance of real weapons it is based on. What we are selling is the chance to own and display these cool weapon on which the game is based on.

4.) Bullets? There are records from police files that bullets have been used for death threats. You will not like it when some bully send you a fistful of REAL life sized 9mm with the words; YOU WILL DIE! in an envelope.

5.) As for the sound; it comes with the mechanism built into the replica guns. Anyone with electronics expertise who knows how to make them go: "Boom Boom Boom". Please do let us know. I am sure many would like to know that too!
