I was a kid in the 70s. I played with toy guns. But this advertising... 😬
Easy to imagine. In their rush to make instruments of death less scary looking, they've made them less scary looking which seems like a bad thing, to me.
Know why? She doesn't feel as apprehensive about shooting it, won't touch my Colt .45 because heavy and black and scary. They kick about the same since the Colt is much heavier.
As I said in another comment, my kids got a lesson on guns that look like toys. Hell, 2 of mine are Tiffany blue. (It matches my kitchen, OK?)
We had toy guns in the 70s that absolutely looked real. Hell, I had a BB/dart gun that would pass for a 1911, even up close. Heavy metal too. I have several real guns that weigh less, and worse, some look like toys. The kids got a demonstration of that reality.
