I bought some new soft air guns for my boys a couple weeks ago and it came with the following practice target. Do you think the Chinese are trying to send us a message?
As a bonus, the gun came with a pair of "bullet-proof cheaters":
Which, I guess, are designed to prevent this from happening:

You should take those bulletproof goggles outside and fire a few shots at them from your favorite carry gun, send the remains back to the factory with a note that they are not bullet proof at all, and see what response you get back.

Years ago, my mother received a complete flatware set from her mother-in-law. Nice flatware set, but it was from Japan. My mother was gong through the list of what was in the box when she ran across a listing for "Jerry Server." My mother, being the practical sort, stated that if Jerry ever came over, she had a spoon with which to serve him.

I guess then, that the correct name for airsoft ammo is "bullers".

My wife refers to those drugstore reading glasses she needs now as "cheaters". Not sure if they're bullerproof or not.
