Toys "r" Us sells shooting accessories?

The place for general talk about gun, shooting, loading, camping, survival, and preparedness related tools and gear, as well as gear technology discussion, gear reviews, and gear specific "range reports" (all other types of gear should be on the back porch).

Performance is near flawless; chambers quite smoothly and "return to zero" is perfect.
Only complaint is that it fits only one caliber, 300 Winchester Magnum.
This caliber is way too big for most children to handle.
Why only one caliber? Is that the standard NERF/Airsoft caliber?

Tom wants one.

Geez. I bought a toy Uzi at Toys R Us years and years ago, it was very realistic. I used it in building a piezo ignition, MAPP gas & oxy powered potato gun (black ABS, looked like a bazooka), I should post pics of it sometime. Toys R Us stopped selling toy guns a couple of days after I bought it.

Well, from what I've heard, the guidelines for starting out young shooters are like this:

.22LR & .223 Remington - Ages Birth - 6 months

.222 Remington Magnum - Ages 6 months - 3 years

.240 Weatherby Magnum - Ages 4-7

7mm Remington Magnum - Ages 8-11

.300 Win Mag - Ages 12+

Or it was something like that. Of course, then there's a young adult's sixteenth birthday, where they step up to the .375 H&H Magnum, the eighteenth birthday and its traditional .416 Rigby, and of course no one ever forgets their 21st birthday and firing off a pallet of .577 Tyrannosaur.
