Get them brand-loyal when they're still young...

...and you'll have customers for life.

For instance, check out these "My First SERPA" kits, as seen in the local World of Wally:

A cynic will note that the only difference between the police SWAT dress-up kit and the military Special Forces dress-up kit is that the former is black and the latter is... well, I think they were going for "flat dark earth".

Leg shot blow out kit sold separately!

Ask mom and dad to film you in a big, goofy hat and then put your self-inflicted wound on youtube today, kids!

Shootin' Buddy

They sorta missed flat dark earth. No matter, my flat dark earth M&P is not looking so hot either. Must be all of the shooting =)

"Adventure Force"? I remember when all you needed for adventure was a fedora, bullwhip, and Webley.

The M9 bayonet is pretty accurate, it seems. Hard to tell if it'll fit on the rail of the 92, since no scary assault weapon is included.

Scary assault weapon sold separately! ;)

Funny story: At a Walmart I once saw a kid of about 5 years with an Airsoft AK moving from cover to cover protecting his mom while she walked down the aisles.

That's just special right there.

@Keith - I tried doing the same thing for my wife until she ordered me to knock it off. :)

Does the glock go off automatically when the kid holsters it?

"Combat pistol with realistic sound" Huh, you could almost say that about a Kel-Tec P3AT.

I do not like the SERPA. Not convinced they are unsafe parse. It's more that I do not see a reason to go away from a thumb break type retention which my other non friction holsters have.

Definitely wouldn't start my kid down the wrong path like that.

I am glad at least the "adventure Force" 92 gets the Mars Attacks green frame with safety cone orange slide and not the Arctic white like the SWAT set has to live with.

That's the sad thing about today's police. Sans the Frag Grenades (which I guess we could argue might really be flashbangs or pepper) Modern Police are decked out about the same as our soldiers.

The police have become the standing armies our founders warned us about!

Letting your kid within ten meters of this kind of kit would probably get them taken away from you in Where Great Britain Used To Be.

Ritchie said...

That, and the plastic baggies of little plastic "U.N. soldiers." Made using the same molds as for little plastic Army guys I expect.

Cardboard dog target sold separately?

Cardboard dog target sold with vaguely worded and misaddressed warrant.

It's nice to see everyone gets EyePro...

Just My 2¢ said...

Great idea! Get those kids used to taking bullets in the leg early and they won't get all whiney when they ND with their grownup Slurpa.

I am appalled, but not surprised. Owhell, I have six Silvertips in Mr. Smith. God willing, (prolly not) that will be enough.

P.s. On the God Willing thing: Some have opined that the Good Lord Almighty looks out for drunkards, small children, and the United States of America. I begin to think that we (the United States) have just about exhausted His patience.

I betcha He's still cool with the kids, and hope He's well with us drunkards, but the people who run the USA these days seem to be doing their best to provoke Him.
