These sorts of pieces always remind me of something: When my nephew was around 2 or 3, his mother insisted that she'd never buy him any toy guns (LEGOs, pop guns, or anything). When he'd visit us, he always somehow dug out the old pop gun toys we had buried away. A year later, I visited her and she'd entirely caved. I asked her about it, and she said she gave up when she realized he was just using sticks or anything else he could think of simulate one while he continued playing cops and robbers and all the "violent" games little kids play.
