No, this isn't a weapon, but it's hardly a toy either. This top-of-the-line backyard blaster shoots 6mm gel balls and can get four to six shots off per second. It is also accurate within 18 meters, which is roughly the length of one of the regulation lanes at a bowling alley. The sliding barrel provides a real feeling pump action and is powered by a rechargeable (USB) 7.4V Li-Ion battery.
