pop guns
Harmless toy weapons
Pop guns are toy guns that produce a popping sound when fired, typically by air compression or a cork on a string.
They're harmless playthings for children, which makes the term useful for dismissing real weapons as ineffective or unimpressive: The rebels were armed with pop guns against the army's tanks.
Also spelled as one word: popgun.
