toy guns
Children's pretend weapons
Toy guns are playthings designed to resemble real firearms without being capable of firing actual projectiles.
They range from obviously fake—brightly colored plastic or clearly fantastical ray guns—to realistic replicas that can be mistaken for the real thing.
Water guns, cap guns, and Nerf guns fall under this category.
The kids played cops and robbers with toy guns.
Concerns about toy guns center on safety when realistic ones are mistaken for weapons, and debates about whether they normalize violence in children's play.
