We let them shoot bows at us.

I got hit in the nuts twice. They're weirdly accurate when you give them a human target.

Lolololol toddler tackles. Toddlers I mostly meet are usually napping in their cart, not giving a fuck about the war.

I've done some fair share of demonstration with younger folks. They always bring the best question in this hobby in my opinion.

"Why cant you use Tommy gun instead?"   

"Is it true that Captain America kicked your butt?"

"Why are you putting pixie stix in your gun?!"

I used a muzzleloader in a haunted trail one year as a scare. Fired, guy yelled and then commented that it was a black powder rifle from the smell and smoke. Comes up later, "that weren't no real gun back there, they can't do that!" I laughed so hard, took another shot and scared him onto the trailer to leave ;D ;D ;D

We camped in a park near Liverpool once for some kind of local event, the chav kids tried to nick our rifles and kept asking if the food we were eating was real. The LT wouldn't let us fix bayonets and see them off sadly

Actually, I was with my dad at the range and he said that people typically perform better at marksmanship when firing at a human-shaped target. He's got gold marksmanship in pistol with the USMC, so I think he may know a thing or two. Still, very curious as to why that's the case.

A couple hundreds of thousands of years of doing the same thing will be hard habits to break.

Especially if we keep making such fine instruments to do so.  :P

Kids are sociopaths.

One of the little buggers tried to shoot me in the face, I could see it in his eyes.

Never give a kid a saber, they will try to shank someone with it.
