  • My son's got a massive collection - he's 11! Some boys never grow up - I'm assuming it's mainly 'boys' who'd want to bring these into the office? They are a pain - even at home. I'm forever saying 'take them outside!' If you shoot someone at close contact not only do you very easily run the risk of having someone's eye out you also hear a loud noise. Plus you are forever picking up the foam bullets. What boy ever tidies up eh? On the plus side they could be fun if you had a nice large padded room to play in and wanted to settle some inter-departmental 'issues' ;)
