It's amazing the innate magnetism boys have towards instruments of war. Every stick, toilet paper roll, pencil, clothes hanger, paperclip, toy car -you name it- can be magically transformed into a weapon of nuclear proportions. Pick up any item and just add boyish imagination and BANG.... bring it on brother! So, when they see the "real thing" there is no stopping them. We were recently in Nitra visiting a friend Martin. Martin is just a oversized boy. He has his toys..but they are real. So, the boys jumped on it - a rifle with a sniper sight! As cool as it looks, it's still just a muzzle loader. Laws are very strict here in Slovakia concerning bearing arms. But, one shot rifles like Martians are considered simply for sport. Either way, the guys didn't care. Just add a bit of imagination and sound effects and you have got yourself a machine gun...or a bazooka!
