These are water guns. I feel like that needs repeating. Just look at those pistols. Not one thing about that screams "toy," and if I saw that kid at the bottom pop out of a bush with his toy RPG when I was driving home after a long day at work, I'd have a heart attack and die at the wheel. Every single Entertech water gun was like this. They all looked incredible. And if you were a kid, of course, you'd need one of these things. You don't want to be the asshole running around with the crappy transparent, non-electric water gun in the neighborhood.
If you had the RPG and the pistol sidearm, you were the kid with the Nintendo and the parents who bought everyone McDonald's for the sleepover. If you had the shitty water gun and some water balloons, you were the kid who just drew flipbooks of Mario and whose parents gave out pennies on Halloween. It's your choice. As Entertech blew up in popularity, they were really going to need to up the ante with their second-generation line.
There was nothing more '80s than adult movies having a line of kids toys, and perhaps nothing took it further than damn Rambo M-60 rifles for kids. Headband included! Among the absurd line of second-wave Entertech guns were a bunch of shotguns, grenades, and this beauty that dropped alongside Rambo: First Blood Part II. I would love to see this make a return today. If I could walk into a store and buy my nephews little John Wick suits and pistols, I'd sprint to the damn non-existent toy store right now. I mean, what's the worst that can happen if we get a bunch of kids running around the neighborhood looking like Nic Cage in Mandy? Wait? What? Really bad things can happen if you do that? Really bad things did happen when we did that before? Shit.
