So, I got motivated by an user in a previous thread about a ZPU-2 for babies first technical.
I didnt find that proper for the truck mounted gun. But...
I got amped up, found a busted nerf rhino fire, souped it up, and got a trailer base frame for the truck.
I got lazy and glued the stock tripod it to the trailer. Once that dries for a few more days, Ill be drilling holes for bolts. Maybe add some boxes for ammo.
So now my son, when he is a little older, can drive around his technical and deploy his ZPU-2 trailer as needed.
I appreciate the sentiment, but we live in a world of practicality. I could make him a pint sized plywood tiger tank, I really could, 3d modeled, designed, reproducible.
But right now, Im sticking with the practical little things.
Here's his gun locker. When he is old enough to reach it.
Definitely understand practicality. Don't make things harder if you're making progress. Looking great so far.

I have 2 original nerf ultimators somewhere at my parents place.
They tend to break at the end after too much use.
I still want them back for display though. I used to load those rocket's foam ends up with rocks.

Oh, also, you mean the silly RPG?
I just got it because it was 5 bucks and US army brand. And it looks like a tiny RPG so he can roll around waging jihad against the squirrels in the yard.

T H I S I fucking lived cheap, mostly accurate gun encyclopedias from age 7-15 without ever firing or being allowed to handle a firearm (thanks mom)

I remember (im a millennial) when the library at my highschool had a book clearing, "come take what you want from this pile".
I got a collection of nixon books, one that was about the space rpogram that didnt know we stopped doing moon missions, and one about Jeeps.
Sad times nogunz.
However. I made a lifesize (for a 4th grade) 3d paper musket, and was allowed to run around with it.

I remember (I am a tide podder) when the librarian at my middle school said "well we don't really have many books at your ready level..." and then handed a copy of Guadalcanal Diaries to a fourth grader. Then the principal and my parents tried desperately to figure out why I kept calling all the asians (mostly Filipinos) at my school 'Japs'

Kek,
We had this dude, "Coach Wamble", real name.
He was a 'Nam vet. Lost a most of his ears and his entire nose to cancer. He could pull out his prosthetic nose to scare children, it was hilarious.
He would throw desks across the room at nigger football players and discuss philosophy with me.
Every year, he was voted to speak at graduation, and every year the admin said "nah".
Also, all of his war stories (my favorite involved ground radar) ended in "and we killed all the dinks".

They break if you even barely overpump them, yeah. They use a flexible air bladder that breaks super easily.

Never blew a bladder. The orange part on the front sheared.
Me and my brother, back in 6th grade roundabout, absolutely pumped them as hard as we could.
