What is the danger
Considering the material and construction of the product it can be confused with a toy gun, and therefore can be attractive for children. The intended age group (above 14 years) is indicated only in English. There were no instructions for use on the safe use attached to the product in Hungarian. The graphic symbol is misleading. A kinetic energy of the missile is higher than allowed (see attached test report), and taking into account the foreseeable use by children this may imply a risk of injury.
