I survived lawn darts, bicycles without helmets, riding horses without helmets or saddles, climbing trees, playing on empty lots, old playgrounds and more. We weren't morons.
Some of the regulations in the U.S. are just asinine. It's illegal to sell these little crossbows that are no bigger than the palm of your hand. But you can go down to Walmart and buy your kid a nearly exact toy replica of an AR-15. And it's illegal to sell Kinder eggs in the U.S. because children may try and eat the NON-FOOD toy prizes inside. But parent feed their kids garbage happy meals every day and the kids don't eat the plastic toy prize that comes with it. The dumbing down from our govt. continues! *shaking my head*
The black and yellow ones are cute, and easy to find if you know what you are looking for. They like to hang out around the base of certain a tree, I don’t know the name of it but it has the things that look like rocket fins at the base.
The attachment you didn't recognize is a stand for the crossbow. center piece comes up and wide part stays flat. Bend up the tongue and you have a stand.
I learned how to make a wooden march shooter from a clothes pin and a rubber band. Still alive today, and I didn't burn anything down. It would light a match and shoot it across the room.
We had fiberglass toy bows and arrows when I was a kid. I almost shot out my friends eye with one. He was shooting at me with a cock bb gun and I had the bow, he hid behind some garbage sacks and I shot into one just trying to freak him out and it hit him him between his eye and nose, but still made his eye turn blood red and I was off to the races with his Dad behind me saying "just come here!!" I wasn't falling for it, I was hopping fences like a gazelle! And it was the last time I played cowboys and indians. :)
I am sure the adjustment screw it to adjust the power so that you can get more control of the tooth picks flight if trying to hit a target. I think they are cool too!
Yes, another totally here. “The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.” attributed to Pat Miller.
I remember Kinder Eggs. I had military family stationed in Germany, that used to talk about them. Unfortunately, we are catering to the lowest common denominator. A funny movie, that brings the point home is Idiocracy. There is language, and it is not kid appropriate, but it is an extreme interpretation of the dumbing down of America.
I survived lawn darts, riding bikes without helmets, no seat belts in the car, riding in the back of trucks, going barefoot in the chicken barns.....really, why aren't I dead? LOL
Yeah I was just thinking this while watching this. I also survived biking without a helmet, No seatbelts, Lawn darts, riding in the back of a pickup. chemical rockets, moon shoes(Shoes with springs) and an actual Gilbert chemistry set with real glass test tubes and real chemicals. I should have been days in the 70's by todays standards of safety.
Martin Wicker, you would not say that if you're child would fly from a truck's bed unto the freeway and get killed, or if your child would become paralyzed from falling of his bike. I personally know these people. And what a heartless thing to say.
Actually most of these rules are just feel good stuff. To be honest you should look up reports on helmets causing paralysis and broken necks from accidents that would have just caused bumps. Child mortality from many of these banned things or even injury was actually Low. It happened but it wasn't huge numbers. More children get hurt climbing trees or in the bathroom of their own home than were ever injured by these toys. These are facts try looking them up.
I live in China and have never seen them for sale. Can you send me a pic of the box or a link from ebay. your comments about the gene pool are right on!
the other parts are cross bow stands? It seem like you can bend the 2 parts upward to rest the cross bow on the grove and the big plat plate will sit on the table? Just guessing:)
Here's one for you. So you need a permit to hunt or fish. Some you need multiple permits. Like a hunting liscence and a duck stamp or gator hunting. Permit etc. Buy you can get foodstamps for free. Another words they would rather give ugly foodstamps instead of allowing ppl to hunt and fish for free.
There's a pretty common theory circulating that the reason Kinder Eggs were banned was not because of "Think of the children" but primarily because (as you said) not every Kinder Egg can be inspected. The logistics would be unpractical, thus making Kinder Eggs the perfect vessel for small drug transport. Instead of having to deal with the issue, the USA flat out banned them. Again, just a fun theory.
They are not Kinder eggs, they are surprise eggs. I think though who ever makes Kinderschokolade also makes those eggs; got a few myself from years ago 😁
Tip, As a parent, I'm thankful you didn't teach my child. What a great opportunity that crossbow toy presents to teach Newton's Laws of Motion. Who is Newton, you ask? Ask Stephen Hawking, He now 'owns' Newton's Chair (oops, Steven just died of Lou Gherig's disease (what is that and who was Lou?), wonder who gets the chair next?) Also, there's William Tell. In 1307 he did some cool stuff with a crossbow in Switzerland. In the same year, in England, King Edward II was crowned. In attendance was his rumored male lover, Piers Gaveston. What was that all about? Just a few years later Geoffrey Chaucer was born. He worked for Edward's son, Edward III (of course) as a public servant. He was kind of a writer or author on the side... No, I wouldn't want one of THOSE THINGS in my classroom. They are indeed dangerous: they might lead you to actually think. THAT's a lot more dangerous than a tiny crossbow... Oh yeah, my kid retired from a very successful scientific career at age 42. He's now a very successful artist. Go figure...
++Dada Fan Anything learned for real world application was learned in the real world, only basics wewre learned and I was ahead of most, as I was pushed up two classes. All work and no play... blah, blah... So learn from doing a fun thing like this and explore ENGINEERING, IMAGINATION AND CREATIVITY and STFU!!! The lesson taught in this video is that we, in the U.S., do not have the same regulations as other countries do.
Well gosh I sure hope none of your little ones hurt themselves with those. Of course they are probably responsible children and not the lowest common denominator...🤔
I I'm laughing my head off because I had no idea about you information I saw it on wish.com and ordered it was cute so I ordered it for my grant son But realize it could be a little bit dangerous so I kept it for myself however I have adults who are fascinated by it I do believe the other part you don't recognize my bs stand for it for display
Those are the crappy ones that finally got approved. They don't contain the tiny parts. Small toys yes but not the tiny parts that you put together to make a moving toy.
+ Dennis Burke So is having a bone in a piece of meat. Let's all become vegetarians! Here in Europe they're sold everywhere and I NEVER heard of a kid getting in trouble by them.
Chris Is I understand, I'm not agreeing with the law just stateing fact of the law. Everyone is sue happy and as a result we have stupid laws. For example coffee has to have a caution may be hot written on it
I use to think the hot coffee was silly, I also thought the lady that sued McDonald's for being burned was a winning money hungry sissy.. until a few years ago I saw pictures of her legs.. the skin was damn near all gone and you could see muscle and oh.. it was awful.. so in that case she should have sued,.. cause that was beyond "hot coffee" As far as the warning labels on everything in a class my husband took he learned that for every stupid caution on a label , there has. Den an accident in that manner,.. like " warning don't use chainsaw near unprotected genitalia " some poor shmoe cut his business off!! I agree it's crazy and common sense is lacking.. however I don't think it's more prevalent today then yesteryear, just more publicity. Back in the day the idiots died because there was not as much medical care and the ones who lived certainly didn't make the 10pm news lol
Dear Zac, I love you and respect you, but as a person who lives In Germany since birth and speaks fluid German, go look it up. Landwirt would be the respectable word like farmer, but Bauer is peasant. Many people use Bauer as an insult in Germany, although many have it as a last name too. Go home and read your B... German dictionary. ;-)
Actually, they started to sell KinderJoys here in America, I get them for my kids at our local Kroger here in Ohio.
I survived lawn darts, bicycles without helmets, riding horses without helmets or saddles, climbing trees, playing on empty lots, old playgrounds and more. We weren't morons.
"Its for the children." is just as dangerous as "I'm with the government and I am here to help."
Or "you are with us or against us."
Some of the regulations in the U.S. are just asinine. It's illegal to sell these little crossbows that are no bigger than the palm of your hand. But you can go down to Walmart and buy your kid a nearly exact toy replica of an AR-15.

But parent feed their kids garbage happy meals every day and the kids don't eat the plastic toy prize that comes with it. The dumbing down from our govt. continues! *shaking my head*
Yep ass backwards
Those flat pieces bend out to make a stand for the crossbow.
1939GNASHED SNAP!!! Yunk power right there!!
Steemit much?
@em3
Ah...ok, that makes sense now. Cool!
Dang, you beat me to it ;)
Your middle of the video mini rants absolutely crack me up!!
Those are SO neat!! Thanks for sharing!! :D
The metal frames are a holder for display of the crossbows. The design shows that they fold up and will hold the crossbow at an angle.
Now if you could find some of those South American tree frogs the natives use to poison their arrows.....
LOL! LOL! :>).
The black and yellow ones are cute, and easy to find if you know what you are looking for. They like to hang out around the base of certain a tree, I don’t know the name of it but it has the things that look like rocket fins at the base.
The attachment you didn't recognize is a stand for the crossbow. center piece comes up and wide part stays flat. Bend up the tongue and you have a stand.
The "extra" pieces you show at 6:51-3 are the stands: bend each out in the same direction at 90°. The large part is the bottom of the stand.
We had toy crossbows as kids. We used strike anywhere matches in them.
I learned how to make a wooden march shooter from a clothes pin and a rubber band. Still alive today, and I didn't burn anything down. It would light a match and shoot it across the room.
We had fiberglass toy bows and arrows when I was a kid. I almost shot out my friends eye with one.

I am sure the adjustment screw it to adjust the power so that you can get more control of the tooth picks flight if trying to hit a target. I think they are cool too!
It's a stand. Bend both notches up, and the one that is higher goes right behind bow, the other under handle.
those things that come with it is a display holder so you can set them up on a shelf
The American Cat Union is the reason the crossbow is illegal in the USA. Seriously, can you imagine 8 year old boys with those things??
Don't worry about it, you can always make them, and you can't outlaw that.
Just seeing this for the first time and jumped over to eBay to get one for my teenage cousin! He is notoriously hard to shop for!
You are so funny Zach ... those are really neat, but governments falling, really ... good belly laugh. THX
forgot to add that being in China kinder eggs are my sons favorite, he loves putting the toys together
Cool, heading to ebay now! Thanks
I don't know if anyone has answered.... the extra piece is a display stand... think soldering iron stand.
I totally agree with your lowest common denominator sentiments. Great video.
Yes, another totally here.

You can poke your eye Zach! lol
Kinder eggs are legal for sale in Australia. My kids love them. I think those flat pieces are stands.
You always seem to find the cool stuff ☺
the other piece is a display stand bend both pieces up. from square and put your xbow on it
I bet its to set the bow at a certain angle you, the bow you'd set down on it
Thankfully they are finally going to sell kinder eggs to the US legally but it still hasn’t been said as to whether or not there will be a toy inside
I'm guessing that other piece is a stand. Bend both arms up and rest the crossbow on it.
I remember seeing kinder eggs some where and never understood why they illegal. The crossbow look cool it figures they would be illegal.
choking hazard. The gov´t is very against toys with small parts.

Many didn't survive, that is why the rules are in place.
Danny Kundzinsh Not everyone should survive. Its one of the biggest problems of the modern world

Those who want to keep you safe are those who want to do the abusing !
I live in China and have never seen them for sale. Can you send me a pic of the box or a link from ebay. your comments about the gene pool are right on!
Here in Canada we have Kinder eggs. My kids beg me for them.
How fun!!
you weren't by chance in Velsek Germany? My husband was stationed there in '91.
They are cool toys.
I believe they are stands for the crossbow
Is this an "I want to make youtube's head explode" video? I love it!
the lil cross bow is sold on wish.com and that funny shaped thing is a stand that u bend in 2 spots
the other parts are cross bow stands? It seem like you can bend the 2 parts upward to rest the cross bow on the grove and the big plat plate will sit on the table? Just guessing:)
oh my guess are correct:) ua-cam.com/video/oSqetUelZJI/v-deo.html
they are stands for the toy to sit in when folded
I think the reason kinder eggs are not allowed in the U.S. has something to do with using toys in the marketing of food towards children.
I love Kinder egg as a German. Kinder means children btw.
Here's one for you. So you need a permit to hunt or fish. Some you need multiple permits. Like a hunting liscence and a duck stamp or gator hunting. Permit etc. Buy you can get foodstamps for free. Another words they would rather give ugly foodstamps instead of allowing ppl to hunt and fish for free.
My husband said it looks like they are extra parts of a piece breaks
You need that mini crossbow for the flies in the house. Lol.
Or the wasps in the Solar Power unit :)
ua-cam.com/video/g_jMj_BGHyw/v-deo.html
Man! You guys are TRUE sportsmen! I use a sawed off 12 gauge for hummingbird hunting!!
I want one so bad what s the link to order or info please
Lol agree with your policy's
Nice video, subscribed!
Fuck I used to make those when I was a kid and so did alot of kids in school what a stupid law
wowwwww I want that for myself cool stuff
I would have so much fun with these
they also sell them on the Wish app
the two metal plats is a stand
can get kinder eggs in canada too.
the metel pieces look like they could be stands
SO IN AMERICA
YOU CAN OWN A FULL SIZE TANK
BUT YOUR KID CANT HAVE A 3 " CROSSBOW...
kids can't own a tank. you need to PROTECT KIDS
He can if you give it to him. When I was 9 I got my first BB gun.
Where can I get a few of those
I don't think they sell the bigger Kinder eggs in Germany anymore, which got the better toys. Today they sell only the small ones as far I know.
One guy in the jail down here had the record for 28 kinder eggs he backpacked in.
LOL!

Again, just a fun theory.
ya the government dosenot want any competision bringing in the drugs
With that many mini crossbows, they should have secured the prison by now!!!
Like on a gun they are sights , for aiming .
US kids are EATING ‘tide laundry detergent pods’. How do you fix this kind of stupid!?!
You don’t, you just let it die away.
They are not Kinder eggs, they are surprise eggs. I think though who ever makes Kinderschokolade also makes those eggs; got a few myself from years ago 😁
The flat peice of metal are stands just bend the cut out peice of metal up
it is the sight for crossbow
We call them kinda suprize.
your a total trip. I like people that tell it like it is. LoL
We have kinder surprise eggs in Canada.
COOL MAN
As a teacher, I would hate these to show up in my classroom
Tip Giles 😂😂😂😂😂
As a student I would make sure to bring at least a few. lol
As a former student, I would have LOVED to have shown up with them.
Tip,

I miss Kinder eggs!
the food and drug administration made the unopened eggs illegal because of possible choking hazard the toys are fine.
Absolutely right, cater to the lowest common denominator. I use “america has defeated Darwinism”.
We have kinder eggs 🏴🙏
You'll put your eye with that thing kid!
Those are way cool
Metal car seats with steering wheels strap on roller skates bb guns rope swings at the river pop bottle rockets m80s. Clackers
They look like stands of them
Silly ass rules. Do the policy makers live a sheltered life?
that piece you dont know what its for is a display stand.
Looks like they are still on ebay from China and kind of expensive!
So thats why your son has only one eye.....hahaha!!!
I I'm laughing my head off because I had no idea about you information I saw it on wish.com and ordered it was cute so I ordered it for my grant son But realize it could be a little bit dangerous so I kept it for myself however I have adults who are fascinated by it
I do believe the other part you don't recognize my bs stand for it for display
America "land of the free"
Dude you can buy kinder eggs on amazon
Those are the crappy ones that finally got approved. They don't contain the tiny parts. Small toys yes but not the tiny parts that you put together to make a moving toy.
An American Homestead I live in Germany, wanna buy some from me? lul
Baron Andreas von Kekkingen send me all u have! Up to 500K. Do accept kinderkoin? Just give me wallet address to send it to.
Repeal all "Darwin Award Prevention" legislation and laws.
Display Stan maybe?
Kinder eggs are illegal because having a toy in food is a choking hazard.

What's NOT illegal in the usa anymore.
come on man throw a few toothpicks down range
Bought one from Wish.com.
WOW!... the lowest common denominator????????
Bauer means peasant.
It means farmer.

Kinder eggs? Really? Cmon?
Uh, read the directions.
😣
Could the metal pieces be a target?
