It probably would break if you actually fired it. ^_^

I've actually been thinking of making a gun out of Legoes, and this looks pretty dang cool.

The concept is really cool, but I think it'd snap even by a firmer hold on its grip, like Swordsalmon stated it.

If you are into working Lego guns, look at this (and several related videos):

This reminded me of the rapid-fire rubber band shooter MOC (I'm lazy to dig it up, but that was a beast).

I did one once, not automatic, but fire rubber bands with a range of about... 6/7 meters? I can't remember, I built it a long time ago, I still have it up on MOCpages though

the back of the box is hilarious, they try to pass it off as an educational toy.

The funny thing is, those look like actual Lego bricks on the front. Either China stole a bunch of molds, or the gun doesn't actually come with those parts.
