 :lol: :lol:  ;) , IMO when bam bam and pebbles were introduced it was all down hill w/no breaks for the Flintstones
 
But I was referring to the sniper rifle that is included in the sets and I seem to remember a space laser gun that was included in a pre-historic set as well
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I really don't care much about these new rifles-they're (sadly) a part of modern life, and as much as we probably would want to, they won't go away anymore.
One other thing, nobody EVER complains (LUCKILY!!!)about the medieval weaponry, but being a medieval nutcase myself I train with-and know how to use-the longsword, seax and battleaxe, and I can tell you the effects of those on someone's poor head are equally gruesome, so let's just see the guns for what they are : yet another wonderful part to use in our wacky Playmobil worlds. ;)

And let's remember that in Mark Twain beat Playmobil to it in mixing knights and modern artillery in A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court.

If you look at a lot of the custom made playmobil figures and sets that people make, there are a lot of people customising existing weapons to make more authentic looking sub machine guns etc for their WWI and WWII etc scenes.  I guess Playmobil has cottoned on to that and is responding to demand.  Responding to demand is how the company carries on, I would guess.

Its a shame that lego threw their happy little world into the trash years ago already with few lego people still smiling, I'd hate to see my clickies end up in such an unhappy enviroment as well.

For my part, besides submachineguns I'd like to see M-60s, RPGs, AH-64 and RAH-66 helicopters, and EF-2000 / F-18 / F-22 fighterjets and B-1 / B-2 bombers.  :-[  (Rotors and wings should be in the right positions!  ;D )
Oh, and an aircraft-carrier of course (preferably a USN Nimitz- or Ford-class lookalike).  :P

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!
