Japan’s Real Gimmick Mini Revolver, a claw machine prize, just triggered a national recall after 16,000 units were found able to fire live ammo. Trending questions like “Are toy guns illegal in Japan?” and “Can toys shoot real bullets?” now haunt 31 prefectures. The NPA warns: “It’s a cheap plastic toy with lethal potential.”

This plastic gun recall, featuring the Real Gimmick Mini Revolver, has 78 companies across Japan scrambling. Authorities cite the Sword and Firearms Control Law and urge families to turn in these crane-game prizes. Trending: “How do Japanese police handle illegal toys?” and “Chinese-made toy gun dangers.” Picture a carnival vendor sweating bullets as police confiscate plastic revolvers from neon-lit arcades—a surreal swap meet of innocence and hazard.

Imported since December, these claw machine toys were designed for kids 12+, but a metal hammer and wide barrel turned a harmless prize into a hand-held fireworks show for the criminally unlucky.
