Warning
Adult supervision is required. These models are not suitable for children under
the age of 12.
The MAC-11 shoots rubber bands. When firing the MAC-11, always wear eye
protection. For maximum safety, carry the MAC-11 unloaded. A replica may fire
when dropped or hit.
Be particularly careful when handling these models in public because they
have been mistaken for real weapons. If you take your LEGO gun out in public,
add a bright orange tip to the muzzle to show that it’s not the real thing.
