Baptist Church Fun Gun

I was lucky to find this oddity about 4 years ago at an outdoor flea market in PA: A toy gun (in cardboard) with paper athletes that shoot from it when you hold it just so and snap your wrist forward. I can't imagine ANY church today (Baptist or otherwise) using a toy gun to promote itself to youthful parishoners.
