What is a "pop gun"?
A pop gun is a toy gun that makes a popping sound when fired. It typically uses a spring-loaded mechanism or a simple plunger to force air or a small object, like a cork, out of the barrel. When the trigger is pulled, the air pressure causes the pop to happen. Pop guns are often made of wood or plastic and are designed to be safe for children. They are popular in play, especially in pretend games, and are known for their loud, fun noise. Though harmless, it is still important to handle them carefully to avoid injury.
