Btw, I want to relate the first time I took him to the range with real guns, on how I taught him respect for guns, and firearms safety. I had him with ear protection on shoot off some .22s so he would not fear the weapon, but then I took a watermelon out of the car and placed it about 15 feet away, and told him to remove his ear protection and stand behind me and to my right, so he could feel some, but not all of the blast concussion. I then proceeded to shoot one shot into the melon with my S&W .44 magnum Mountain Gun, and it blew the thing into mist. My wife said he jumped at least a foot off the ground, and the look on his face was that of fear and awe. That was exactly what I wanted to instill in him. If you don't respect the safe gun handling rules, even one time, your head could end up as mist in the wind. He's never touched a weapon when not in my prescence, although he can field strip to clean a Glock of an AR-15 in less than 30 seconds.
