To be honest ANY TOY in my hands could be made dangerous. Those plastic FN rifles that fired grey plastic bullets courtesy of a spring action ... I found knitting needles turned them into a decent spear gun.

I had one of those..... my dad bought it me while we were on a Christmas shopping trip in Woolworths and it would have been about 1978!......the barrel snapped at some point so it became a carbine! lol

On the making your own gun powder, I believe with out any licenses etc. you can make and use up to 100g of gun powder, but you can't store it.
