so, i've never sent anything and i am now. the number of stamps depends on the weight of the mail. so if 2 sheets of paper is one stamp than how many is 3 sheets of paper and a really light weight bracelet? and i know this isnt hw help, but i didnt kno a catergory.
Tell your parents that you will buy a target or even make one and will only shoot it at that. Reassure them that you will leave the orange tip on it (even if it doesn't look as real) and people knw that if it has on orange tip on it, it isn't a real gun. !!Good Luck!!
I ran into this exact same problem, so if you reassure them that you will not use it at your house and you are purchasing it so as to have your own weapon while at your friends house it should help. I don't know what kind of neighborhood you live in but personally I live in a less understanding one where more people are likely to have real guns and turn it on me so I wouldn't advise trying to use it anywhere but your friend's house. Also it helps if you're paying for it yourself or at least helping to pay for it to show that you are responsible enough to own the weapon. Meaning you'll abide by the rules and not shoot the neighbor's cat or something.
How about a Rube Goldberg type of machine? (A marble falls down into a cup, the cup tips over and knocks an egg across the floor, which hits a dominoes that hits a plastic fork, which turns on a switch, etc).
Ok you can do what i did and tell your parent u will wear thick clothes and safety goggles. you can tell your neighbors its a fake gun and its legal because it will have an orange tip.. (dont take the orange tip off if u dont already know it illegal and make cops mistake it for real if they still say no then keep buggin em they just might give in i hope i helped
promise and reassure tham that you will not blow someone's eye out like every other untrained kid.
