Toy manufacturers in America have been very carful since the 70's when a kid
fired a missile from a Battle Star Galactica toy into his brother's mouth,
who unfortunately choked and died. This led to changes in other "action"
toys such as the infamous "rocket firing" Boba Fett which ended up with a
glued in missile. Micronauts also suffered buy having all of their springs
taken out! Even to this day, the US is definitey not the place to release a
toy which fires something.
