The story as I heard it was that Lego decided to stop selling the firing
cannons because of the danger of the projectiles to children. It makes
sense as the laws on that type of thing seem to be stricter here in the US.
I'd be willing to trade your younger brother a new firing cannon for the one
he has with a black pin. My firing cannon doesn't have a black pin, it is
all gray. I love the black pin cannons and that is why I'm making this offer.
take care,
Tom
