Banned Carbide Guns Sold Online Despite Safety Risks

Carbide guns, which have caused eye injuries, are still being sold online.

These guns, originally for scaring animals, are now marketed as 'monkey-scare guns'.

Despite a ban, they are available on e-commerce sites.

These cheap plastic guns are dangerous, especially compared to professional versions.

Young people, influenced by social media, are buying them.

Police have seized many guns and made arrests, but sales continue, highlighting a problem with enforcement.
