I shouldn't be, but I'm surprised by how many people here are acting like this is all something new.

It seems new because up until recently figures have been coming with real guns aplenty. I just bought Grim Knight and he's loaded with guns. Hell, that The Hood Marvel Legends figure upcoming has two very realistic guns so I'm unsure why Zemo gets some kind of goofy ass laser pistol.

Also, the Classified Series Joes have mostly real looking guns.

Obviously this has happened before. I remember in the early 2000s Cartoon Network put bright neon colors over guns in their cartoons and had them shoot poorly edited in lasers and removed blood. They also edited out deaths, which was flat out hilarious when they aired an episode of Gundam 0080 where almost every character died. THe episode was severely shortened and the plot made little sense because everyone kept disappearing.
