That's exactly what I was thinking, they made more blasters out of necessity.Pretty amazing, as that blaster probably wasn't around much after that.
That's what it looks like to me too. The kids probably had no idea who the actors were.I'm thinking that's not a public appearance. It looks to me like some kids visiting the studio during filming, and getting to meet the "stars".
Actors don't always make smart decisions. Hopefully the gun wasn't still functional even if it was at one time.Hmmm seems surprising that they would hand that kid a functional gun to play with. Makes me wonder what the situation was between firing blank guns and belt stuffer props on the set
