If it doesn't fit the topic in any of the other forums, and is firearm-related, put it here!

How come they don't come in the larger sizes?
Can’t have all the mall ninjas feeling inadequate.

Probably to make it easier to know what gun it is in the cabinet

My guess is advertising and/or a way of marking that it passed all QC's and is ready to be shipped out.

I agree its to pop out in a showcase but I also think its to represent the gun is brand new, since most gun owners would throw it away when they take their gun out. Just a thought.
