Not lethal as it is a toy like a paintball gun without the mess. I suspect he was looking for a "suicide by cop" with pepper spray, an axe, AirSoft gun that kinda looks real, and multiple backpacks.
The LEOs obliged, quite justified, IMO.

Yep, those "toy" guns are too realistic - maybe the gun controllers ought to petition to do away with them......

They thought there was a solution when orange tips were added onto the end of the barrel....but the consumers decided either to remove them or paint over them....Never a good move to display a weapon aimed at officers....
