Toothpick Crossbows: Sillier than Fidget Spinners?

Toothpick crossbows replaced fidget spinners as the latest "must have" toy item in China. The cheap little shooters were everywhere. Concerned parents complained so much that the Chinese government banned these thingies and confiscated plenty of brand new products from dealerships.
Are toothpick shooters dangerous indeed? Is it hard to make them at home? Is there a "Magnum" version?
See four cool toothpick shooters PLUS a nice update on three edged daggers - soon to be used as tips for heavy crossbows too.

As a school boy in the 70's we made these to shoot wooden matches. We added fletching and sewing needle points to the bolts. The bow material was street cleaner bristles that you could occasionally pick up out of the gutter in the way home from school. Laminating them gave them that 30 yard range easy. Leave the strike any where match head on for an incindary round. Another neat Idea we had was to put some oxy acetylene mix in the handle of cylinder cart and then ignite it. Tremendous BANG!

Joerg, I have a suggestion for your throwing style. I notice you step forward with your right foot when throwing. Instead, try pushing off with your right foot and stepping forward onto your left as you release the projectile from your right hand. Using the opposite arm and leg when throwing will generate greater force. For an example, find a slow-motion video of the throwing motion of a baseball pitcher. Thanks for your awesome videos. Yours is one of my favorite channels!
