Clip description

This clip shows the same brother and sister (Barry and Kay), this time playing with a small gatling-style toy machine gun in their backyard. The boy is dressed in khaki shirt and shorts and plays with the toy gun. After brief instruction by her brother, the young girl also has a go. The two stand proud in front of the camera.
