Translator programs are rarely perfect, but the gist of a translated post usually comes through ok. The usual protocol (for communicating effectively with people using translator software as an intermediary) is to use short simple sentences, and to limit the use of slang, idiom, ambiguous words, innuendo, and metaphor.crazyslingshot said:

It is a general truism that most governments everywhere in the world either try to tax the fun things in life (to generate income for themselves), or make them illegal (if they can be abused in an unsafe manner). China is far from alone in that. For example, Air-guns are illegal in England, but crossbows (which are far more deadly) are fine. Here in New York (USA), cross-bows are illegal and air-guns are fine. Slingshots are illegal in Russia, but here in New York they're fine (the government considers them "toys") ... other examples are endless.
I hope that translates ok.

It's common for non-native speakers of a given language to not pick the best word to relate something.
In this instance, by "playing slingshot gun", I'm fairly certain he's referring to the same sort of recreational shooting of slingshots we all know and love. Recreational/play, shooting/gun ... an easy linguistic near miss for a foreign speaker or translator program to make.
