No, your comment above was vague.
However, I know enough about gas guns as i've seen enough of them. I still think you might find something interesting.
the .22's are gas fired.
You obviously didn't look at them very closely.

gas guns are regulated to metres/feet per second. you wouldn't want to be stood in front of one though.
as they are replicas you might find something you like.

If there is a national colour it seems to be a sort of mustard/yellow, which can be seen in villages as well as cities throughout Poland.
The colours do seem lmited to a small number of colours, but are used well. Shades of red, blue, yellow, green and brown.
Wroclaw's Rynek shows half a dozen colours that the city gave approval to
Nope. Just was curious

they possibly do. Those with a heavy meat intake have a bad breath problem. it's something to do with digestion. i think.
we all know about garlic, for example, and how its odour can exit through the skin.
In truth though I doubt that even with this knowledge it would be the deciding factor in helping one to distinguish a Pole from a non-Pole.
There are a lot of vegetarians in the UK. Do they smell different to the meat eaters?

folk may look a little different in pictures, but well travelled folk are more likely to recognize a subtle regional difference from simple things, such as a handshake or manner of greeting.
flat at the back, which results in more pointy
What defines a "real" difference?

And the thread says we have flat heads, while isthatu2 thinks we have pointed heads. Make up your mind! :)

There is a whole thread based on Polish head shape. Some non-Poles notice the difference, All Poles deny it.
1. No, because we've done it all before.
2. As has been pointed out, it is they way people carry themselves, move, talk etc that show any real difference.
Did I say ALL Polish people have pointy heads? Nope.

I think there is, but it's down to fashion, hair and make-up.
Polish women and German women are as different, dress wise, as chalk and cheese. And this when they buy from the same chain store
Probably because there's no Polish look in fact.

Music and culture are important in both cities.
