As soon as those bullets hit Little Mac, the entire screen is censored.

no one can still explain to me why guns would bump up a rating and not make things kid friendly anymore. what makes guns exactly different from grenades and crap like that?

from what i recall, no m or t-rated games by esrb had "use of realistic firearms" for its rating

 

[Magikrazy]

I don't think they originally said no guns due to ratings.

I think it was because they figured realistic firearms would be incredibly overpowered due to bullets being pretty fast and invisible compared to the lasers from Blasters and Ray Guns.

Lasers are supposed to travel at the speed of light realistically, though, far faster than bullets. Fox's blasters travel very fast too. I really don't see how bullets would be OP

Bayonetta's weapons are pretty far from real in the first place. Yeah, they fire actual bullets and look like guns, but that's about it.

overexaggerated gun, real bullets; i mean really guns you wear on your heels aren't really 'realistic' for the most part

for all we know they could exclusively work on beings with extraordinary powers (aka a brilliant sakurai excuse to keep the game E10+ :P)

Pretty much this. Look at the gun's design. Very colorful and flamboyant, doesn't look like a normal gun, and I even think the Ray Gun from Smash 64, Meele, and Barlw look more like a real gun. And Gutseh man is spot on on how she actually wields them too. Finally, I'm not sure why Sakurai would think real guns are bad, especially when bullets don't even punch holes in a freaking pink marshmallow, much less impact and flinch it.
