In fictionland, however, if someone with an IconicItem WeaponOfChoice is [[SpinoffBabies shown as a child]], [[FollowInMyFootsteps has a child]] or meets a younger counterpart (a {{fanboy}} who wants to grow up to be just like them, perhaps) then you can expect them to own a toy or weapon with some perceived similarity to it.
The nature of this "WeaponJr" and how functional it is can vary. It might be a literal toy version (wooden swords are popular, as are more high tech toys, like dart guns) or it might be an actual weapon that people wouldn't mind a kid having (BratsWithSlingShots, Slings, etc) which might actually be dangerous in RealLife (but not necessarily in fictionland).

The nature of this "WeaponJr." and how functional it is can vary. It might be a literal toy version (wooden swords are popular, as are more high tech toys, like dart guns) or it might be an actual weapon that people wouldn't mind a kid having (BratsWithSlingShots, Slings, etc) which might actually be dangerous in RealLife (but not necessarily in fictionland). Whether it's just kids playing at soldiers, or children [[ChildSoldiers actually being forced into combat]] depends on the series.

If this is used in a flashback, expect it to be milked for "UsedToBeASweetKid" points if they aren't an EnfantTerrible. If older versions of the protagonists using more advanced "weapons" show up then it's GenerationXerox or FutureBadass. A video game might have your character wield them in a JustifiedTutorial. In an RPG they might serve as StarterEquipment. May be wielded by a KidSidekick. This can be either a CallForward or {{Foreshadowing}} depending on when it's revealed who the child in question grows up to be. If children are actually being given weapons to played with (as toys or not) then it's MyLittlePanzer (although it still counts as this trope if the owner of it "upgrades" when they're older).
