instructions for a pellet gun

You have to love the bad technical writing here. Never look at the muzzle with your eyes.

(But - naughty me - I assume my other body parts are just peachy-keen. I can look down the barrel with my teeth, fire a plastic pellet into my epiglottis.)

Judging from the macabre illustration, what the instructions actually mean is never point the gun at your eyes.

Or, please do not attempt suicide with this toy.

Tom:

You could also listen to the muzzle with your eyes.

Grindr:

Its a bad EngRish translation! ha While I was in Japan, I saw lots of it, like "Jesus loves say". They structure the sentence different. If you were to say word for word "I dont like(suki)meat(niku)", it would translate, "meat I dont like". Thats why I refuse to wear shirts, get tattoos or buy anything with hiragana, katakana, or any kind of konji. Even though its beautiful, people who can read it well, would be laughing the same.
