Two boys appeared in court after brandishing a Samurai sword and an air rifle outside a primary school.
A youth court at Llandudno heard on Tuesday how teachers and police were alerted after the younger boy swung the sword “pretending to cut up his friend”.
Prosecutor Diane Williams said the unloaded rifle had been cocked and “fired” by the pupil towards the playground.
The younger boy admitted having the ornamental sword and air weapon in public last month. Court chairman John Mortimer told him: “We are concerned about your drug use.”
A previous referral order for shoplifting was revoked and a youth rehabilitation order was made for 12 months with supervision and a six week curfew. The court also ordered for £65 costs to be paid.
The older boy, who admitted having an air rifle at Llandudno Junction, received a six-month referral order and his mother must pay a £15 surcharge.
Defence solicitor Andrew Hutchinson said both items were found in a scrapyard and his clients were messing around.
“They understand people would have been alarmed and distressed by their actions,” he said.
