I actually kinda think Tric should potentially trade that rifle to NJW, for NJW to have the option to plink away at Toons.
I know of one Page I never want to see moved, unless NJW explains why it should. My ears are open, if that happens. One way to help ensure it never moves without NJW choosing to move it is for NJW to have a lot of items, so even if somehow a thief, non-targeted item exchange, my movement of items, or other 'lose some stuff' weirdness happens, - it's more likely to move one of NJW's other many items, not the Page.
Also, we now know that if NJW had moved the Page before getting rid of that valuable item, he's still have it, we'd just have two Pages. So if he's anti-town trying to get rid of a hot potato, that was a problem. He's probably not anti-town, but I can still see reasons why he's playing the seriously down low innocent. If so, this solves very late game, when we decide who's the last to get elimed out, and hopefully our remaining anti-town are detectable, even already detected if not certain.
If I get the airsoft before NJW does, it becomes free for anyone to use. if I then trade it to him, he can free-levelup off Toony and do whatever else he can do with his unknown night action(s).
If we just trade the airsoft to NJW as is, it costs him an action to use to get an extra 'safe to lose if non-targeted theft comes' item per night, unless and until someone else makes it free to use.
But it has no spheres. It would need special targeting to become free; FoU's method can't work. Or special handling - Right now everything I personally control becomes free.
So we can keep it requiring an action to use if we want, and I'm never knowingly allowing any targeting of NJW unless stuff goes insane and that looks town to me to allow, cause, knowingly trigger.
We haven't heard much from NJW, and he said maybe we discuss protection later. If so he leads that discussion, I don't know what he 'needs'. But NJW, if your plan involves there being 2 Pages and someone with an unending stream of apples - I know a reason why that can't work. It's not pro-town for me to say why. Other things may be possible, but if that's the core of the otherwise looks great plan - sorry, not possible as far as I know for reasons that are not pro-town for me to state.
We can still discuss if you see good reason, I'll discuss everything that isn't for sure anti-town to discuss. I'll explain why I think pro-town reasons are pro town, for you all to discuss. But just like only you know how your defenses work, and that's pro town - trust me on the 'actually apple trick+ doubled page is a fail if we want to ensure first and second kills/nightkills are controlled'.
