For years, they didn’t want to make grey bricks because they were afraid kids would use them to build tanks.

Which years were those? I remember the "Classic Space" sets going all the way back to the '70s had plenty of gray bricks.

Really early on, with the original castle sets, where all the wall pieces were yellow. I believe the space sets were the first grey bricks.
