How to pass moderation in the App Store?

A very strange refusal came to the last update. Absolutely nonsense.

Reasons
3.6: Apps with App icons, screenshots, and previews that do not adhere to the 4+ age rating will be rejected
Specifically, it would be appropriate to remove or revise attached screenshots.

And all 3 of my screenshots are attached. The game itself is a shooting range, but without violence, only targets, with a rating of 12+.
That is, as I understand it, for any games and applications, screenshots should be rated 4+.
It's all wonderful. But I don't have any blood in the screenshots, no erotic content, no smoking, or any other unwanted things. Yes, there are images of firearms and ammunition, but I can’t put teddy bears instead, which are not in the game! How is this to be interpreted? According to the review team, should I post some pictures that are not related to the game?
Here are the screenshots themselves:

Update: Phew! They got it, you just had to file an appeal.

As far as I know (not about the app store, but in general), pictures with weapons are not welcome in the West if they are designed for children. I am making mini-scenes from ready-made blanks for children, and in one of the scenes I had to cut out all the elements containing weapons.

When creating a new application, you can select a rating and indicate that the game has weapons. Then you can leave these screenshots. Apple is very scrupulous in this matter - if you don’t specify, they won’t approve.
