(I hope to _never_ be this rude to someone by saying such a phrase.)

Context: I would like to use it as a caption for a piece of art for a game,
where a character unlocks a type of weapon after a certain level. Insulted, he
says, `You call this toy an "X" weapon?` The character thinks it's a toy due
to how it looks, and is in disbelief as to why people call it `X`. (The `X` is
a proper noun, usually written as katakana. The character has a strong skill
with the same name, hence his confusion.)

It has the same tone as, `You call that a date? (We just ate at McDonald's.)`
or `You call this an essay? (It's hardly five sentences!)`

From what I know, I would phrase it as, `こんなおもちゃなんて、「X」というのか？`

Is it natural? Does it mean what I think it means? Is there another way to
express this type of sentence better?
