I've been watching Spike Jones videos- He conducts the band with a revolver and uses it.

My brothers and I played with those in our youth. We had pistols and rifles which fired plastic bullets that snapped onto spring loaded cartridges. They were great. Smile

Around my childhood home (South MS), it was common to have "BB Gun Wars." There were rules, like no (intentional) head shots, no more than 2 pumps for the guys using Crossman 760's, no aiming for the nether bits, etc.

My favorite gun to use was a 1911 mock up that was spring loaded; boy, did I feel tough when I wielded that beast. Smile

Sure do. My parents would not buy it for me, but my Aunt and Uncle came through for me and also got me the holster. My Aunt was always good for buying me stuff that my parents did not want me to have. Went through lots of caps per day. Practiced the quick draw on a daily basis. Got to be pretty good.

I think that the average age on this forum is 50 years. I certainly remember the cards and the theme song.

Fanner 50
Crossman 760
Wrist Rocket.
Benjamin pump.
Marksman 1911. It shot darts!
And at age 12, my old man bought a Case Cheetah for me. Which I promptly shoved about halfway through my index finger.
I also rode my bike. Without a helmet!
