I missed out on these, pretty cool.

Won't see any like this today.

I remember the Johnny Eagle commericials now that I've been prompted. From around 1966 or '67.

I remember getting a “Mighty Mo” cannon for Christmas back whenever and having it taken away from me and “put into exile” after I shot my cousin in face with it) those spring powered plastic “projectiles” had some pent up power when released at living room distances

I always liked the carbide cannon.

Daisy Model 960. It started me down the path.

Fantastic!
Had a few of those back when. Loved the snubnose 38 in the breakaway shoulder holster and the green stick ‘em caps.
The Mattel pop-out shooting derringer belt buckle was the best though
Thank you for posting!

I had one of those- Christmas 1960 or ‘61!

Seeing Otis Campbell as the bad guy in the first video killed me!

I grew up during the 50's...how could they leave out the Fanner 50?

I love the one with the crank. Just imagine an AR like that, when it gets too dirty to function, just insert the crank and operate it in Gatling gun mode.

And those greenie stickum caps

I remember those toys well.
We never could afford them but when I was eight I got in a bike accident and had some stiches and my dad's office chipped in and bout me a Mattel Shootin' Shell Cowboy Revolver and I was in heaven.
We had caps all then time back then - they were a blast {sorry}.

How many of you would take an entire roll of caps and hit it with your old mans hammer?
Explosives 101.

Or, just a fist-sized rock!

I don't know if it was the Johhny Eagle model, but I had a toy M14 in the early 60's that I loved.
It made shot sounds. I wish I still had that.

I did! I did! What did you say? What? WHAT?

Of course. When I was a kid my ears rang all summer long. Does anyone recall making a firecracker by weaving a straight pin through the individual powder charges on a roll of caps?

I can't find a good picture, but when I was about 11 or 12, I remember having a toy M1A1 Thompson complete with faux 50-round drum magazine. You would pull back the spring-loaded "bolt carrier" and it would "cack-cack-cack-cack-cack-cack..." for about 20 or 30 "rounds". Had a friggin' BLAST playing army with that thing!!!

Ah...youth and wisdom are wasted on the young.

Well...this is an airsoft model, but it looked pretty much exactly like this:

Yes!!!

Clearly these were evil gateway toys that eventually led to the finance depleting addiction of Sig Forum.

My brother and I found that our dad’s large Ball Peen hammer worked well for this. Then boys being boys, we graduated to his 12 pound sledgehammer. We dropped it from about knee height onto the cap roll. You know what they say about using the right tool for the job.
