I know what you mean Frankie. Brings back memories of being a lad. One Christmas I got a Pair of pistols in a red velvet lined wooden box. My mum made me a pair of holsters out of canvas. I looked like the "Milky Bar Kid".=))

I can remember these guns :)
The smell was lovely from the caps :)
I can remember some times using my finger to make them go bang or putting the caps on the ground and hitting them with a stone =))
Happy days ;)
 
Those guns and the little plastic rockets that you put the tape into and threw it in some poor unsuspecting persons direction.
Great fun.

Won't mention the trouble we got into with some iodine based explosive compound made by one of our more adventurous class mates when we spread it on the floor all around the blackboards in school. Hilarious when it sounded like a battle field as the teacher tried to teach. Well worth the punishment afterwards ;):)

I actually saw some of this tape on the ground close by a few weeks ago. Must still be going :thumbsup:
 
I remember the paper ones but think my 6 shooter worked off these.

I had single shot "Spud gun" which used these.

I was to old for toy guns I think by the time those plastic caps came out, saved having your cap reel bunching up and jamming or having a rather bigger bang.

I had a great birthday present once a assault rifle complete with a magazine that you loaded plastics bullets in, it was a single action but got confiscated very quickly after shooting at the tv while watching Dr who (Jon pertwee) oh and shot my brother in the foot=)) at least I had sense not to shoot him in the eye.
 
Now that's a Spud Gun.:thumbsup:

Ha ha I had a little pirates gun that used those, it was bought on holiday in Spain in the 70s
 
I used to have this great Thompson toy cap sub-machine gun back around 1960. It used a roll of caps that were perforated so a spiked wheel could drive the caps through the gun as you pulled the trigger. A spring loaded arm could be pulled back to drive the mechanism and shoot several caps in rapid succession. I looked on the internet and to my surprise, I found several pictures.of it. It was the coolest toy and I was the envy of all my friends in the neighborhood. Back then, all our parents had been in the service in WWll and we relived the stories they told in the woods around our house and around the housed in our neighborhood...Here's the picture. Imagine this in your hands firing about ten shots at a time before you had to spring load the piece again.............

We used to make these using two bolts and one nut.
