Back when your main worry was to not get surrounded & killed by the "bad guys"!Range Time  And of course, to get your butt home by meal time.Laugh

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

Did you ever overlap two rolls, then re-roll them and get them to feed? Sort of a capgun SuperMag

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Can you even buy a cap gun now?  I remember getting one for my 5th or 6th birthday.  It was a double gun rig.  Wish I still had it!

Yep, sure did!Cool The smoked a bunch more, too.  Those later ones with the plastic "speed loading" caps weren't half as cool.

I still have a little Luger cap gun somewhere, that thing is pretty solid. Not sure where my revolvers ended up.

Of course, at the same time that everyone was running around with capguns and plastic TommyGuns, my brother and I were using the war souveneir 6.5 Arisaka rifle that Uncle Bob brought home from his service in the Pacific Theater. This was the mid 60's, but were running around the neighborhood with a fully functional rifle playing "war".

The cool part of all of this is that my brother had this rifle for about 30 years, gave it to my son a couple of years ago. My son has shot this rifle, and says it actually pretty accurate. Right now it's in my basement, and I might just take her out for a run one of these days.
