Cap GunsBefore it was deemed dangerous or politically incorrect for young children …
A long time ago could be 10 months or 10 years. I am going to say late 1950's or early 1960's. I had one when I was a kid and they were a pain because they only used one cap at a time as opposed to a roll of caps. Where you pulled the top up to load it broke fairly quickly. Single caps were more expensive than rolls so you learned to pull caps off a roll and use them.
I Love old toys from the 40s and 50s! I would take that over any Modern toy Gun ANYDAY!
