I collected those. A rock or magnfying glass would be fun too. Or just setting fire to the roll. Those little round caps were a pain.

The newer cap guns were fun. They had individual plastic cartridges like a starter gun but held together like a speed loader. Of course I would drill out the bbl, and proceed to blow the crap out of a toilet paper roll with the muzzel flash.

A buddy of mine had a 1911 lookalike that took those caps in a strip form, 20 or 25 shots to a strip. I recall they were louder than a regular cap, but more expensive too.
Every shot would trim and eject the spent round. Quite a mechanism for a toy!
The Greenie stickum caps were most fun in school. One guy stuck a whole sheet of them to a hardcover book and slid it across the floor to one of his buddies. Teacher wasn't impressed.

These were just a round red plastic rim of 6 or 8 shots.
A few minutes ago, I was wondering what ever happened to all these great toys. Then you reminded me. Many were confiscated at school!
So, we had to make covert ones. Bought ten cent ballpoint pens, and using a bobby pin and the original spring, put some Eddy Lites in there, and when you pulled and released the trigger, it would be like a stink bomb, ressembling a pen.

We used to press BB's into the red plastic caps...they would pop when they hit something...we usually shot them with sling shots...

Man oh man some of you guys were behind the times ! My favorite childhood toy was a "candy striper" who my parents paid to keep an eye on me when they had to leave town for a day and a half on occasion on weekends to check on my grandma 250 miles away .
Because i suffered from insomnia she would share with me a couple shots of Cutty Sark from dad's medicine cabinet and read me a bed time storie late at nite !!!

I had these other pistols that I liked that shot a .22 cal or so, silver ball with some kind of weird clay composition. It only shot by trigger operated spring tension and would never feed if the muzzle was held downward.
Anything that fit would have been tried, crammed into the bbl of my .117 Hungarian Air Rifle. A wax bit or eraser would make quite the welt on the body of a "friend".
