You must have been one of the rich kids.

Dime store cap guns in a vinyl holster rig. A lever gun cut out of plywood and painted up by my father.

Not from my youth, but the Nerf wall I built for my boys.

And now for my favorite: Mattel Fanner 50 with shootin' bullets and Greenie stick M caps. Smoked a lot of bad guys with this when I was about 5 years old.

One of my favorites growing up was a tiny 1911 that was actually a keychain. The hammer could cock back and you could load a single snap cap in it.

Had plenty of gun fights with these around 50 years ago.

I really didn’t play with it much, but my dads when he was a kid…

Anyone recall a shotgun like air gun that didn't shoot projectiles but would be pumped and then just shoot air out the end of the barrel? Can't recall the name.
Didn't take us long to realize a slight jab of the muzzle into moist dirt would make a small plug that would shoot out like a real shotgun. Eliminated a lot of bugs with that thing.

This was my prized belt fed toy gun back in the early 80’s.
and one of these in my surplus US holster and web belt.

Had a golf pencil driven onto the barrel to make it inert….it’d get me shot today to be playing army with it. Back then I never worried and wouldn’t even think to point at anyone other than my opp force friends.

Yep, it was basically a Daisy Red Rider with no "guts" in the barrel. I had one and used it to shoot all the heads off Dad's petunias one time. And yeah, I think I did the dirt plug thing too.

I had one of these that my uncle gave me for Christmas or a birthday or something. I conducted many ambushes on Mom from behind the couch with it.

Man you guys had some kick ass toys! I never even got nerf guns, the only thing I got was the cap guns or a few CO2 powered air gun pistols I saved up my allowance to buy myself.

I had one of the Cork Shotguns
Started out with a short String attaching the Cork to gun - but that broke - so you could hit targets farther away

I had a set of Fanner's when I was younger. I also had this:



And these:



We also had these guns that shot erasers about the size of a pencil eraser. My brother and I found out they could shoot BB's so we had a fight between our bedrooms. My mom was so mad when she saw how we tore up the door trim having our "war".

Of course she never thought about us crazy boys shooting BB's at each other! Those were the days, lol.

Had a Man From Uncle Pistol with the barrel extension, skinny butstock, scope, and extended magazine. Also had a Mattel Tommy gun, like Sgt Saunders carried in Combat series. It had a spring bolt that would go bzzzzzzzt when pulled back looking for the German Army guys.Also had the similar Fanner Fifties like above. Single action cap pistols. Loved the smell of burnt caps in the mornings! Lol.

When I was little this was my favorite, my Han Solo blaster. Around age 10 dad bought me a Daisy BB gun for Christmas.
