Back in the mid 50’s you could buy an anti tank gun for $99.95 via a Men’s magazine add. It would not be my weapon of choice against a tank.

In the 50s I actually owned a ray gun toy. I don’t remember if it was Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon or what, but it would never be allowed today. The trigger operated a squirt gun like mechanism that also had a flint and a steel wheel. If you didn’t fill the fuel tank, sparks would shoot out for a few inches, and if you filled the tank with the recommended lighter fluid, then a 6 to 8 foot stream of fire would come out. It was basically a flame thrower for kids.
