“and an M-16.”

Red `flash-hider’ that went back-and-forth and a `bolt’ you pulled to give yourself about 20 shot noises?
I had one of those.

My ten year old buddies and I played `Combat’ in the piney woods, red dirt of Ft. Benning, off Auger Avenue, with our Mattels.
Our parents would tell us, “If you see any unexploded ordnance, don’t pick it up.” Or at least don’t bring it home.
Yeah, like we had to be told.
We knew a kid who went out on the mortar range and picked up a `dud’. That was all she wrote for him.

Yep, I think that’s the one.

I think they all made a firing noise, too.

“Or at least don’t bring it home.”

I believe that’s the line of the year on FR.
