A regular ole roll of caps for the capgun. You had to get your hands on dad's 3lb hammer though.

You put the WHOLE roll down on the sidewalk...flatten them out as much as you can but don't unroll them, and then WHACK em with the hammer as hard as you could!

*KA-BOOM!*. It would ring your ears and make dogs start howling!

My older brother had a Stretch Armstrong. Cool toy. What was that goo on the inside anyways. I never did find out.

Was it a neon green toxic substance :)

Those were great, but man, did they hurt when you missed.

They did make great weapons.

Guns were okay in my house, unless they actually could do damage.
