From the days of Saturday morning assault weapon propaganda corrupting the youth.

[tlb]

Seven guns in one. Trust weapons dealers to make things so complicated.

[barbarianbabs]

Ahahahahaaa! I wish I had a few to give to my neighbors children! The little boys are always having tea-parties around here!

[paulycy]

I had one. It was AWESOME! It came apart into a million deadly pieces.

Joan Face: Alright, Mr. Mainway. But surely even you can see the danger in this next costume, which you call Johnny Combat Action Costume. This is an actual working rifle!

Irwin Mainway: An M-1, yeah.

Joan Face: I mean, this is a deadly weapon, and you're selling it to children!

Irwin Mainway: The ammo's not included. I mean, this is a very popular item, you know? Give the kid a little something extra! Field glasses, a little helmet there, the gun, you know, it makes 'em feel like a real general! I mean, this product is very popular in Texas and Detroit!

Good for the little boys!

From the days before G.I. Joe grew a beard and went metrosexual.

[KosmicKitty]

Yes, but he still had thumb issues

[Alex Murphy]

MYRON: That kid's going to need some serious therapy.
HOWARD: Oh, don't say that.
MYRON: Mm-hmm. I know what I'm talking about. See, I never forgave my father. One Christmas, I wanted this one special toy: Johnny Seven O.M.A. Gun. You remember those?
HOWARD: No.
MYRON: I still remember the commercial. Two kids playing out in the backyard:
'Johnny to Peter. Enemy sighted.'
'Roger there! Open fire!'
Johnny would whip out his Johnny Seven O.M.A. One-Man-Army Gun. Seven guns in one!
HOWARD: Huh.
MYRON: [Chuckling] Thing looked like a blast. Of course for my old man, Christmas was just another opportunity to let me down. I never did get that Johnny Seven O.M.A.
HOWARD: Sorry to hear that.
MYRON: It don't mean nothing.

“TAX’S”?

We had Monkey Patrol as we refought WW II in my grandfather’s garden. I also had a tank called Tiger Joe which fired a shell that would TAKE YOUR EYE OUT!

[paulycy]

“I also had a tank called Tiger Joe which fired a shell that would TAKE YOUR EYE OUT!”

Once I had a green tank, about a foot long and 4 or 5 inches high, with a long turret that fired a shell. It would take your eye out for sure.

I also remember accidentally swallowing one of the little plastic shells! (Don’t ask.)

I don’t remember the name of the tank, maybe it’s the one you had, too.

Youtube has all kinds of vintage TV ads.

Look up Mattel toy guns. Matty Mattel takes on the entire KGB with a crankhandle Tommy gun. The Fanner Fifty sixshooter fires fifty times without reloading, just like in the movies!

Fun stuff. And boys who played with toy guns didn’t grow up to become serial killers. I didn’t, anyway.

Of course, the old games need updating. “Cowboys and Indians” to be replaced by “Marines and Muslims”.

Tiger Joe

Looks like something the family cat would learn to hate

My brother had one, I was a little too old for it. But it was fun.

Ahh, the days of free-range childhood, playing "army" in the fields, picking up all manner of scaly wildlife, and climbing everything in sight....

I don’t know about that. He looks a lot like Ken to me.

[P.O.E.]

How about some Turkish Taffy with that?

[paulycy]

“Looks like something the family cat would learn to hate.”

Lol!

My tank wasn’t as fancy as the Tiger Joe. Mine was probably close enough that my parents could spend less and convince me it was just as good...

[Pilgrim's Progress]

My weapons of choice in my youth were the Man From U.N.C.L.E. (United Network Command for Law Enforcement) kit, with the cool gun and the pen with an AM radio that you could listen to with an earphone.

Those were the days!!!

We lived in a basic L.A. suburb but there were some orange, lemon and avocado groves around (forty years ago, not now.)

Oh the wars we would have! And we were more often in a tree than not.
