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

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!

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.

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”.

[P.O.E.]

How about some Turkish Taffy with that?

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!!!

One of my best-remembered Christmas presents evah. I even became a relatively normal adult.
