That’s cool! I remember the Johnny Eagle sets (wanted the “M-14”) and one toy maker who made a “.30 cal Browning”. It was belt fed.

They had some toy guns that “fired” those “stick ‘em” round caps and would shoot out a bullet. I guess everyone would wet their drawers if they saw those now. I grew up in a part of KY where you’d see folks wearing “pieces” in their holsters...and yet, not one massacre...go figure.

Man that brings back memories. When I was 4 or 5 I had one of these, a Marx Ma Deuce. (Mine was all OD green, not camouflage like in the video below.) I don't know what happened to it, but I sure went through a few blister packs of D cell "ammo" on Christmas morning!

Where I grew up in Northern Virginia the were numerous battles between cowboys and Indians along with full out assaults against “Jap” and “Nazi” positions every day. Weather and Moms permitting.
