This was a quality cap gun. Ate up caps as fast as a real one would use .45 ACP. At a nickel a box, learned to conserve ammo. Made of plastic, but still lasted until it was run over by a car.

>> This was a quality cap gun.

I actually HAD one of those. Neighbor gave my brother and I one apiece. You’re right about the durability.

Man, those were the days. I remember Johnny 7 and Secret Sam. I lusted after them but it didn’t happen — no birthday, no Christmas, nuthin’. I remember trying to knock off something similar to the Secret Sam — a Mattel Shootin’ Shell firing gizmo I built inside an old briefcase-like box I made. As I recall it didn’t work so well.

On the other hand I don’t even remember the “secret date” game even though it was of the same era. Maybe that’s a good thing!
