Hi, Motley!
I'm very old school.
The Mattel "Fanner 50" cap gun. A functioning revolver based on the Colt "Peacemaker", that has sping loaded bullets that fired small plastic bullets.
There were also "Greenie Stick-On Caps" that were applied to the base of the bullets and made very loud "Bang!" each time the pistol's hammer hit the cap.
Mattel also made a full scale model of the M-16 rifle that didn't fire bullets, but made a lovely sound when the trigger was squeezed.
The Mattel "Marauder" was created and marketed through Mattel's contract with Colt Firearms Co. to make the real rifle's butt, foregrip and pistol grip during the heyday of the Vietnam war.

"There were also "Greenie Stick-On Caps"
They were called "Greenie Stickem Caps" and were for the Mattel "Shoot'n'Shell" line of pistols and rifles. The Shoot'n'Shell revolver was the coolest gun ever.

Ahhh, the old Fanner 50. I had one of those also but Mattel only made the holster for right handers. My father had a holster made for the left handed me....made by the Nocona Boot Company.
