Me want one!
Used to enjoy cap guns a lot. Probably too much so my parents stopped buying the caps.

Was that Otis from the “The Andy Griffith Show” playing the bad guy?

Cap guns! My favorite toy from childhood in the late 50s!
I can still remember saving my pennies so I could buy the little box that had the roll of red paper with tiny explosive “dots” on it, that you could feed into the gun.
I can also still smell the acrid but exciting gunpowder smell whenever you “got a shot off”.

I love that smell too. If the boys didn’t have a gun available, they would just use a rock. I should get a cap gun for one of my boys on his birthday.

I went through a lot of those cap rolls, but the pistol I really wanted, never owned, was a 6-shooter with a working cylinder that took round paper loads with 6 caps. I guess they came out just before Pearl Harbor. Wonder what one would bring from collectors today?

A few years back, I went to my parent’s house (both gone now). They grew a few thousand tomatoes more than the western hemisphere could consume and I had a ball shooting tomatoes from ever increasing distances. Daisy made great little guns.

My mother wouldn't let us have toy guns so we bought caps and smacked them with a hammer. Sooner or later we would lose patience with the singles so we would whack a whole roll. Invariable my mother would come running out of the house hysterically asking "what was that!!"
Later in life, I helped her get familiar with my father's .38 S&W. She was better than an OK shot.
