The look! The feel! The sound! So real! Entertech!
Not sure if it's the particular one you're looking for, but the AK Centerfire coupled with the movie Commando was enough to give an 80's child a life long case of BRD. |

Ok strange request Figured someone here could help Looking for a pic of a battery powered water gun made mid 1980 or early 90's it was a ak or ar type pistol... the kicker is it was red and blue camo If anyone can find it i would appriciate it My son has somethingl similar to that but its not old it says "saturator" on it, and it takes 4 AA bateries in the rear panle, its an ak pistol... When I was a kid my father made me a squirt gun, all the kids had "super soakers", he machined me a simple polished aluminum pipe to fit inside a piece of 2 -1/2"PVC, with a soda bottle on the top of it with a check valve installed on the soda bottle, you filled the bottle, then screwed it into the pipe, and then pulled forward on the aluminum tube, that sucked the water out of the pipe and collapsed the bottle, then you just pulled the pipe back together and the water sprayed out.. It shot far and a lot of water... We were poor, but i had the best squirt gun.. |

The now defunct LJN Toys Inc. Entertech AK Centerfire. IIRC later releases were brightly colored after outcry that the orginals looked "too real". |

I had an Entertech that looked like a Tec-9. The ammo capacity was lousy though. Not much water was in those magazines. You'd get smoked by somebody with a 99 cent squirter.

They had to change colors because kids were getting shot by police Citation? Is an article better? The year....was 1988. And kids playing with toy guns were getting shot back then too. http://www.nytimes.com/1988/06/16/garden/after-3-deaths-realistic-toys-are-under-fire.html NYC actually dated back to 1955!
And I guess this works...Wikipedia... Entertech The short-lived success of Entertech was due to law enforcement officers who claimed to have mistaken toy guns to be actual firearms, killing children toting toy guns.[6] In addition, there were report incidents of criminals utilizing toy guns in robberies of retail establishments and even banks.[7]
 In the midst of these highly-publicized incidents, Entertech voluntarily began manufacturing their guns with blaze orange-colored caps in 1987, and began a line of less-realistic neon-colored guns later that year.[9][6]Now it doesn't say that an actual ENTERTECH was used in the ahhh....commission of a crime, but none the less, realistic looking toy guns. |

Even more realistic than the Entertechs were the Edison Giocattoli cap guns. They had plastic strip caps that actually ejected each spent cap when it fired. Another reason toy guns have a orange marker on them these days.

My parents sold the house I grew up in. The new owners turned it into a restaurant. One night last year we were eating there and the owner came up to me and said he thought he had something that belonged to me. He reached into his pocket and pulled out one of my favorite water pistols from the 70's! He found it in a concrete block wall.
It was a lime green 1911! I still have massive index fingers from shooting water guns growing up! |

I don't know if its the same brand but I had a lime green and blue camo Uzi. This was maybe '89
I also had a spy edition big wheel, had a full auto squirt gun that mounted on the handle bars. Operated by a thumb switch when mounted and by the trigger when unmounted, and had a gear shift that let out bubbles. This was around '87 |

I remember having one that was a neon blue, red, and green (or something like that) and it was a Colt Commando, but can't remember the name now for the life of me. I also had the MP5 PDW version with the same camo scheme. They were battery powered, and totally rad.
Thanks for the memories, OP. |
