Okay, showing my advanced age here, but some of the old cap guns were great. Especially those with the plastic bullets. Yes, they really did fly and boy, did they hurt. I am surprised me and my brothers can still see. . .
Air guns were great. Jam them into some damp soil and voila! Instant projectiles for CQB! |

This would cause a shitstorm if it was released today:
members.tripod.com/glenthorne/gilbert.html  "The most spectacular of our new educational toys was the Gilbert Atomic Energy Laboratory. This was a top job, the result of much experimentation and hard work. We were unofficially encouraged by the government, who thought that our set would aid in public understanding of atomic energy and stress its constructive side. We had the great help of some of the country's best nuclear physicists and worked closely with M.I.T. in it's development. There was nothing phony about our Atomic Energy laboratory. It was genuine, and it was also safe. We used radioactive materials in the set, but none that might conceivably prove dangerous. There was a Geiger-Mueller Counter. It was accurate; a carefully designed and manufactured instrument that could actually be used in prospecting for radioactive materials. The Atomic Energy lab also contained a cloud chamber in which the paths of alpha particles traveling at 12,000 miles a second could be seen; a spinthariscope showing the results of radioactive disintegration on a fluorescent screen; an electroscope that measured the radioactivity of different substances. I wish I had one as a kid.

Ahhhh, Lawn Jarts. The memories........
When we got bored with the Lawn Jarts we had dirt clod fights. The dirt clods were as hard as rock. Lots of clay in the soil. |

I remember having 5 BB guns myself and the other neighbor kids would come over with theirs and we would have 8-10 kids shooting everything we could and we had BB gun fights...nobody ever shot an eye out.
most toys now days are made so cheaply they break hurting the kids or else they are made of toxic materials that leech into your system. Remember those cars and trucks and trains with the sharp edges and pointy parts that you played with as a two year old? Steel axels, lead soldiers...neat things to suck on as a kid. |

I had a pellet pistol (believe it was a crossman) that was single shot break-top design. After maybe 200 shots it began to "slamfire". Breaking it open cocked it and you pushed 1 pellet into the chamber. Every 3rd or so time you closed the breech it would fire on it's own. I made the mistake of showing my dad and my pellet pistol disappeared. It was replaced by a BB gun that I couldn't for the life of me get to slamfire.

They did find a huge shipment of Cabbage Patch Kids that were stuffed with kerosene impregnated rags. They could have been forgeries, but one of the suppliers bought a couple metric tons of rags for stuffing and never bothered to check where they actually came from. |

When I was a kid, there was a toy called the Zero-M Blaster.
It was basically a black bazooka looking thing about 4" in diameter that you pumped and pumped like a pellet gun until it was full of compressed air. Then you pull the trigger and BOOM! It would put out a shock wave of air that would nock stuff off the bookshelf ten feet away. I still wonder how many kids of deaf because of that thing. Great toy though! Ed |

New from Hasbro! It is the bag of rusty nails!!! The most dangerous had to be anything that could make a mess on the carpet. While the toy might not kill you, the parental units certainly would.... |
