Did you own a cap gun ?

That's interesting The only ones I remember seeing came in a long red paper roll (similar to old movie tickets)

Yep, and when we didn't have a cap gun around we'd unroll the red paper and smash it with a hammer.

Great memories.

Had many, many cap guns. We figured out we could drop a cinder block on a full roll of the red paper ones and make quite a bang!

Also had the revolver type, and of course those fit in the Thunder Punch He-Man figure too!

I was armed to the teeth with cap guns; over the years, when I was a ittle boy. Had both the paper rolls and plastic round caps for them. At one point, I had some great cap guns by a company called Edson. I believe they were made in Italy or Spain. Very well made cap guns and rifles. The riffle and some of the handguns took unique plastic strip caps.

I have the Lionmatic. I use it for home defense since it looks like a real one, and I keep it in my nightstand. Even has the silencer and an extra clip.

I had a few roll cap guns when I was growing up. The first one that I remember having was the Gunsmoke "Marshall Matt Dillon" two-gun holster set. The holster and belt were leather and there were red studs on the holsters. The cap guns themselves had white handles. I remember wearing the holsters out until it fell apart and overused the cap guns until they wouldn't fire anymore.

I know that I had a few more after that but I can't remember a thing about them right now. I do remember getting the mini guns that fired the one-shot caps and a snub-nose revolver that fired the red plastic ring of caps. I hated those rings for most of them ended up being duds.

I remember using a hammer and a brick on the rolls of caps for the heck of it. I also had the torpedo that used one cap at a time.

I remember that one! Though, I didn't own it. Of course, it's another one of Edson's great cap guns.

I had so many cap guns as a kid. Space ones, cowboy style six-shooter ones, a Luger replica, etc.
