I loved the smell of the caps after they were discharged.

Cool toy with an unfortunate name.

Anything belt-fed scores major points for coolness.

Blows Super-soakers out of the water.. so to speak. ;-)

It's a WWI era ad. Massachusetts wasn't quite then what it is now. It's unfortunate.

We used a hammer and a full roll of caps. Played havoc with the neighbors with the bang.
