Yeah, toy guns were socially acceptable back then.
Not only that, but they had hard plastic bullets. My brother shot me in the eye with a plastic bullet from a Secret Sam Secret Agent kit.
The eye and I both survived.

I was only one! Wish I had one of those.

I was at the unfortunate age when the laws were changed that required all toy guns to have bright orange or red parts. I old had a couple of the cool looking toy guns of the past.
Quite a few have sold on ebay.
I want one! I’ll paint mine OD...
My friends and I would either remove that plastic plug or paint it black.
I so wanted that gun back then. And the Longest day D-Day set with tanks and LSTs, and oh, I could go on. . .
parsy, who remembers when Jim Bowie was an American hero
Gee, wish I had one of those in RVN.
:)
I had one of the Mattel M16’s
I Remember being confused by Mom’s dislike for the toy.
1969?
Man, I wish I had a gun with a gun in it :(
I also remember that we had cap guns that were made of real metal all the way through. The ones today just have a cheap aluminum cylinder and plastic the rest of the way through.
Back in the good ole’ days when America was actually afraid of Communists

My two holster rig Mattel Fanner-50’s were some of the finest weapons I’ve owned. I used mine to clean up Cimmarron Street.
I used to have a capgun that was a snub nosed .38 revolver. The only plastic on it was the grips and the annoying red plug in the muzzle. The cylinder swung out like a real .38 revolver. I think it may still be in a box...somewhere.
