Back in the 40’s, you could go to the carnival and shoot an actual .22 rifle at targets.

Still existed in the 1970s.
Back in the 80’s you could shoot .22 at a carnival as I did in Phoenix.
We were at a wedding and afterwards my uncle instead of going back to the house decided to drive us to a carnival while still in our fancy duds.
I have an arcade .22, a 1927 Remington of St John design.
