The Mattel rifles that you could load with plastic bullets with adhesive caps that would make a bang when shot and shoot out of the barrel.

I fondly remember a Zorro outfit - a black hat, black mask, and black cape, and a plastic sword with a piece of chalk on the tip so that we could put 'Z's on everything without doing permanent damage.
