As for being a weapon, a cap gun is a club.
It can’t actually launch a projectile.

Dennis Praeger said this morning that if the “weapon” had been “loaded,” ie caps ready to be set off, then it would have been considered an explosive device and the cops would have been called.
“It can’t actually launch a projectile.”
When I was a kid, we had these great cap guns that looked just like old Colt revolvers. There were “bullets” You had to open the cylinder, take out the “cartridge,” Pull out the “bullet,” and stick a round cap on them, and reassemble. You got 6 shots! Not a whole roll.
Well, the “bullets” had a hole in them, and I discovered that a BB fit into the hole perfectly! Instead of using one sticky cap, I’d use ten! It would fire the BB about a dozen feet, but with virtually no force behind it.
Those cap guns were cool because you had to optimize your shots, or you were shot, and ended up “dead” until the count of 50.
