I remember drooling at the displays of realistic toy guns and holsters at the local toy stores, all of which I couldn't afford. Nonetheless, I did get a Daisey pop rifle which, with the addition of a little 3-in-1 oil down the "bore", would diesel and produce a thunderous bang (with flame).

Satisfying, and my little brother always knew to drop like a stone when he heard that bang, since that meant I got him.

Clots of sod in the barrel left no doubt as the the hit. The mark was there. Loved that Daisy “pop-gun”.

Oh, and in my neck of the woods when we hauled out the toy guns we called it playing men or playing war, very non-PC.
