Caps for guns

It was always cowboys and indians when growing up but as a cowboy you had to have caps in your gun.  Also rubbing a stone on them so they would make them go bang.

Plus always remember going Rhyl in north wales as this was the place for us stoke lot back in the 70s - early 80's and the seaside shops used to sell keyring cap guns.

You post some good stuff! I had those guns and that little rocket thingy.

 

 

Action Man. The first one I ever got was called 'Talking Commander'. Give him a pull, and then he'd talk.

Most action men I've pulled have moaned rather than talked. 

I actually had the same one, but he stopped talking after he'd been in the bath with me :(

oh so that's what that was for , I think when I played with my mates toy (rude stop that at the back now ) xD

that thing just span round and I wondered ,what's that supposed to be doing, (he must have lost the missiles)

I do remember that blade thing at the front flippin' out though when you pressed a button somewhere , maybe that silver cross thing in front the windscreen. I remember trying to press the red roof light but that isn't a button if I remember right lol.

 I don't remember owning one , we were so poor that ducks throw bread at me  xD
