Give Me a Gun or Somethin'! The Monster's At the Door!

[Type3Toys]

I had three....I guess it would depend on the Monster.....and what was in near reach....

I loved the Lone Ranger set and was rarely out of some western garb........




But you can't go wrong with the ol' trusty....

There it is! My favorite gun as a kid, the M-1

Naw.......Gary, ya can't be too down on today's kids. They are apart of their environment for sure, but the parents have alot to say about that environment.   I think of you as an example....... doesn't matter the time period, your kids will grow up with the best of love and family. That can be hoped of any kid in any era. Your lament of the 50's and early 60's  echoes the same words spoken by parents IN the 50's and 60's. Those parents could recall a childhood of the 20's and 30's.  It's all good, if we work at making it good.  Buddy

I'm not down on the kids of today, I just realize that childhood innocence is much shorter-lived than it used to be. The media cocoon we live in exposes them to more than we would like, sooner than we would like it. It's a shame.

Gary.....simple solution......you all come to Kansas......we move everyone into the basement.......no TV, no radio, no computer.........we play in the old toys, read old comics and magazines, and only come up if UPS has an E-bay toy delivery......oh....wait.....no computer= no more toys.......this may not work out.....Buddy

[Scatter]

Hey, sounds good to me!! You and I can use the computer. We're corrupted already.

There it is! My favorite gun as a kid, the M-1

Hey, thought I had one of those! As usual stacked under some stuff. This is a cool playset with an M-1 in it. Love those Snooper Scopes. Peaking up over the couch was the best reason for owning a coach! The M-1 is a cap-firing rifle with a 2 part bullet.   Buddy

Your gun collection deserves its own wall, thanks for sharing it!

[bigbud]

Jimm, You and Scatter come on over.  I'll arm myself with a  Topper OMA that has  bullets and bombs, give you guys acouple of my 98 cent clicker guns, and we'll go play War out in the field.  (Can't wait to bop the OMA's grenade missile off Scatter's noggin ...Heh-heh)  Love, Buddy

[Scatter]

You're gonna need more than that to splatter Scatter!

[bigbud]

There you are! Quit hiding behind those thin trees!

Here's the thing about the Crosman M-1 Carbine......looks are deceiving. See the ammo magazine attached to the rifle? Well, it holds plenty of BBs! But!......You see the lever sticking out from the gun? You see the 2 holes in the wood stock in front of that lever? What you do is take off the magazine from the rifle, pour out one....yes one BB, pull the lever back, this slides open the front hole into which you insert your one BB, you close the lever by pulling it back, you push the barrel into the spring tension until it clicks, then you are ready to fire. All that to get off a single shot while the BB gun looks like it would rapid fire for you! Nope!  Buddy

I bought one of those carbines way back in 1969 or so and still have it (and the box it came in). If you can only load one BB at a time, then something is wrong with it. The internal magazine holds 23 BBs. Make sure the barrel is tilted upwards when you pull the slide handle back and pour the BBs in the hole.

I've been looking for one of my old monster killers for years but haven't found one. It was a fullsize police-type revolver made out of black plastic. It came with five silver/grey plastic bullets that you loaded into the cylinder from the front. You pushed a bullet in against a spring in the chamber, then turned the cylinder to the next chamber and the front of the revolver frame held the bullets in place until you pulled the trigger and exposed a loaded chamber to the open barrel. We had several of these guns, and quickly lost the bullets, so we cut down pieces of crayons to the right length and made new bullets. Only problem was when a shot missed and hit the wall it left colorful evidence for our parents to find.

Anyone know who made these revolvers or what they were called? I think they were like $1 at Kresges or Murphy's stores in Pittsburgh.

Bruzilla.......you mean I can load 23 BBs into that little hole rather than just one? I haven't tried that. Sure it won't fire 23 BBs with one shot? That wouldn't be cool. I don't usually play with this stuff, but I might load 4 or 5 BBs to see what happens. But again, the magazine has no function on the Crossman M-1 but to store BBs, the BBs inside the magazine have no path to the gun barrel what-so-ever......Buddy

[bigbud]

Bruzilla! Thanks for putting me right on the M-1. That internal magazine make alot of sense. Now I know! Buddy

Man you just can't beat 7 SEVEN weapons in one!

[bigbud]

Jingle All The Way!  The Johnny Seven OMA is one sweet weapon! Nice set Creationwiz! I see you even have the white bullets. Have you had your OMA long? Buddy
