Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire You Can Tell It's Mattel: It's Swell!

Brother and I had these. Heck of a lot of fun but we could have shot our eye out. Much time looking for the plastic bullets we'd shot and double loading greenie stickem caps. Our first go at reloading.

I had a shooting shell pistol and rifle, and broke both of them. Still have my Fanner 50 that shot the roll caps, and the holster.

I got a Mattel rolling block Christmas 1963!!! Shot them little ctgs and greenie stickem caps real well.

I remember when cokes were a nickel

Remember those toy guns that shot those little plastic disks? I think it was marketed as a Star Trek Phaser. Very cool.

Here it is. Found it. I had one of these back around 1970.



I had several Colt SAA cap guns, too, but none that actually shot a projectile, other than one that shot rubber bands.

i remember when a lid was 30 bucks

Damn, that Mattel revolver musta been before my time!
I’d have never made it to adulthood if I’d had one!
7mm

Me and my brother both had the Mattel M16. Other than the magazine (which was oversized due to containing the sound effect mechanism) looked identical to the real one. No red tip, either. Wish I had preserved it. In good shape, they go for over $500.00 today.

You can still get one: ebay

That one is the basic cap gun version, though. The Shootin' Shell version is harder to find.

I wish I had my old cap guns. Also I had a sort of rifle that shot ping pong balls. Probably considered too dangerous today.

I used to hide in the clothes racks at the stores when mama shopped. Make her have to go page me from the customer service desk.

I would take straight pins out of the shirt collars and shove them
Into the crotch of women’s slacks hanging on the racks.

Mama used to tear my ass up

I had the Mattel shooting shell derringer in the belt buckle, aka Palidin style.

Mine.

That was some fancy gun spinnng for his age. You couldn't see his face. I'm guessing it was someone a bit older for that scene.

I remember when a lid was 15 bucks, 1/4lb 45.

I still got one. No discs though.

I had those twin Fanner 50’s with plastic bullets and greenies. They were freakin awesome.

I had the set that that came in. The rolling block rifle didn't shoot for tschidt as the bullet would lose all energy and sense of direction while bouncing from side to side down the barrel. The revolver didn't shoot much better. The little derringer shot quite well. Our living room always smelled like cap powder.

Yeah, but that was bunkweed. Nothing like the stuff they grow these days.
