I remember back in 87. A kid walked into my 3rd class to bring a note to the teacher. He had the G1 Megatron tranformed into a pistol. The teacher put her hands up and jokingly said please don't shoot me. We all laughed, including the teacher. He then showed the class how to transform it. Such didfferent times.
No megaton for Australia, banned man. We all had prime, starscreem and sound wave. Thanks lameass mothers. How can u play transformers with out megaton? Remember the pastey kid with the weird square mom. It as them
Is it any wonder that when you buy a Megatron toy now, he transforms into damn near anything BUT a gun. He's now been a tractor-trailer, a tank, a jet plane, a T. Rex, etc., but his Walther P-38 gun mode is never coming back. Those old G1 Megatron toys must be worth a mint now, especially with the original box.
Oh Shnappp! LMFAO!!!!!!! I had a Megatron pistol too!!! I always transformed mine into the gun mode! I got in trouble for bringing it to school and got suspended because they though it was a real gun! My dad was pissed at me! I told him it was just a toy@! He was the one that bought it for me!🤣🤣That's how stupid he is! Oh man this is by far the best comment ever.
Back in the day we all had toy guns we would be running around the back yards, parks, ravines and jumping off garages . Mostly cap guns . Most of us had western colt revolvers and a few Winchester rifles for playing cowboys and other cowboys . Then all kinds of WW2 styles for playing war . far as i know none of us ever grew up to go on a rampage . Dang I even had a air rifle at my cottage. Never shot my eye out either.
I remember when all the big department stores put out their Christmas catalogs they would feature an entire section devoted to toy guns. Everything from cap pistols to BB guns. Westerns were big when I was a kid, and every western hero had a distinctive gun and replicas were marketed to the kids. I had The Rifleman's quick fire Winchester rifle, Wyatt Earp's long-barreled Buntline Special, the snub-nose 38 shown in the video, and the Have Gun Will Travel play set that featured black leather holsters for the pistols and matching derringer - each with the silver knight chess piece emblem. It also came with a set of "Have Gun, Will Travel - Wire Palladin, San Francisco" calling cards. Parents today would lose their minds if they could see some of the stuff that was considered perfectly reasonable kid's toys back in the day.
The pity of the metal cowboy six shooters was that the paper rolls of caps would eventually rot the metal they were made from. I also had the Winchester and I could spin it around just like Chuck Connors, so very cool.
Megatron was awesome!!! I used to have that toy and always transformed him into a gun! Man those were awesome days in the 80's! Remember the pop guns too?! They even had refill bullets in plastic red refills. The actual toy gun actually had metal in it to pop the gun powder in the refills. Man I miss those days. I used to have a Soundwave Cassette player too! I could play my cassettes on his chest!
80's kid here (born in '79) and my friend had many of those you showed including the Rambo gun! I've been trying to remember for the longest time. I remember the removable parts but couldn't recall what toy line. They also had an M16 for that line too. I didn't get any toy guns until the early 90's as they turned into more colorful ones but I did have a red and blue 92F Beretta cap gun with removable magazine. There was also the electronic, desert colored M16 and beretta that the slide recoiled. So many memories.
I remember having a toy M-16, that made the rattling rumbling sound when you pulled the trigger. Though mine was in an olive green. Also had a western style rifle made of wood and metal.
I had several toy guns having been born in the mid 70's The key ring guns, I had them all. A store like walmart called Howard's had a bolt action rifle with a brass shell you could load and unload. I wish I still had that one.... My favorite scifi gun came from TG&Y it was the Kusan Sonic Fazer Space Gun. I also had the twin Roy Roger's cap gun revolvers with the belt and hat. Holy shit they were awesome, made from metal, the caps always shot off. You could go through a roll of caps in no time.
Yeah now a days if you where a kid they would scream if they got shot with a Airsoft and point to the tiny little bruise that really does not hurt, run inside and go play fortnite
...and huge piles of dirt in our neighborhood - a 'development' in the process of being 'developed'....lotza clods of hard packed dirt that made great 'hand grenades' to recreate the episode of 'Combat' that had aired the previous night...
The thing you called a “kickstand” is the bipod that you didn’t know what they were talking about. I had an Entertech M-16 when I was a kid and that thing was AWESOME! No stupid bright orange or green on that thing! The good old days!
We had a lot of toy guns back then. Kid across the street had everything Star Wars. Of coarse he had the best guns too.He had this one that you put in a brief case and had a spy camera. It's was called Secret Sam. He had the best pull back and fire life size M-16 as well. I'm not sure the brand but it sounded the best and looked the best. I had many but the Parris wood trainer rifle had a spring action bullet that looked like it loaded when you did the bolt. We'd get the whole neighborhood to play guns. We'd dress in anything camoflauge. We played that if someone shot you, you had to lay down and die for 10 seconds, then you were a new guy.
All the kids on our block used to play War also, my best friend's mom used to work for the Quartermaster and she would always get us surplus gear, and and camouflage. We used to play in a two-block radius, the good guys were the Stormtroopers and the bad guys were the Pirates, we all used to even walk into McDonald's with our M16s strapped to our backs. i wish we had go pros back then..we had so much fun..
Yeah, I had a M-16 that made a machine gun sound when you pulled the trigger. Fun fact, the real M-16s plastic parts were made by Mattel when I was in the Marines.
@@pappafett9826 now in McDonalds when you carry toy guns Karen is going to scream at the top of her lungs "OH MY GOD THEY HAVE A GUN CALL THE POLICE WE'RE IN DANGER SIR GET THAT GUN AWAY FROM YOUR KID OH MY GOD"
I grew up in the 60s. The Johnny Eagle guns were the best toy guns. One was called the Luietenant. It looked like an M14. It had hard plastic bullets to fire. Great toy.
I had the Magumba elephant gun and the shotgun to shoot the flying disks. I got the the Magumba for Christmas… after picking off a few Christmas balls from the tree. I lost that for a bit.. lol mom, was the sheriff in town while dad would laugh. Had a huge arsenal in the 60s cowboy guns, army guns, Cold War guns… Secret Sam, Zero M. We had a blast running around the neighborhood!!
I had a machine gun that converted to a rifle, beltfed, pistol, and had a rifle grenade that could be rigged as a hand grenade or a booby trap. Later on I learned about the Stoner and poly valent grenades. LOL, in the Army I realized my toy was based on the M60.
I've been a "gun nut" all my life. Had most of the toy ones you showed, plus some you didn't. Also had a BB gun when I was 3 and a .22 by the time I was 10 or 12. I grew up in the late '60s and '70s, and things were certainly a lot different then than now. Always got new toy guns at Christmas and birthdays, and real ones once I was old enough.
When I was four, my first bike my dad camouflaged and mounterd a removable camo Thompson Maxine gun… life was good… lol. I wasn’t allowed the bb for awhile. But learned to shoot .22 around six. We learned a deep respect for real ones early!!
I used to love those generic disc shooters. They were cheap, they were everywhere. Due to the way these discs were spun when shot, you could ricochet the discs off walls and floors. In narrow hallways, we could get the discs to bounce from wall to wall. Another toy gun, I can remember (although not realistic looking) was the ARCO Ping Pong toy gun. This thing used to shoot lightweight, ping pong sized balls. Distance was not great, but those were much easier to find than the spinner discs or sucker darts.
During the 80s, I loved going to my Grans house as I got to play with my Uncles Jonny Seven OMA that he got in the 60s. All the ammo (rockets grenades and bullets) had been lost for years but was still amazing to play with (and bloody huge as well)
I had an entertech battery powered uzi water gun. That thing looked real with removable water filled clips. It was awesome for neighborhood water fights in the summer.
I never played with a lot of guns as a kid, except of course Han's blaster. I remember having a large black submachine gun that you could use to project images of ghosts on a wall and then actually riddle them full of holes. I had a silver .25 auto that I liked a lot, and a very realistic looking toy revolver that got me into a LOT of trouble at school. Oh, and that watergun is definitely not an Uzi. The Rambo rifle is cool, but I think the A-Team one looks better.
I remember that submachine gun. It was sort of hinged in the middle so you can move the barrel left and right and project those images...but the barrel was as big as a flashlight lol.
That was called the "Ghost Gun" by Hasbro they made in black then white. It was also called a "Monster Gun" but "GHOST GUN" toy gun Hasbro will help you find the videos of them on youtube. They had a light source for a projector, that batteries were in the detachable magazine with the lamp on top that went in the gun, It would roll the transparent film through the gun with black ink monsters and ghosts that created shadows on the wall from gun projecting the image on that film roll. Meet the expandable item that was hard to get, worse than batteries to get your parents to buy you. . As you moved the rear half of the gun around to aim that controlled with needle rod would punch holes in that plastic film roll, you could look at after words to see how many you hit. Reusing the "ghost/Monster film a few times before the holes from previous cause it to tear completely apart. You could the used film patch with clear tape but that made it hard for the film to feed through the gun. There were different color boxes for the different types of monsters or ghost combinations on the film rolls, so you could choose which monsters of the night you were hunting. I hope that fills in any missing info and helps you find the samples on line, because it was one of the coolest toy "GHOST GUNS" out there, every time I hear ghost now, it saddens me a little that It isn't about the real ghost gun and now I can rebuy a treasured piece of my childhood. We had room in the house with no windows out side a bathroom downstairs that the bonus of white walls. I would lock myself in there cramming towels under the bottom door crack and now in my dark room firing up the ghost gun and do matter with the monsters in the dark, or shot down the nazi planes... My crowd in the neighborhood and at school played we were B17 gunners flying over Germany shooting down nazi planes, always room for another gunner in that plane and splashes those "german" planes was being a good american..... As all your toy guns did double duty with imagination to fit with other play.
@@jeffburnham6611 kthe name you're looking for Hasbro "Ghost Gun" which came in Black then a plastic white body also sold under "Mosnter Gun" same concept magazine had the batters with flashlight buld on top when insert in the gun let up that moving tape reel that monsters, ghosts and other night creatures printed on it, that there shadows would move across you flashing/guns field of vision so you had react fast by pulling that trigger that activated a needle that punched a whole through the dark area so you could see the light in the hole knowing "you got a hit", without having to pull out the fill and look at your kill reel of your gun cam. Which mine doubled up as being a gun being fired from Bomber, so my gun cam film was important proof of "muh kills of those monsters"
The old greedy mouse, lol. Man, toy guns were way cooler in the 80s than they are now. I played a lot war growing up. Then, I played the real thing in 2003 as an infantryman in the Marine Corps. Ooh Rah!
Yes the Rambo m60 was my favorite! Bought on with my allowance! Wasn’t a very solid gun cause all the pieces were not tight plastic, I’d say within a month it was broken, we had gun wars in my apt complex, i was always the heavy gunner lol
Back in the '60s I remember having an all metal, "correct" cowboy cap gun. It came with a fake leather belt, a holster, also fake leather, a badge and a really neat cowboy hat. Mom still has some old 8mm home movie footage of me playing with the set and being chased onto the porch by an angry mockingbird. I remember the TV ad "chant," "M-16, M-16, the greatest gun you've ever seen!"
I remember finding this super realistic looking toy Uzi at a flea market for like $2. I had a big collection of toy guns because my friends and I were always running around having shootouts, so I grabbed it. Apparently the gimmick was you were supposed to put some kind of oil in it and it would give off smoke while it was 'firing', but the electronics didn't work and I didn't have any oil for it. The gun had a holster strap and everything, no red barrel tip. One day I was (stupidly) walking up the road carrying it and a woman pulled up beside me and started freaking out, asking if it was a real gun. At the time I thought it was funny but in hindsight I'm surprised I didn't get the cops called on me. Though it was the 90s so the world hadn't gone completely crazy just yet. I also had this really awesome NERF Bazooka. It was huge and shoulder mounted, just like a real rocket launcher. It had a gigantic foam rocket and a warning label telling you not to shoot it at people or pets (which, of course, we completely ignored as we would constantly shoot each other with it). It had a pump action lever that you had to pump like 20 times, then when you fired it off it would make a loud boom and vibrate, giving you an actual sense of recoil, as it launched the big foam rocket with pretty considerable force. I really loved that toy but sadly the three foam rockets eventually tore up (as you might expect) and I couldn't find replacements for them.
Entertechs were my favorites. They were outlawed so fast..alot of kids got shot by cops over them looking real....very short lived...2nd favorite was my G1 Megatron
the coolest toy gun i ever had was a cap gun that looked like a machine gun. you'd load a roll of caps in it, turn a winder and pulled the trigger and it kept firing those caps until it ran out of caps...it one day finally broke and i remember being so mad it was broken...i have looked in countless antique stores and garage sales but i never saw another one...that was about 50 years ago...it's the one toy i wish i still had...
I had the A-Team M-24...got it for X-mas 85 or 86. It was one of my favorites. My dad used to buy me all sorts of toy guns, and then I grew up to own a gunshop...who would have guessed??? My all time favorite was a kids version of a 50 cal that had spade grips and it ran on batteries, it would feed strips of caps from one side through the other like a belt of ammo...I thought I was the Rambo of the neighborhood with that thing. I would have liked to have that Rambo M-60....it even came with THE knife and a red headband!!!
Nice vid! Brings me back to the good old days! Now, toy guns don't even look like what they're supposed to look like. Cool trip down memory lane! Keep up the good work Junkman!👍
13:24 the kickstand IS the bipod. As a child of the 70's I had a Winchester that had the circular lever like the Rifleman on TV had. I also had a Greasegun that fired bullets and I used pieces of pencils when I had lost the bullets. I had a tommygun with a handle that could be wound to make gun firing noises, what a time to be alive.
I had the Uzi water gun. It was a lot of fun. And when I was really young, I had a Star Trek phaser that looked like the one in the video that had a light, but this one didn't light up and instead shot out those little round discs. I remember it came in a playset with a toy tricorder and communicator.
Another GREAT video! I remember back in late 70’s KB toys had a display case upfront on the counter with replica cap guns, badges, handcuffs etc. My favorite was my brown colored metal and plastic 38 special with my shoulder holster also a snap on silencer I carried that everywhere it would fire those round capes that came on a plastic ring also back around same time maybe couple years later the toy company Edison made some awesome toy guns check them out 😉 And who doesn’t remember those M-16’s from K-mart the generic ones that would break after the first battle! Lol 😂
Do you remember the plastic red bulled loads for the plastic guns?? They had 6 rounds for each round and would come in a pack of 8. I used to get them at my corner market. They were plastic and had to be placed inside the toy gun to shoot blanks. All it did was sound like a firecracker. This was from the 1980's. The toy gun actually had a metal spike in it to pop the bullets. Man those things were discontinued so fast it was great though. I miss the 80's.
I've always thought the orange cap could be used in reverse by criminals attaching the orange cap to a real gun loosely so that it would easily blow off once the real gun is fired. A little bit of that sticky stuff to hold posters to the wall would easily hold that cap on to a real gun. Giving someone a false pretense of safety as someone to walk up in broad daylight and take someone out.
Me and my friends would play Lazer Tag and use the whole neighborhood. We usually played at night and it was a blast. You'd probably get in some pretty serious trouble doing that these days.
My boys have 1860 Colt Army cap guns that we bought while visiting Gettysburg and they really enjoy those. They're about half size of an actual Colt Army and use the orange tip but other than that it looks proportionally correct. We also picked up a blue and gray kepi caps. You can still find good cap guns out there.
They made another V rifle/ pistol combination that's exactly like the one from the TV show, but it was marketed as "ROBOTECH laser rifle target game". I still have it to this day and use it for my V Shock Trooper costume.
My childhood was the 60s. In 1960 I was a toddler. In 1970 I was approaching puberty. TV was my babysitter. My all-time favorite toy was G.I.Joe, but I had all the guns , too. We weren't rich, but my parents were indulgent. If I saw it on TV or in the Sears catalog, they would buy it for me.
We had a few of those toy guns here in the UK in the 80’s which is funny when you think of our gun laws, I actually remember having that Uzi or something very much like it, it was pricey & my dad bought it for me when Toys R Us first came to our city late 80’s, also the reason I clicked the video hoping it would be on here. There was also a Paint gun Uzi too I think which is what I originally wanted but had to settle on the water pistol version.
Awsome video! Brought back memories! I remember coming across some sort of 6guns in1 toy gun at ToysRus. It started out as a pistol and you added pieces to make different guns until it was an M16. My parents would not get it for me. Thought it was so cool. I hope I wasnt dreaming cause I cannot find it anywhere on the internet.
Fun fact: 13:09 on the top left you can see the Plasma Rifle from the original Doom game. The muzzle is on the right, and the tan section is the left (black in this one). It's pointed to the right (backwards from the direction when the toy is assembled). This is the prop they used to make the sprites.
Here's an interesting fact. The Star Wars blasters from Episode IV were, in fact REAL GUNS . The Han Solo blaster pistol is a WWI era broomhandle Mauser that had nothing more than a conical muzzle break|\flash suppressor added to the end of the barrrel. The stormtrooper blaster was a British Sterling submachine gun from WWII that was cut apart and had the magazine well rotated 45 degrees. Alot of other actual firearms were also featured. Some Include the Whitney Wolverine, which was a .22, came on the market and labeled the " Buck Rogers" gun because it did look very futuristic. Even in the series The Mandalorian, ALL of the guns the Tusken Raiders bear are old Lawence of Arabia era rifles. Even Mandos rifle is of this veriety. Well ...There's some helpful hints to all you guys who like to build screen accurate props.
so dunno if you will see this @That Junkman but way back in the late 80s early 90s i had a friend that had a couple of the sweetest toy guns ive ever seen, and now that im older its next to impossible to find them, or something similar. they were a multi-part assault rifle style, decent weight to them, they werent bb or dart, they actually had no projectiles or electronics, just pop em together, could "load them" removeable clip, and working racking system. and they werent plastic. since its been the better part of 30 years i was hoping someone else out there has seen them or knows about them
Did I miss it in this video?...or did you forget about one of THE top three coolest toy guns I was in love with as a kid: the Yancy Derringer Belt Buckle cap gun! It was designed to look like a fancy semi-reliefed belt buckle UNTIL you watched it swing out 90º on a hinge from its flat position embedded in the buckle to fire in the facing direction you were standing - which you could activate just by pushing your stomach out! AND you could also detach it from the buckle and just use it as a derringer! UPDATE: I must of had some alternate/later version which I can't find any record of, as the original actually fired plastic bullets. But I clearly remember fitting a tiny roll of caps in my Derringer, though it eventually stopped working altogether after I removed it from the buckle a few times.
Back in the 60’s. We would go to the Army and Navy surplus store. My dad got me a replica of an M1 Grand drill rifle. Didn’t shoot any thing. Sold wood and metal. Pull back the charging handle and it showed a painted gold bullet. I had a complete set of fatigues, and my mom sewed my rank on. Then in fifth grade my brother was in the navy. So he got me the complete Navy outfit,even with his MOS,Rank and ship tape. I remember learning to tie a square knot for the black tie. Taping the back of it with masking tape. I use to go to MayPort Jacksonville Naval station. To meet my brother. When they would come back. From being at sea. U.S.S. Allen M. Sumner DD692
In my collection of toy guns i had the Bravestarr blaster pistol had a lot of fond memories of that one. The police revolver was a medium sized cap pistol. Last but not least was the V lazer gun from the TV show exactly like the ones the visitors carried, but the gun was painted red instead of black due to the safety rules here in England.
12:00 That's a Intratec TEC-22: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intratec_TEC-22 This is an Uzi: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzi Also the folding bipod is a "kickstand" for the gun. It attached to it on the lower front.
I still have the Tec-22 Scorpion. that thing never worked right from the first day .. it Was the first real pistol i bought now it just sits in my safe.😞
I can’t believe you left out the Johnny 7 OMA, the one man army! My sister bought one for my Christmas present in ‘63 or ‘64! It shot hard plastic bullets that hurt like hell! I can’t tell you how many times my mom took it away for shooting my little sister! I got into a ton of trouble with that magnificent weapon! You can see the TV ad here on UA-cam! 1 pistol 2 rifle 3 machine gun 4 anti tank gun 5 mortar 6 Tommy gun 7 wish I could remember gun! With Johnny Seven OMA, you charge! The ad is hilarious to me now, but back then, I was a ruthless killer!
I didn’t get to experience those times, now I collect toy water guns because I really like toy guns that look like the ones in the 70s and 80s, and water guns are probably the closest things that look like those old toys.
I just Loved Toy Guns. I can remember my Mum saying to me, I`m sure you`re going to be a Cowboy when you grow up 🤣🤣 One of The coolest I ever had was called a Johnny Seven. Happy Days
I had the Bravestar Neutra-laser and the Laser Tag gun. I loved them because the actually looked like the guns from their respective cartoons. Also the GI Joe laser tag was pretty cool too
Here's something to consider - toy guns are worse off these days because video games take their place in kids' imaginations. You've got Call of Duty and Battlefield with highly detailed models, fully accurate animations, hell even the sounds are replicated. Especially with Virtual Reality getting all the more popular too. Thankfully for us "bigger kids" the air gun market is still alive and well. I have no desire to get a real gun, and couldn't even if I wanted to, but plenty of lovely pellet pistols.
I donated a number of wooden 3/4th size dummy 1903 Springfield Rifles to a Hunter Education program. The idea was to instill the concept of muzzle discipline when conducting wood walks, shoot/don't shoot ethical shots, and entering watercraft, etc.
Only way that kid in the thumbnail can look even more like an early 80's badass is if he had a pack of Newports in the box rolled up into his muscle sleeves.😁
Once the batteries died, we never bothered using the Entertech guns as water guns, because they looked great alongside the homemade guns my friend's dad made for us with pipes and wood. We even had gun slings, and tons of sheds to hide in and go "pew pew pew" at each other. Damn, those were good times!
I remember the Edson Toys cap guns in the early 80's. They had lead weights and the cap-driver was HUGE so the gun kicked when you pulled the trigger. They had strip caps so you could fire 30-50 caps before you hand to load more and they had red barrel tips waaaay down in the barrel so it looked as much like a real gun as possible. All the cool kids in my neighborhood had them.
In 1965 I had what appeared to be a portable radio but, when you click the button on the side it was transformed in an automatic rifle that you loaded with caps and the cap roll would go off producing light smoke. I had The Man From U.N.C.L.E. gun. I had the James Bond suitcase gun, it fired plastic bullets from within the suite case.
I'm 70 so my first toy guns were the Colt Peacemakers from the Westerns. Then, shows like "Combat" made Colt 1911s, tommy guns, and bazookas popular. I also remember having a miniature Luger and a double-barreled shotgun.
When I was a kid EVERY GUN WAS A RAMBO GUN 😀 even if it only cost 50p, my grandad made the best most durable toy rifles out of bits of scrap wood. We made peg guns, sling shots and working longbows back in the 80's. Most of the plastic shop bought toy guns used to get broken very quickly as I remember.
Born in 57. My all-time fav was the Johnny Eagle carbine (either a M-1 or 14, can't remember). The bullets were weak but you'd usually lose them quickly anyways. I always played the cop!
Good old BB Guns. A dying art, nowadays, however.... EDIT: Holy crap! You featured the Rambo First Blood Pt II M60 toy that was used as the model for the plasma rifle and BFG from Doom!
I found your video looking for that m60. Memory serves it was about 85-86 I got one that wasnt rambo branded. Same exact model without the rambo stuff. Right down to the duel triggers on the rear. I was so excited because I loved guns and it had so many realistic features. A friend and I setup a birds nest in the covered stairway pretending to keep the attackers at bay.
About 1963 I had an M-14 that made the shooty noises. A friend of mine had an even better rifle: a full size plastic M-1903-A3. The bolt worked lie the real thing, and it had a stripper clip of ammunition you could load into it. I also had the Tommy Burst Dick Tracy set with the "Shootin' Shell" snubby .38. Min had a hip holster instead of the shoulder rig. I have to beg to differ with you though, on the alleged safety of the Shootin' Shell guns. Like everyone told Ralphie in "A Christmas Story", you really COULD shoot an eye out! I had several friends who walked around with eye patches because somebody shot them with it.
Had a toy pistol with holster that came in handy for playing cowboys and Indians. And of course, I went through those cheap translucent plastic water pistols like there was no tomorrow. Now as a collector, I picked up a shooting game that Ideal made in the mid 70's called Tin Can Alley, where you had a toy shotgun that shot a beam of light at a target, and if you hit it, a fake tin can would pop up. And lest we forget one of the coolest "toy" guns around -- BB guns! I would set up discarded beer and soda cans in my backyard and shoot BB's at them all day long, and I could always go to the local hardware store to buy cartons of BB's when I ran out. There's another relic of my 80's childhood that today's kids will never see!
Around 1979 or 80 I had the star trek Phaser that shot those thin semi hollow plastic multicolor discs. You would attach them to the front squeeze the trigger and the tip of the phaser rotated so the disc was released in a spinning motion.
The Rambo guns were cool but the coolest 80s toy gun was the larami commando strike force kg9 bullet blaster. It shot rubber yellow bullets and looked exactly like the real thing. I collect them. Maybe I will donate 1 for the the junk man's collection in appreciation of all the awesome videos. I have a bunch of larami cap guns on card I will dig one out for you next time I go to my storage. I love the channel ! It's very nice to hear about toys after a crappy day and get cheered up from good old nostalgia! Thanks again for the laughs and great memories
There were numerous guns from the 1960's-1980's, and the neighborhood would all get together and have our own little wars. From the cap firing western revolvers, to the long rifle from the game 'Tin Can Alley', to the M-1 with an interior wooden cartridge attached to the bolt so you could "chamber" a round. But, my all-time favorite was the Kentucky Rifle from the Daniel Boone TV show. It had a removable ramrod and fired little cork balls once you put a percussion black powder cap on the pan. Didn't take long for the parents took it away because those little suckers stung when you got hit by them lol.
Lol, I think I still have a metal and wood flintlock gun that would a shoot cork balls from caps. I remember getting it at Williamsburg Virginia on a family vacation history trip. My family did a lot of that on the east coast. Good memories.
I had one of those disk shooter guns. Had a toy gun that had a clip you filled with red pill sized bullets and it fired em! Really cool. The M16's, The A TEAM AK47! The UZI like SNAKE EYES had.. There were these black Metal realistic guns with clips you could put plastic strips in that linked together..with firing caps! Man those cost alot but were bad ass! Thanks for the memories..
I had a battery sound making Uzi and played Delta Force, humming the theme from the movie while running around the neighborhood. I also had a black Beretta water gun that had a removable "clip". I think that they still make that toy gun today, but in wacky colors.
Anyone remember "Zap It" water guns that came with color changing ink in the water. I had one of those that looked like an UZI. Once the included red disappearing ink ran out, it was just a regular water gun, but it was still cool.
Zebra was a great little toy gun. Everybody had one. Nobody that I know of ever choked on a rubber ball or got hurt from a disk . Now, the air plane that shot from a gun with a spinning propeller , that hurt but didn't cause an injury.
Another good fun video sir- thank you! Honorable mentions- Megatron or Shockwave? Takara in Japan had several other transforming guns including 1 that was friends with a kid.
When I was a kid, there was a doubble barreld shotgun cap gun rifle... Ooo, boy did I wantet that darn rifle! The caps looked like small R12 batteris, and you stuffed them down in a shotgun like shell. Never got it thou, but I clearly remember one parret complaining about it to the toy store costumer service, claiming _it wasnt loud enought_ ... WOW, THATS A COOL PARENT! 😁
I remember around the mid-'80s they had those guns that shot the yellow rubber bullets. I loved those guns. You could get bigger clips or whatever. I made card houses and shot them down, and spent hours with my cousins shooting each other with yellow bullets.
Wow! Great time to be a kid. The cops even knew that they were toys and we never had a problem. I really loved those "burp" guns. The ones like in the 60s commercial where you pulled back the handle , then you would pull the trigger and it made a loud rattling sound. Good Times
I remember back in 87. A kid walked into my 3rd class to bring a note to the teacher. He had the G1 Megatron tranformed into a pistol. The teacher put her hands up and jokingly said please don't shoot me. We all laughed, including the teacher. He then showed the class how to transform it. Such didfferent times.
Nowadays the teacher would shoot the kid in the face and get away with it, depending on what state, like Florida.
Man! I miss those good old days. Toy guns rocked!
No megaton for Australia, banned man.
We all had prime, starscreem and sound wave. Thanks lameass mothers.
How can u play transformers with out megaton?
Remember the pastey kid with the weird square mom. It as them
Is it any wonder that when you buy a Megatron toy now, he transforms into damn near anything BUT a gun. He's now been a tractor-trailer, a tank, a jet plane, a T. Rex, etc., but his Walther P-38 gun mode is never coming back. Those old G1 Megatron toys must be worth a mint now, especially with the original box.
Oh Shnappp! LMFAO!!!!!!! I had a Megatron pistol too!!! I always transformed mine into the gun mode! I got in trouble for bringing it to school and got suspended because they though it was a real gun! My dad was pissed at me! I told him it was just a toy@! He was the one that bought it for me!🤣🤣That's how stupid he is! Oh man this is by far the best comment ever.
I'm just old enough to remember toy guns before they were forced to put the brightly colored barrels on the end.
Me too.
I still have a few Mattel cap guns that shoot caps and shells. But I can't find any shell replacements.
Back in the day we all had toy guns we would be running around the back yards, parks, ravines and jumping off garages . Mostly cap guns . Most of us had western colt revolvers and a few Winchester rifles for playing cowboys and other cowboys . Then all kinds of WW2 styles for playing war . far as i know none of us ever grew up to go on a rampage . Dang I even had a air rifle at my cottage. Never shot my eye out either.
I remember when all the big department stores put out their Christmas catalogs they would feature an entire section devoted to toy guns. Everything from cap pistols to BB guns. Westerns were big when I was a kid, and every western hero had a distinctive gun and replicas were marketed to the kids. I had The Rifleman's quick fire Winchester rifle, Wyatt Earp's long-barreled Buntline Special, the snub-nose 38 shown in the video, and the Have Gun Will Travel play set that featured black leather holsters for the pistols and matching derringer - each with the silver knight chess piece emblem. It also came with a set of "Have Gun, Will Travel - Wire Palladin, San Francisco" calling cards. Parents today would lose their minds if they could see some of the stuff that was considered perfectly reasonable kid's toys back in the day.
...the annual SEARS Christmas catalog!!!
...born Nov 49 - golden sages of TV westerns & toy guns
The pity of the metal cowboy six shooters was that the paper rolls of caps would eventually rot the metal they were made from. I also had the Winchester and I could spin it around just like Chuck Connors, so very cool.
When they started putting the orange caps on the barrels, my friends and I just cut or popped them off.
Also +1 for a Bill and Ted reference
glad someone got that joke
Megatron look real when he was transformed. Those were the days when you could have tou guns and not feel like you're gonna get shot.
I remember having black isuzis with sound and shotguns! Those were the days!
Some dude in Florida almost got arrested for holding one of those outside his house
Megatron was awesome!!! I used to have that toy and always transformed him into a gun! Man those were awesome days in the 80's! Remember the pop guns too?! They even had refill bullets in plastic red refills. The actual toy gun actually had metal in it to pop the gun powder in the refills. Man I miss those days. I used to have a Soundwave Cassette player too! I could play my cassettes on his chest!
I miss those days...
Sup sword friend
Nothing like running through the neighborhood screaming I shot you you're dead. Those were the days.
Yep, it was the kid's "honor code", lol.
"I hit you!"
"No you didn't I dodged it!"
"NO WAY I HIT YOU!"
@@Karemaker Lol right or "You missed"
Lol, I miss those days.
The 80's Rocked! Great time to be a kid.
Man I agree with you! The 80's were the BEST!!!
@@j.d.contreras392 The 90 and some years After 2000...
80's kid here (born in '79) and my friend had many of those you showed including the Rambo gun! I've been trying to remember for the longest time. I remember the removable parts but couldn't recall what toy line. They also had an M16 for that line too. I didn't get any toy guns until the early 90's as they turned into more colorful ones but I did have a red and blue 92F Beretta cap gun with removable magazine. There was also the electronic, desert colored M16 and beretta that the slide recoiled. So many memories.
I remember having a toy M-16, that made the rattling rumbling sound when you pulled the trigger. Though mine was in an olive green. Also had a western style rifle made of wood and metal.
I had several toy guns having been born in the mid 70's
The key ring guns, I had them all. A store like walmart called Howard's had a bolt action rifle with a brass shell you could load and unload. I wish I still had that one.... My favorite scifi gun came from TG&Y it was the Kusan Sonic Fazer Space Gun. I also had the twin Roy Roger's cap gun revolvers with the belt and hat. Holy shit they were awesome, made from metal, the caps always shot off. You could go through a roll of caps in no time.
TJ&Y were the best stores back in the day!!!! I still have a few key chain cap guns!!$
I remember Howard’s and TG&Y. Those were the days.
Had the sonic phaser too it was awesome
Toy guns and playing army with your friends in the empty neighborhood lots was EPIC!
And when your out of state cousins showed up with bottle rockets it was on.
@@pauljoyner4338 I still have the burn scars from countless bottle rocket salvos! 🧨
Yeah now a days if you where a kid they would scream if they got shot with a Airsoft and point to the tiny little bruise that really does not hurt, run inside and go play fortnite
...and huge piles of dirt in our neighborhood - a 'development' in the process of being 'developed'....lotza clods of hard packed dirt that made great 'hand grenades' to recreate the episode of 'Combat' that had aired the previous night...
The thing you called a “kickstand” is the bipod that you didn’t know what they were talking about. I had an Entertech M-16 when I was a kid and that thing was AWESOME! No stupid bright orange or green on that thing! The good old days!
We had a lot of toy guns back then. Kid across the street had everything Star Wars. Of coarse he had the best guns too.He had this one that you put in a brief case and had a spy camera. It's was called Secret Sam. He had the best pull back and fire life size M-16 as well. I'm not sure the brand but it sounded the best and looked the best. I had many but the Parris wood trainer rifle had a spring action bullet that looked like it loaded when you did the bolt. We'd get the whole neighborhood to play guns. We'd dress in anything camoflauge. We played that if someone shot you, you had to lay down and die for 10 seconds, then you were a new guy.
I looked up the M-16, it was from Mattel "Marauder". It was from the 60's. His dad must have gotten it from the flea market.
All the kids on our block used to play War also, my best friend's mom used to work for the Quartermaster and she would always get us surplus gear, and and camouflage. We used to play in a two-block radius, the good guys were the Stormtroopers and the bad guys were the Pirates, we all used to even walk into McDonald's with our M16s strapped to our backs. i wish we had go pros back then..we had so much fun..
Yeah, I had a M-16 that made a machine gun sound when you pulled the trigger. Fun fact, the real M-16s plastic parts were made by Mattel when I was in the Marines.
@@pappafett9826 now in McDonalds when you carry toy guns Karen is going to scream at the top of her lungs "OH MY GOD THEY HAVE A GUN CALL THE POLICE WE'RE IN DANGER SIR GET THAT GUN AWAY FROM YOUR KID OH MY GOD"
I grew up in the 60s. The Johnny Eagle guns were the best toy guns. One was called the Luietenant. It looked like an M14. It had hard plastic bullets to fire. Great toy.
I had the Magumba elephant gun and the shotgun to shoot the flying disks.
I got the the Magumba for Christmas… after picking off a few Christmas balls from the tree. I lost that for a bit.. lol mom, was the sheriff in town while dad would laugh. Had a huge arsenal in the 60s cowboy guns, army guns, Cold War guns… Secret Sam, Zero M. We had a blast running around the neighborhood!!
I had a machine gun that converted to a rifle, beltfed, pistol, and had a rifle grenade that could be rigged as a hand grenade or a booby trap. Later on I learned about the Stoner and poly valent grenades. LOL, in the Army I realized my toy was based on the M60.
I've been a "gun nut" all my life. Had most of the toy ones you showed, plus some you didn't.
Also had a BB gun when I was 3 and a .22 by the time I was 10 or 12.
I grew up in the late '60s and '70s, and things were certainly a lot different then than now.
Always got new toy guns at Christmas and birthdays, and real ones once I was old enough.
When I was four, my first bike my dad camouflaged and mounterd a removable camo Thompson Maxine gun… life was good… lol.
I wasn’t allowed the bb for awhile. But learned to shoot .22 around six. We learned a deep respect for real ones early!!
I used to love those generic disc shooters. They were cheap, they were everywhere. Due to the way these discs were spun when shot, you could ricochet the discs off walls and floors. In narrow hallways, we could get the discs to bounce from wall to wall. Another toy gun, I can remember (although not realistic looking) was the ARCO Ping Pong toy gun. This thing used to shoot lightweight, ping pong sized balls. Distance was not great, but those were much easier to find than the spinner discs or sucker darts.
During the 80s, I loved going to my Grans house as I got to play with my Uncles Jonny Seven OMA that he got in the 60s. All the ammo (rockets grenades and bullets) had been lost for years but was still amazing to play with (and bloody huge as well)
13:50 that kick stand is called a bi pod
I had my dad's toy guns from the 60s and they were awesome!!! I remember around the early 90s they started looking goofy.
I had an entertech battery powered uzi water gun. That thing looked real with removable water filled clips. It was awesome for neighborhood water fights in the summer.
I remember the water gun Uzi, I never owned one because my mom was like" you won't me to give you how much money, for a water gun " ?
I had that, too!
I never played with a lot of guns as a kid, except of course Han's blaster. I remember having a large black submachine gun that you could use to project images of ghosts on a wall and then actually riddle them full of holes. I had a silver .25 auto that I liked a lot, and a very realistic looking toy revolver that got me into a LOT of trouble at school. Oh, and that watergun is definitely not an Uzi. The Rambo rifle is cool, but I think the A-Team one looks better.
I remember that submachine gun. It was sort of hinged in the middle so you can move the barrel left and right and project those images...but the barrel was as big as a flashlight lol.
That was called the "Ghost Gun" by Hasbro they made in black then white. It was also called a "Monster Gun" but "GHOST GUN" toy gun Hasbro will help you find the videos of them on youtube. They had a light source for a projector, that batteries were in the detachable magazine with the lamp on top that went in the gun, It would roll the transparent film through the gun with black ink monsters and ghosts that created shadows on the wall from gun projecting the image on that film roll. Meet the expandable item that was hard to get, worse than batteries to get your parents to buy you. . As you moved the rear half of the gun around to aim that controlled with needle rod would punch holes in that plastic film roll, you could look at after words to see how many you hit. Reusing the "ghost/Monster film a few times before the holes from previous cause it to tear completely apart. You could the used film patch with clear tape but that made it hard for the film to feed through the gun. There were different color boxes for the different types of monsters or ghost combinations on the film rolls, so you could choose which monsters of the night you were hunting.
I hope that fills in any missing info and helps you find the samples on line, because it was one of the coolest toy "GHOST GUNS" out there, every time I hear ghost now, it saddens me a little that It isn't about the real ghost gun and now I can rebuy a treasured piece of my childhood.
We had room in the house with no windows out side a bathroom downstairs that the bonus of white walls. I would lock myself in there cramming towels under the bottom door crack and now in my dark room firing up the ghost gun and do matter with the monsters in the dark, or shot down the nazi planes... My crowd in the neighborhood and at school played we were B17 gunners flying over Germany shooting down nazi planes, always room for another gunner in that plane and splashes those "german" planes was being a good american..... As all your toy guns did double duty with imagination to fit with other play.
@@jeffburnham6611 kthe name you're looking for Hasbro "Ghost Gun" which came in Black then a plastic white body also sold under "Mosnter Gun" same concept magazine had the batters with flashlight buld on top when insert in the gun let up that moving tape reel that monsters, ghosts and other night creatures printed on it, that there shadows would move across you flashing/guns field of vision so you had react fast by pulling that trigger that activated a needle that punched a whole through the dark area so you could see the light in the hole knowing "you got a hit", without having to pull out the fill and look at your kill reel of your gun cam. Which mine doubled up as being a gun being fired from Bomber, so my gun cam film was important proof of "muh kills of those monsters"
The old greedy mouse, lol. Man, toy guns were way cooler in the 80s than they are now. I played a lot war growing up. Then, I played the real thing in 2003 as an infantryman in the Marine Corps. Ooh Rah!
Yes the Rambo m60 was my favorite! Bought on with my allowance! Wasn’t a very solid gun cause all the pieces were not tight plastic, I’d say within a month it was broken, we had gun wars in my apt complex, i was always the heavy gunner lol
Back in the '60s I remember having an all metal, "correct" cowboy cap gun. It came with a fake leather belt, a holster, also fake leather, a badge and a really neat cowboy hat. Mom still has some old 8mm home movie footage of me playing with the set and being chased onto the porch by an angry mockingbird.
I remember the TV ad "chant," "M-16, M-16, the greatest gun you've ever seen!"
Hmm, "that junkman" lol, UA-cam algorithm brought me here. Anyways, I had plenty of toy guns until my first .22 and the rest is history.
I remember finding this super realistic looking toy Uzi at a flea market for like $2. I had a big collection of toy guns because my friends and I were always running around having shootouts, so I grabbed it. Apparently the gimmick was you were supposed to put some kind of oil in it and it would give off smoke while it was 'firing', but the electronics didn't work and I didn't have any oil for it. The gun had a holster strap and everything, no red barrel tip. One day I was (stupidly) walking up the road carrying it and a woman pulled up beside me and started freaking out, asking if it was a real gun. At the time I thought it was funny but in hindsight I'm surprised I didn't get the cops called on me. Though it was the 90s so the world hadn't gone completely crazy just yet.
I also had this really awesome NERF Bazooka. It was huge and shoulder mounted, just like a real rocket launcher. It had a gigantic foam rocket and a warning label telling you not to shoot it at people or pets (which, of course, we completely ignored as we would constantly shoot each other with it). It had a pump action lever that you had to pump like 20 times, then when you fired it off it would make a loud boom and vibrate, giving you an actual sense of recoil, as it launched the big foam rocket with pretty considerable force. I really loved that toy but sadly the three foam rockets eventually tore up (as you might expect) and I couldn't find replacements for them.
I had those disk shooters to!
If you were born before 1980 we all had at least 1.
I used to put pennies in mine
@@robertlong6027 Me too....They didn't go nearly as far
Entertechs were my favorites. They were outlawed so fast..alot of kids got shot by cops over them looking real....very short lived...2nd favorite was my G1 Megatron
Entertechs were fucking dope! Best water guns ever made in water gun history! Super soakers couldnt touch them!
@@HiddenPalm i remember the sound they made...thought I was freaking Rambo
the coolest toy gun i ever had was a cap gun that looked like a machine gun. you'd load a roll of caps in it, turn a winder and pulled the trigger and it kept firing those caps until it ran out of caps...it one day finally broke and i remember being so mad it was broken...i have looked in countless antique stores and garage sales but i never saw another one...that was about 50 years ago...it's the one toy i wish i still had...
The 80s Entertech water Uzi were beyond cool. I always wanted one at the time but alas....Vintage ROTJ had my full attention!
I had the A-Team M-24...got it for X-mas 85 or 86. It was one of my favorites. My dad used to buy me all sorts of toy guns, and then I grew up to own a gunshop...who would have guessed??? My all time favorite was a kids version of a 50 cal that had spade grips and it ran on batteries, it would feed strips of caps from one side through the other like a belt of ammo...I thought I was the Rambo of the neighborhood with that thing. I would have liked to have that Rambo M-60....it even came with THE knife and a red headband!!!
Nice vid! Brings me back to the good old days! Now, toy guns don't even look like what they're supposed to look like. Cool trip down memory lane! Keep up the good work Junkman!👍
@Mateo De Lara I'm betting you weren't alive during the 1970s! 🤩
That disc gun (Tracer. Made by Rayline, who also made the Zebra II) was also a Star Trek gun for a while. It even came in a rarely seen rifle version.
13:24 the kickstand IS the bipod. As a child of the 70's I had a Winchester that had the circular lever like the Rifleman on TV had. I also had a Greasegun that fired bullets and I used pieces of pencils when I had lost the bullets. I had a tommygun with a handle that could be wound to make gun firing noises, what a time to be alive.
I had the Uzi water gun. It was a lot of fun. And when I was really young, I had a Star Trek phaser that looked like the one in the video that had a light, but this one didn't light up and instead shot out those little round discs. I remember it came in a playset with a toy tricorder and communicator.
Another GREAT video! I remember back in late 70’s KB toys had a display case upfront on the counter with replica cap guns, badges, handcuffs etc. My favorite was my brown colored metal and plastic 38 special with my shoulder holster also a snap on silencer I carried that everywhere it would fire those round capes that came on a plastic ring also back around same time maybe couple years later the toy company Edison made some awesome toy guns check them out 😉
And who doesn’t remember those M-16’s from K-mart the generic ones that would break after the first battle! Lol 😂
I lhad an A-Team Uzi. Loved it!
What happened to it
Do you remember the plastic red bulled loads for the plastic guns?? They had 6 rounds for each round and would come in a pack of 8. I used to get them at my corner market. They were plastic and had to be placed inside the toy gun to shoot blanks. All it did was sound like a firecracker. This was from the 1980's. The toy gun actually had a metal spike in it to pop the bullets. Man those things were discontinued so fast it was great though. I miss the 80's.
I've always thought the orange cap could be used in reverse by criminals attaching the orange cap to a real gun loosely so that it would easily blow off once the real gun is fired. A little bit of that sticky stuff to hold posters to the wall would easily hold that cap on to a real gun. Giving someone a false pretense of safety as someone to walk up in broad daylight and take someone out.
I thought that too growing up.
Me and my Cousin had the Entertech Waterhawk squirt guns that ran on 4 AA batteries, it was awesome!!
Me and my friends would play Lazer Tag and use the whole neighborhood. We usually played at night and it was a blast. You'd probably get in some pretty serious trouble doing that these days.
My boys have 1860 Colt Army cap guns that we bought while visiting Gettysburg and they really enjoy those. They're about half size of an actual Colt Army and use the orange tip but other than that it looks proportionally correct. We also picked up a blue and gray kepi caps. You can still find good cap guns out there.
1982, 3rd grade we used to bring metal throwing stars to school and toss them at trees and each other.
They made another V rifle/ pistol combination that's exactly like the one from the TV show, but it was marketed as "ROBOTECH laser rifle target game". I still have it to this day and use it for my V Shock Trooper costume.
I had that P38 too. If I recall, you could actually pull the triggers on those guns.
My childhood was the 60s. In 1960 I was a toddler. In 1970 I was approaching puberty. TV was my babysitter. My all-time favorite toy was G.I.Joe, but I had all the guns , too. We weren't rich, but my parents were indulgent. If I saw it on TV or in the Sears catalog, they would buy it for me.
We had a few of those toy guns here in the UK in the 80’s which is funny when you think of our gun laws, I actually remember having that Uzi or something very much like it, it was pricey & my dad bought it for me when Toys R Us first came to our city late 80’s, also the reason I clicked the video hoping it would be on here. There was also a Paint gun Uzi too I think which is what I originally wanted but had to settle on the water pistol version.
The paint Uzi was the Zappit Uzi....it had disappearing ink in it. Too cool...
Awsome video! Brought back memories! I remember coming across some sort of 6guns in1 toy gun at ToysRus. It started out as a pistol and you added pieces to make different guns until it was an M16. My parents would not get it for me. Thought it was so cool. I hope I wasnt dreaming cause I cannot find it anywhere on the internet.
Fun fact: 13:09 on the top left you can see the Plasma Rifle from the original Doom game. The muzzle is on the right, and the tan section is the left (black in this one). It's pointed to the right (backwards from the direction when the toy is assembled). This is the prop they used to make the sprites.
Here's an interesting fact. The Star Wars blasters from Episode IV were, in fact REAL GUNS . The Han Solo blaster pistol is a WWI era broomhandle Mauser that had nothing more than a conical muzzle break|\flash suppressor added to the end of the barrrel. The stormtrooper blaster was a British Sterling submachine gun from WWII that was cut apart and had the magazine well rotated 45 degrees. Alot of other actual firearms were also featured. Some Include the Whitney Wolverine, which was a .22, came on the market and labeled the " Buck Rogers" gun because it did look very futuristic. Even in the series The Mandalorian, ALL of the guns the Tusken Raiders bear are old Lawence of Arabia era rifles. Even Mandos rifle is of this veriety. Well ...There's some helpful hints to all you guys who like to build screen accurate props.
so dunno if you will see this @That Junkman but way back in the late 80s early 90s i had a friend that had a couple of the sweetest toy guns ive ever seen, and now that im older its next to impossible to find them, or something similar.
they were a multi-part assault rifle style, decent weight to them, they werent bb or dart, they actually had no projectiles or electronics, just pop em together, could "load them" removeable clip, and working racking system. and they werent plastic.
since its been the better part of 30 years i was hoping someone else out there has seen them or knows about them
Did I miss it in this video?...or did you forget about one of THE top three coolest toy guns I was in love with as a kid: the Yancy Derringer Belt Buckle cap gun!
It was designed to look like a fancy semi-reliefed belt buckle UNTIL you watched it swing out 90º on a hinge from its flat position embedded in the buckle to fire in the facing direction you were standing - which you could activate just by pushing your stomach out!
AND you could also detach it from the buckle and just use it as a derringer!
UPDATE: I must of had some alternate/later version which I can't find any record of, as the original actually fired plastic bullets.
But I clearly remember fitting a tiny roll of caps in my Derringer, though it eventually stopped working altogether after I removed it from the buckle a few times.
Back in the 60’s. We would go to the Army and Navy surplus store. My dad got me a replica of an M1 Grand drill rifle. Didn’t shoot any thing. Sold wood and metal. Pull back the charging handle and it showed a painted gold bullet. I had a complete set of fatigues, and my mom sewed my rank on. Then in fifth grade my brother was in the navy. So he got me the complete Navy outfit,even with his MOS,Rank and ship tape. I remember learning to tie a square knot for the black tie. Taping the back of it with masking tape. I use to go to MayPort Jacksonville Naval station. To meet my brother. When they would come back. From being at sea. U.S.S. Allen M. Sumner DD692
In my collection of toy guns i had the Bravestarr blaster pistol had a lot of fond memories of that one. The police revolver was a medium sized cap pistol. Last but not least was the V lazer gun from the TV show exactly like the ones the visitors carried, but the gun was painted red instead of black due to the safety rules here in England.
12:00 That's a Intratec TEC-22: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intratec_TEC-22
This is an Uzi: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzi
Also the folding bipod is a "kickstand" for the gun. It attached to it on the lower front.
I still have the Tec-22 Scorpion. that thing never worked right from the first day .. it Was the first real pistol i bought now it just sits in my safe.😞
@@pappafett9826
I've only ever owned '46 S&W M&P 38. But I am a gun enthusiast so I know a lot about guns.
Had the one that shot little discs..me and my cousin used pennies as well..it worked! Had the swat team set also..cool video!
I can’t believe you left out the Johnny 7 OMA, the one man army!
My sister bought one for my Christmas present in ‘63 or ‘64!
It shot hard plastic bullets that hurt like hell!
I can’t tell you how many times my mom took it away for shooting my little sister! I got into a ton of trouble with that magnificent weapon!
You can see the TV ad here on UA-cam!
1 pistol
2 rifle
3 machine gun
4 anti tank gun
5 mortar
6 Tommy gun
7 wish I could remember gun!
With Johnny Seven OMA, you charge!
The ad is hilarious to me now, but back then, I was a ruthless killer!
I didn’t get to experience those times, now I collect toy water guns because I really like toy guns that look like the ones in the 70s and 80s, and water guns are probably the closest things that look like those old toys.
I just Loved Toy Guns. I can remember my Mum saying to me, I`m sure you`re going to be a Cowboy when you grow up 🤣🤣 One of The coolest I ever had was called a Johnny Seven. Happy Days
I had the Bravestar Neutra-laser and the Laser Tag gun. I loved them because the actually looked like the guns from their respective cartoons. Also the GI Joe laser tag was pretty cool too
I had a lever action Henry cap gun with wood stock and metal barrel. Was one of my fav's for a long time.
Here's something to consider - toy guns are worse off these days because video games take their place in kids' imaginations. You've got Call of Duty and Battlefield with highly detailed models, fully accurate animations, hell even the sounds are replicated. Especially with Virtual Reality getting all the more popular too.
Thankfully for us "bigger kids" the air gun market is still alive and well. I have no desire to get a real gun, and couldn't even if I wanted to, but plenty of lovely pellet pistols.
I had the secret Sam briefcase , the Johnny 7 gun , the western revolvers and riffles almost all of the guns from early 60s great memories
We grew up at the best time to be a kid, before parents got overprotective and wouldn't let their kids do anything on their own.
I donated a number of wooden 3/4th size dummy 1903 Springfield Rifles to a Hunter Education program. The idea was to instill the concept of muzzle discipline when conducting wood walks, shoot/don't shoot ethical shots, and entering watercraft, etc.
hope your sons doing fine man!!full recovery
Thx for all the entertainment Junkman! Your son will be in my prayers God bless🙏❤
All my western 6 shooters were metal and I have a couple of them still. The kid next door had a Johnny Seven rifle and he was king of the hill.
Only way that kid in the thumbnail can look even more like an early 80's badass is if he had a pack of Newports in the box rolled up into his muscle sleeves.😁
Nope, bubblegum cigarettes.
Once the batteries died, we never bothered using the Entertech guns as water guns, because they looked great alongside the homemade guns my friend's dad made for us with pipes and wood. We even had gun slings, and tons of sheds to hide in and go "pew pew pew" at each other. Damn, those were good times!
I remember the Edson Toys cap guns in the early 80's. They had lead weights and the cap-driver was HUGE so the gun kicked when you pulled the trigger. They had strip caps so you could fire 30-50 caps before you hand to load more and they had red barrel tips waaaay down in the barrel so it looked as much like a real gun as possible. All the cool kids in my neighborhood had them.
The 1960s were a Golden Age Of Toy Guns
In 1965 I had what appeared to be a portable radio but, when you click the button on the side it was transformed in an automatic rifle that you loaded with caps and the cap roll would go off producing light smoke. I had The Man From U.N.C.L.E. gun. I had the James Bond suitcase gun, it fired plastic bullets from within the suite case.
I'm 70 so my first toy guns were the Colt Peacemakers from the Westerns. Then, shows like "Combat" made Colt 1911s, tommy guns, and bazookas popular. I also remember having a miniature Luger and a double-barreled shotgun.
When I was a kid EVERY GUN WAS A RAMBO GUN 😀 even if it only cost 50p, my grandad made the best most durable toy rifles out of bits of scrap wood. We made peg guns, sling shots and working longbows back in the 80's. Most of the plastic shop bought toy guns used to get broken very quickly as I remember.
Weirdly when Rambo entered the world of mortal Kombat they didn’t give rambo his gun they focus on the fact he’s a master Archer .
Born in 57. My all-time fav was the Johnny Eagle carbine (either a M-1 or 14, can't remember). The bullets were weak but you'd usually lose them quickly anyways. I always played the cop!
Good old BB Guns. A dying art, nowadays, however....
EDIT: Holy crap! You featured the Rambo First Blood Pt II M60 toy that was used as the model for the plasma rifle and BFG from Doom!
I found your video looking for that m60. Memory serves it was about 85-86 I got one that wasnt rambo branded. Same exact model without the rambo stuff. Right down to the duel triggers on the rear. I was so excited because I loved guns and it had so many realistic features. A friend and I setup a birds nest in the covered stairway pretending to keep the attackers at bay.
There was a set of Star Trek toys that had a phaser that shot the disc's, then a tricorder and communicator
Gohner had the best realistic looking guns in the 80s even the water shooting one.
About 1963 I had an M-14 that made the shooty noises. A friend of mine had an even better rifle: a full size plastic M-1903-A3. The bolt worked lie the real thing, and it had a stripper clip of ammunition you could load into it. I also had the Tommy Burst Dick Tracy set with the "Shootin' Shell" snubby .38. Min had a hip holster instead of the shoulder rig. I have to beg to differ with you though, on the alleged safety of the Shootin' Shell guns. Like everyone told Ralphie in "A Christmas Story", you really COULD shoot an eye out! I had several friends who walked around with eye patches because somebody shot them with it.
Had a toy pistol with holster that came in handy for playing cowboys and Indians. And of course, I went through those cheap translucent plastic water pistols like there was no tomorrow. Now as a collector, I picked up a shooting game that Ideal made in the mid 70's called Tin Can Alley, where you had a toy shotgun that shot a beam of light at a target, and if you hit it, a fake tin can would pop up. And lest we forget one of the coolest "toy" guns around -- BB guns! I would set up discarded beer and soda cans in my backyard and shoot BB's at them all day long, and I could always go to the local hardware store to buy cartons of BB's when I ran out. There's another relic of my 80's childhood that today's kids will never see!
Around 1979 or 80 I had the star trek Phaser that shot those thin semi hollow plastic multicolor discs. You would attach them to the front squeeze the trigger and the tip of the phaser rotated so the disc was released in a spinning motion.
The Rambo guns were cool but the coolest 80s toy gun was the larami commando strike force kg9 bullet blaster. It shot rubber yellow bullets and looked exactly like the real thing. I collect them. Maybe I will donate 1 for the the junk man's collection in appreciation of all the awesome videos. I have a bunch of larami cap guns on card I will dig one out for you next time I go to my storage. I love the channel ! It's very nice to hear about toys after a crappy day and get cheered up from good old nostalgia! Thanks again for the laughs and great memories
There were numerous guns from the 1960's-1980's, and the neighborhood would all get together and have our own little wars. From the cap firing western revolvers, to the long rifle from the game 'Tin Can Alley', to the M-1 with an interior wooden cartridge attached to the bolt so you could "chamber" a round. But, my all-time favorite was the Kentucky Rifle from the Daniel Boone TV show. It had a removable ramrod and fired little cork balls once you put a percussion black powder cap on the pan. Didn't take long for the parents took it away because those little suckers stung when you got hit by them lol.
Lol, I think I still have a metal and wood flintlock gun that would a shoot cork balls from caps. I remember getting it at Williamsburg Virginia on a family vacation history trip. My family did a lot of that on the east coast. Good memories.
I had one of those disk shooter guns.
Had a toy gun that had a clip you filled with red pill sized bullets and it fired em! Really cool.
The M16's, The A TEAM AK47!
The UZI like SNAKE EYES had..
There were these black Metal realistic guns with clips you could put plastic strips in that linked together..with firing caps! Man those cost alot but were bad ass! Thanks for the memories..
I had a battery sound making Uzi and played Delta Force, humming the theme from the movie while running around the neighborhood.
I also had a black Beretta water gun that had a removable "clip". I think that they still make that toy gun today, but in wacky colors.
Anyone remember "Zap It" water guns that came with color changing ink in the water. I had one of those that looked like an UZI. Once the included red disappearing ink ran out, it was just a regular water gun, but it was still cool.
Zebra was a great little toy gun. Everybody had one. Nobody that I know of ever choked on a rubber ball or got hurt from a disk . Now, the air plane that shot from a gun with a spinning propeller , that hurt but didn't cause an injury.
Another good fun video sir- thank you! Honorable mentions- Megatron or Shockwave? Takara in Japan had several other transforming guns including 1 that was friends with a kid.
When I was a kid, there was a doubble barreld shotgun cap gun rifle...
Ooo, boy did I wantet that darn rifle! The caps looked like small R12 batteris, and you stuffed them down in a shotgun like shell.
Never got it thou, but I clearly remember one parret complaining about it to the toy store costumer service, claiming _it wasnt loud enought_ ... WOW, THATS A COOL PARENT! 😁
I remember around the mid-'80s they had those guns that shot the yellow rubber bullets. I loved those guns. You could get bigger clips or whatever. I made card houses and shot them down, and spent hours with my cousins shooting each other with yellow bullets.
I grew up in the 60s. We had the best guns!!! I had an M14 that looked like a real one. Loved it.
This brings back memories especially the man from uncle gun .
Waither P38 was the James Bond gun from Goldfinger! We all loved that one when we were kids.
Wow! Great time to be a kid. The cops even knew that they were toys and we never had a problem.
I really loved those "burp" guns. The ones like in the 60s commercial where you pulled back the handle , then you would pull the trigger and it made a loud rattling sound.
Good Times
Edison Giocattoli made some AWESOME space guns in the 80s
Totally had the regular guns from Edison, those things were almost as heavy as a real gun, always picked those first when playing in the neighborhood!
