What's happened to Zeroin Forums?

Awww that's cool.  And reminded me of my toy gun collection... 

  • A Mauser 98-style rifle with a working bolt and dummy cartridges that it could eject.   That was so cool that when I started to outgrow it I cut off the butt plate and made a wooden extension for it.
  • An SLR that fired little grey plastic bullets (Airfix again!  Mine was all black but here's the wooden stock version, surprisingly realistic looking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFye5s3qrlc)
  • I pestered my dad into making me a Sten and an Mp40 too.  As he was good at woodwork and DIY they came out very well
  • Three plastic kit replica pistols from either Tamiya or LS, they were 1:1 scale... I had a .25 ACP auto, a Python .357 Magnum and a P38.  All with dummy bullets and working actions.  They must have been quite sturdy as I can't remember them breaking to the point I couldn't glue them back together.



Blimey, what goes around comes around... regressing back to childhood... well over 50 years old and playing with toy guns again :)
Haha ain't that the truth.

I'll take your slr cause I had one as well but I will raise you a 'Man from Uncle' hard briefcase. It had a knife that ejected from the side when secret button was pressed and the whole case unfolded into a rifle. There was also a radio inside.

I thought I was proper cool walking Down high street with it. Lol. I was only about seven.

Regards ?

Actually it was a Raleigh with rod brakes and a fixed sprocket. Going downhill you had to take your feet off the pedals other wise you would be going up and down like a jockey on Angel dust lol
