Haha ain't that the truth.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![]()
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.Awww that's cool.
