Blaster from the Past

While I was returning to the car after servicing a customer, I noticed that one of the shops were dealing with MIC (Made in China) toys. The worker was sorting/processing the toys in front of the shop and so, with minutes to spare, we engaged in some small talk and one thing lead to another, I saw this toy gun.

Oh.. my.. Goodness..!

This was the very same I gun I used to play with when I was small! And I forgot all about it! During my time, the toy guns were usually separated into a few categories, from the single shot dart guns to the six-shooter cowboy guns to the water pistol. And this one, was something or a revolution.

This is THE gun for having the most ammunition at one go. You can beat the single shots and the six-shooters in terms of ammo count. (But we all know the dart gun fires the furthest and has the most kinetic energy of all). What you do is to manually load all the bullets into the ammo magazine until the spring cannot budge anymore. You then slam the magazine into the gun and you're ready. Unfortunately for me, I like to play alone and so, there is no gun fights or running about since my siblings were either too young to not interested at all.

I forgot how the gun came to be, but i have to assume it was from my Dad. The only thing I can remember about this was that I load the magazine, pulled the trigger and also taking it out and fantasizing about the design of the gun without the magazine. Unfortunately, because the magazine was long, I have to be very careful or I might twist it and break the gun as well.

Its now molded in transparent plastic so you can see the simple
mechanisms in it. I mean, at that time, it was magic! You just load
the magazine, and start pulling the trigger and as fast as you like too.
The original colour of the gun is black with the grips being reddish
brown and no, there is no wimpy red tip either.

The ammo magazine. See how the operation concept resembles
a modern pistol? I think you can stuff about 10 bullets inside
before the spring stops compressing. I have yet to open the
plastic packaging. Or maybe, I don't want to. Just display it
