Awesome. I especially like the copies of the Beretta Jetfire and Colt Woodsman pistols. Ah, back in the day when we could play with guns and it not be politically incorrect or get arrested for having a toy gun. Today somebody would call Child Protective Services if you were seen giving your kid one of these to play with! LOL!

I think that's part of the problem...WE played with the toy guns, shot each other every day, fell over the sofa or the bushes and no one got hurt.  The current generation likely never played with water pistols/cap pistols as kids and just started with the real thing instead.
