This is how we did reenactments in the 1960's

I had that setup and it sure was fun, did not figure it would lead to this.

What a trip down memory lane that was! To bad kids today can't do that now. I remember what fun it was to go to the park and join the other kids playing war.

Lol! I do believe I had one of those. It did not last long as it was fragile.

I had a version of that....007 pistol set with grenades and a derringer in the handle. Damn i miss good toys!!!

Thats it! Slight variation on the derringer, more rounded butt. Got it when I was living in South Africa. Brought it on the plane with me flying back. Ahhhhh...the good old days.

Man where were all those things when I was growing up?

Blame the soccer moms. Didn't want little Johnny playing with 'guns'.

Shoot we used to drink from garden hoses, eat mud pies, run around the neighborhood by ourselves and all kind of things kids aren't allowed to do anymore.

That sounded more playful and friendly than my childhood....

I was terrorizing neighborhood kids with my water balloons and my rubber band rifle during my Elementary and my first Intermediate school years. It all stopped when I met Playstation 2 and Grand Theft Auto. (The game, not the actual crime)
