At some point when we were too old to play with toy guns, they came out with these awesome Italian spring-powered guns that fired little yellow plastic bullets.
My brother and I both got one. There was a 4-shot spring loaded clip and a bolt on the side to load and cock the action. It had surprising range and was a lot of fun to shoot people with. I think we annoyed people in a three state area with those things. Eventually the bolt broke off and the guns quit working. I later bought a cap pistol that was built using a similar mold, but it wasn't the same.
The pistol came with a little catalog in six languages illustrated with spy-type photo montages and weird airbrushed art. The same outfit also released a pump-action sub-machine gun version that resembled a Beretta Model 12.
It's just as well they don't sell these things any more because I would totally buy one and shoot the cat with it, er, I mean, NOT ever think about shooting the cat with it when she misbehaves, no sir.
