It used to be a kid could get a realistic looking gun that took caps and made a lot of noise. Nowadays, its practically illegal to let your children play with toy guns of any type. It is certainly frowned upon, and can get you ostersized out of some social circles. When I was a kid, we used hand-made sling shots to fire projectiles at moving cars.... or even more challenging... wet toilet paper (AKA "Splatting") or snowballs. Kids have it so easy these days...
