I had the AK Centerfire.

I also blame these guys for teaching a generation of kids that a magazine is a clip.

Ah the 80’s

I was a 90s kid so I had some Super Soakers. This was my favorite one:

I remember one of the kids got this one confiscated on the bus to school.

Could you imagine what would happen if you took that to a school today?

I have one of these Uzi water guns. It is around here in a box somewhere…

They didn’t even have orange caps on the front.

The motorized water guns were the best thing around until super soakers showed up.

I remembered those, and as I recall weren't kind of expensive for kids toys?

I had the AK Centerfire and I loved it. I think it broke pretty fast though as I don't remember having it for very long.

Playing with those "real looking guns" in public and seen/reported by a concerned neighbor could get you shot by the police these days. :eek:

No, unfortunately. I destroyed myself at an early age with Click Clacks and Jarts.
Ohh man, I remember I had some Kerbangers or ClackClicks or something like that in the early 80s. They had some kind of gunpowder like coating on them so they sparked and smoked when smashed together.

When I was about 15 I was out with some friends and for some reason one of them had a toy gun in the car we were in. As a joke when we picked up a buddy he jumped out of the car and pointed the little fake gun at him and yelled at him to get in the fucking car. We saw some lady peel out and do a u-turn and take off but didn't think anything of it. An hour later when we got back to my friends house who was driving, there were a half dozen cop cars there and about 10 officers waiting for us in the driveway :eek:

My pride and joy was this:

I finally killed it when I was about 19 by filling it with gas and using it as a makeshift flamethrower. It was one of the most awesome moments of my life, for about 3 minutes. Then the seals started leaking and I had to toss it in the fire before I was engulfed in flame.

I did the same thing, except I was 35.

And still didn't get shot, these days you would have likely been lit up with a hail of gunfire before even stopping the car.
