4. If that ever made it to the moon, the astronauts would exit doing the drunken walk like kids do when twirled in a circle!!

   Oh, and DON’T tell me it would never make it out of Earth’s atmosphere … didn’t you ever watch Bugs Bunny? Bwwwaaaahahahahahaha

5. I was hoping for exploding fireworks at the top.
   That was cool though.
   The things they do in other countries.

7. Clausia,

   So Marvin Martian. He looked nothing like the “instant Martians”. Was he an early trans-species individual?

   What? No Earth shattering ka-boom?

13. Do any kids growing up now even know what caps are? Gimme a Mattel Fanner 50 and a roll of Greenie Stick’em caps and I’d be in kid heaven. Bam, bam, shoot em up, pow! Hi Ho Silver!

14. Neat idea; but, butt, astronauts would be like kids riding in a dryer.

15. when I was a kid we would always end up breaking/wearing out our cap guns, but would have already bought tons of caps in bulk. We had a blast rolling them out on the curb and detonating them with a hammer. Probably more fun, but you couldn’t pretend you were actually aiming to shoot anyone.

16. Magnifying glasses or even eyeglasses focused on caps at an angle on hot Summer days would also cause caps to explode. And you also could fry bugs by doing that as well.

17. I invented the parachuted whirligig.

18. Does anybody remember “Red Rats”?
    They were a bottle rocket without a stick.
    What could possibly go wrong with that?
    Getting chased by what you just lit.

21. Wild Bill, I may have to get one of those cap guns for my grandson when he gets to be a little older. Why the hell not, Holden and my son would love it. and if my 2nd granddaughter who has a great chance to be a tomboy like her grandmother would love it too.

22. M A, try and try again until you finally get it right. I loved watching all those rockets explode with the Blue Danube playing in the background.

23. @Wild Bill ~ had one of those pop guns when I was a kid back in the ’60’s
    it was metal & came w/ percussion-cap type caps that you mounted in the cylinder like the old percussion cap revolvers … had a louder sound than a cap (& without the red thingy on it … which made it look & sound quite a bit realistic)

24. I had a couple of those plastic string cap guns. A Walther PPK. You put the caps in the magazine and when you pulled the trigger the firing mechanism fired the cap and a razor blade cut and launched the previously fired cap. I also had a Mauser C96. The caps fed in the butt of that one, but the magazine held all the spare strings. And the hammer actually worked like a hammer.

25. Looks like the NASSA DEI program.

26. Chinese spy balloon. Send up F22’s to shoot it down.

27. This is what they mean by “dizzying heights”
