The Rifleman

You loaded a plastic bullet into the casing, and the cartridge into the gun. When you fired the gun, the bullet would come out of the barrel. You could also put a cap onto the cartridge. The S.S. Winchester loaded like a real Winchester, and it even would eject the spent casings like one. It had a tab on the lever, that when folded down would engage the trigger. This allowed you to rapid fire the rifle, just like the Rifleman did! As I remember it, the accuracy in rapid fire was pretty poor, even at point blank range.

Could you imagine the screams if Mattel were to even try and market such toys nowadays?

Actually today Nerf makes rifles with magazines to load and fire. Bolt action rifles for their toy guns and even scopes. I wish I had those when I was growing up.

Heh, no kidding.
I got to hang out with some young kids who had those, and I probably enjoyed 'em more than they did.

The Maverick revolver and bolt-action magazine loading rifles are so badass.

If you look closely, the "rifle" is the basis for the sniper rifle and the "yet another rifle". The Sniper has a barrel extension which doubles as a standalone/underbarrel pump action single shot pistol as well as a scope which has no magnification, just a cool cross pattern and dot.

My buddy has a bunch of these including the sniper rifle, revolver, the belt fed as well as an older Nerf pistol, and two no name dartguns, one being a lever action and the other a mock double barreled shotgun, all of which are fun as hell. The last two require you to load the darts into cartridges which adds a spin of realism to the guns. Cool toys to have if you don't do airsoft or actual firearms.

Which was pretty much why I got into Airsoft.

Oh shit.
I need to be a kid again, or have some kids of my own.
STAT!
