Today's Christmas Toy Video

I don't happen to remember this product, but I wonder about the wisdom of having a toy able to shoot projectiles with caps so near to the hand. You might end up with five fingers after all.

One other observation: anyone else old enough to remember when commercials were at least a minute long? Nowadays a 30-second commercial is a long one; anything longer than that and the channel-hoppers will go to the next offering of chewing gum for the mind (as Newton Minow named TV).

That is an old toy. It was being sold in 1963, almost fifty years ago.

As for the danger, most caps I've seen were considerably less powerful than the material from a single paper match head, but I doubt the caps provided the propulsion (probably a spring) with the cap going off on impact.
