Can’t recall the name, but I had a gun that took cartridges. The cartridge had a brass case in which you put one of the round caps and a pot metal bullet on top. The bullet had a through hole to let the bang out. A BB would go in the hole, and I put a bit of aluminum foil over to hold it in. Behold! I had what was technically a firearm!
Don’t tell the antis but these will fire about half the time with a cap and ball revolver.Remember the red rolls of caps. A couple in your cap gun and you could shoot all day.
No more. Cap gun control.
Oh, yeah! I had both a "six-gun" and a lever-action rifle; I think they were made by Hubley. The rifle was a pain, though. It ejected the cartridge so well, you had to search the yard for them, and the two pieces never stayed together.Can’t recall the name, but I had a gun that took cartridges.

About the closest you get to something like that is NAA Minis. And no doubt, "Mattel" inspired. Of course, their larger, Rodeo buckle would be more like the original.

I gathered the powder from a whole roll of caps, no BB, and set it off.Ditto! Same gun and same procedure for me. Only we would scrape the paper covering over a "bunch" of unused caps to gather raw powder to place under the BB. Wow! !
