Post them here. Let's try to limit this to toys you actually had. If any stories surround the toy, like shooting your eye out, blowing off a hand, etc., please post that along with the picture of your toy. The first one is this one. I had this toy and it was great for playing Army!

Lol ... I gotta find this super concentrated bouncing ball I had back in the day . If you held it at shoulder length and dropped it , it would bounce higher than your shoulder as an example . I blackened my eye with it real good

Ha! I had one of those!

Caps were a gateway toy. You start with a cap gun.

Then you move up to one of these bombs things.

Then you're hitting 10 caps at a time with a hammer.

Then comes that one 4th of July when your pop lets you light your own firecrackers!

The next thing you know you're having bottle rocket wars with wiffleball bats.
