Johnny Seven One-Many Army Gun

December 2, 1964. Many, many years ago, toy guns were manufactured with the goal of looking as real as possible. Before the 1992 law that required the addition of an orange tip to toy guns, and almost three decades before that event, toymakers provided kids with some serious toy weaponry that look near-realistic at times.

One such toy gun, the Johnny Seven One-Man Army Gun (see Wikipedia), went to extremes to look realistic and offer a load of play value in one weapon. The “seven” in the name stood for the number of different weapons packed into the toy: see the commercial at YouTube to see the weapon in action.
