Cool Gun

I think my brother had this incredible toy gun or something like it around 1966. It might've been different, because none of the videos made reference to loading up the grenades/missiles with a cap (as in "cap gun" cap—we had these Mattel Greenies (if they move from there, lemme know—I grabbed the photo)), and they were red with his gun. There was a little spring–loaded hinged lid sort of thing on the front end of the grenades, which you opened up and slid a single cap into. When it landed, it would compress and ignite the cap. I was only 3 or 4, so I never got to shoot it, and he must've broken it by the time I was of shootin' age, because I never inherited it.
