I actually found one of those ads on the back of a 1965 25 cent Batman comic. Sounds fun!

Trivia:When it was introduced into combat during the Vietnam War,a lot of Soldiers and Marines weren't impressed with it and they derisivly called it"The Mattel Toy"!!

Toy guns are quite famous for children and they use it widely for the games which will improve their interest.
