I know what they are but I have never seen them in real life nor used them. I had these:
I grew up with both, the paper ones were nice for “other” destructive purposes. And that you had a ton of shots on a roll.
The rings were nice because they always stayed in alignment. The paper ones would sometimes lose their pacing and the hammer would hit the spaces between the dots.
I remember seeing plastic 12 shot rings too.
Wow, I remember having a revolver, it was loads of fun as a kid to actually have the shots go off. Probably infuriating to the adults, which may be why I rarely had any.
The revolver I had constantly burned my hand. Whenever it hit the "bullet", sparks went straight towards my hand. Still, totally worth the pain.
Naw, the adults were at home. We were outside.
If you remember "playing outside" you must be very old.
Can I ask you when you were born? Because I remember using the paper strips when I was really young and then at some point they dissapeared and got replaced by those plastic rings. I was born in 94.
I used both. Am from 93.
similar age. I used both. I think the strips did get harder to find at the dollar store when I got older
I can see why they went to the rings. You could do the whole strip with a thumbnail if you were a young idiot.
you could also get the whole strip with a thumbnail of you just wanted to have some fun
92, Baltics
They sold these and the strips next to one another at the dollar store when I was a kid. Born '95
During the pandemic, percussion caps for black powder guns were unavailable and I got those types of caps to work marginally well.
