These have come a long way since I was a kid. I used to have a "cartridge" belt that held my spare cylinders.

When I was 12 or so my parents bought me a crossman peacemaker 44. I shot the heck out of it. The local police chief to me to our towns sporting goods store and helped me pick a holster. I still have the holster and gun. They are in rough shape but I will grab a picture or two.

Ah, actually found a BB gun I want....... The Umarex Steel Force - select fire: single shot or burst of six. Sounds like good fun.

I bought an Umarex select fire co2 BB pistol, don't remember the model but it was yellow and black and modeled after a Russian sub-machine gun.

Anyway, it was a lot of fun but it wasn't difficult to kill a hundred dollar bill in an hour.

I have a 1911 look-a-like which uses propane as the propellant, car be refilled from the 1 pound disposable bottles. They zing out but the charge doesn't last long.
