F-500 Fury Cap Machine Gun

from 1959…

I WANT ONE!

Can you imagine some kid running around his neighborhood with this (or any other toy gun that’s not orange or hot pink). I’m guessing the cops would be called, gun taken away, probably some therapy for the child…

Afterwards the kid will go back inside, fire up the Xbox and play GTA.
