Indigo Posted January 13, 2015 at 01:52 PM Share Posted January 13, 2015 at 01:52 PM At least my Mattel Shootin' Shell fanner came out of the holster and it fired plastic bullets too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR9ojNddiSII had one of those when I was a kid. I remember it being called a "Fanner 50" for some reason. That must be what got me interested in reloading. LOL It was called a Fanner 50 because that was it's name. It was promoted by showing an awesome display of firepower, using the the off-hand to "fan" the hammer back for rapid fire. There was a Western TV show at the time where the hero did this to show how awesome his gun-fighting skills were. I got one for Christmas in the late 50s.

Indigo Posted January 13, 2015 at 01:56 PM Share Posted January 13, 2015 at 01:56 PM My favorite line from the website: "You no longer have to worry about young children finding a loaded weapon. This all-in-one piece construction does not come apart." Yeah, why bother with securing this - it's not a REAL gun. Let the kids play with it. You know that will be the attitude of at least some of the people who would buy this adult toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmer Fudd Posted January 13, 2015 at 02:13 PM Share Posted January 13, 2015 at 02:13 PM There is a clever marketing angle that the producers of the item missed. They should have paired up with funeral homes in different areas and offered discount cards and charged the funeral home owners. That way when the people that buy these start getting killed by cops, stick up artists, and whomever, at least someone will benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fife Posted January 13, 2015 at 02:15 PM Share Posted January 13, 2015 at 02:15 PM $ If enough people start wearing these in Illinois, it may get people used to seeing them and passing an open carry law may be easier $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the fits of histeria/hilarity that would ensue when Joe Liberal takes a drink on the CTA. This adds practicality to the practice of carrying something on your hip, and virtually assures the funeral home coupons would get used. Heck, they might get repeat business after the fear induced heart attacks start.$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbeard Posted January 13, 2015 at 06:37 PM Share Posted January 13, 2015 at 06:37 PM The OC zealots always tell us about what a deterrent to crime OC is. Nobody would dare rob someone OCing or hold up a convenience store with an OCing customer in it. This ought to work perfectly at a fraction of the cost!

Russ S. Posted January 14, 2015 at 12:38 PM Share Posted January 14, 2015 at 12:38 PM I'm chewing my pop tart into the shape of a gun instead. At least I can eat it later if I get hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
