G20 Old Gas Powered Gun


This gun was originally designed to be a toy, the manufacturer was quickly shut out of the toy business because of the dangers that it presented. Let me tell you, that this was a good call because this is not a safe toy for children! It is powered using Calcium Carbide and a flint sparking device. Calcium carbide is the same chemical used to fuel old miners lamps, otherwise known as Acetylene. Acetylene is highly flammable and explosive! When charged with the magic crystals, the gun shoots a ball similar to a Ping-Pong ball. I test fired one of these guns and they do operate very well. Pull the trigger and "KA-BOOM" with a loud noise as the little ball must have shot out 60 or 70 feet away, WOW!! The real danger with this toy is that it also shoots a fire trail behind the ball that can be clearly seen at night. The fire stream shoots out the barrel about 6 or 8 feet! This is a real house burner, do not shoot it indoors! Guns come complete with the little ball and the empty can of magic crystals fuel. Fuel can be obtained at some hardware stores. (Calcium Carbide) Also includes the original box with instructions. The guns are in excellent condition (some paint loss) May need a new flint that ignites the gas. Has a finger screw for easy flint replacement. The boxes are also in great condition. Made during the early 1950s by the Austin Manufacturing Company. USA
Sorry, All Sold Out!
