I had a cork gun, too, it was OK. When they came out with the guns that shot those 3/4" or so plastic disks, now those were great. You could stack a bunch in the mag and fire every time you pulled the trigger. Had many a war with friends with those.

I didn't have a cork gun but here was my go-to arsenal before I upgraded to my Red Ryder. The one on the bottom is a Daisy air rifle- no BB's but when packed with mud was lethal.

This one is at least 60 years old. Was in my dads shed. I had forgotten about it till I saw it again. Gave it to my grandson. Had no string just shot corks using those paper caps. No idea where to get caps hot enough to pop out a cork now. The ones I occasionally see now barely pop.

Danny- Fashback…I did have the rifle and pistol, mine shot round cork balls.

This one did too. Has a steel ramrod

I broke the die cast hammer on mine… a lot of fun back when life seemed simpler

dang rich kids...........

Not surprising in this day and age. You could shoot an eye out!

Holy smokes, forgot all about them til you mentioned it. I had a disk gun too, lots of fun and didnt hurt near as much

Ah yes. BB gun wars. Those days, I'll never forget. Neither will our buddy, One-eyed-Mike. Abrupt end of an era, that day.

Must be nice! I had to use a stick!

Seems I remember cork guns , and playing with them.
I know for a fact , my four brothers and I got the Mattel rifles that shot spring loaded casings , that propelled a plastic bullet.
Used greenie caps on the casings for the pop, or noise of a real shot.
The spring was in the shell casing, and the trigger set off the hammer that shocked the spring to release the plastic bullets.
Never knew what happened to them , just disappeared all at once.
Could it of been because we seemed to shoot each other with what ever we had, be it slingshot, bow and arrow , BB gun , or home made cannon using cherry bombs for the powder?

Still have one…

Had a blast playing with cork guns. Spent a lot of hours with one of those in my hands.
