What a cool set. It even shoots projectiles and smoke comes out of the barrel.

This brings back a lot of memories. In elementary school, and of all places, California, our teachers would allow us boys to bring play guns to school on rainy days and play army, cops and robbers etc.
Really, really, really wanted one of these as a youngster in the 60’s. Was a Navy brat and therefore couldn’t afford one. $3…yep, Navy brats didn’t have 3 bucks. A friend had one and would share once in a while. The Tommy Burst and a Fanner-50 pistol too.
The boy in that commercial was ‘Bruce Ritchey’ he played the character ‘Reuben Widdicombe’ in the 1963 movie “A Child Is Waiting” staring Judy Garland and Burt Lancaster.
The film was produced by Stanley Kramer and directed by John Cassavetes.

Loved greenie stickem caps but mom use to take away the safe shooting shells
All the super-masculine kids these days wouldn’t know what to do with that set.
