Hellish, intestine-twisting scream ride? Why, bicycles must be pure terror for some tyke who pedals too fast. And perma-accelleration? So when does it reach warp speed, Scotty?

Cheap cap guns used a flat hammer to fire the caps, which more often resulted in a misfire or a weak, disappointing poof. As a kid, I noticed that the more expensive cap guns had hammers with a pointy striker to penetrate the cap. Being experimentive, I held a cap in one hand while using a thumb tack to penetrate it with the other hand. It was a very satisfying bang, along with a momentary burst of pain in my fingers, and blackened soot on my skin and fingernail. Hot sand at the beach was a thousandfold more painful, so it wasn't what I considered a catastrophe. Now, if that's all the damage that could occur with direct contact with bare flesh, just what damage could possibly occur with a couple layers of clothing, not to mention the thickness of the belt, and a weak attempt to misfire a cap?

Far out! Your very own Night of the Living Dead doll! Cool!
