Had a real neat RR set of cap guns with matching hat way back in the olden days. Sure was fun being a kid back then. We actually went outside and played with toy guns and did not become serial killers.

And taking a rock and pounding the caps on the sidewalk to make them go off.
Being a kid was fun back then.

Yes, we did have "cap guns," and you are right, we did not become serial killers. In my "gang," (there were 11of us, 6 boys and 5 girls) we would trade off being good guys and bad guys, and the girls were always "nurses." And yeah, we did have clean fun. But alas, different era!!!!
We loved all the '50's and early '60's serial westerns. My only issue with the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans show was that his sidekick (Pat something?) drove Nellie the jeep and the bad guys drove cars while Roy and Dale were on horseback. It just seemed odd to me when all the other westerns, Hoppalong Cassidy, Cisco Kid, Lone Ranger, etc. clearly took place in the old "wild west." Did anyone else ever question that as a kid?
I had a Hoppalong Cassidy bike, black with white handlebar fringes, horn button on the side, & 2 cap guns in holsters. I loved that bike. Learned to ride on it.
Do any of you remember taking colored chalk, putting it in socks, smashing it & on Halloween going around chalking your friends?
How about playing the card game knucks (with sadistic friends)?
I think that the ‘50s in the U.S. were the best times to grow up in the history of the planet. The ‘60s for being a teen (Beatles, etc).
