Where Are the War Toys of Yesteryear?

Sonic Blaster, 1966

"The Mattel Agent Zero M Sonic Blaster 5530 fires compressed air with a deafening blast. Our measurements top out at 157 dB-above a level that can do permanent damage to the hearing of an adult. We rate the toy Not Acceptable."

Well, it's obvious that nobody asked a nine-year old boy. These days he'd rate it: "Very-cool-can-I-buy-it-I'll-pay-you-back-honest."
