Very Bad Toys(continued)8. Bat Masterson Derringer Belt Gun 
CROTCH ROCKET That's not the kind of pelvic thrust Suzy had in mind One Bat Masterson enthusiast, identified as "Tim from Shoreview, Maine" on nostalgia website boomberbaby.com, remembers, "When you stuck out your stomach, putting pressure on the buckle, a small gun would pop out and fire a cap." A gut-busting meal, in that case, could lead to a serious friendly-fire mishap. According to SafeKids USA, "Caps can be ignited by friction and cause serious burns." Every young boy needs to learn the valuable lesson of always protecting his nether regions, with force if necessary, but given the positioning of the Derringer, the owner's greatest enemy might have actually been puberty. 
Had this toy. Posted by: Tom3 on December 15, 2006 4:57 PM Boy, they are really stretching to call a metal cap gun one of the 10 worst toys. And they really missed the mark here, if they wanted to make fun of a derringer on a buckel near your crotch they would have been better off picking on the Matell version, it not only fired "Greenie Stick'em Caps", but it even shot a small plastic bullet out of the gun thanks to a 22 cabiber like Matell "Shootin' Shell".

Any kid who grew up firing caps and firing toy guns knows different. Sissys not wanted. Posted by: ninjabarry on December 25, 2006 8:05 PM Advertisement I had one of these when I was a kid. It was indeed ultra-cool to have! There were 2 problems, though: (1) The gun wouldn't pop open if you didn't poke out your stomach exactly properly, so you would easily be outgunned when playing Bat Masterson with your pal. (2) The caps misfired more often than they fired. Nevertheless, it was a good toy. Posted by: anguilla on December 26, 2006 2:06 AM I want one...
