There was always an amount of caps that the gun couldn't fire,what did you do with these left overs,ie how did you get them to go bang!

I think I got about 12 reels of caps with the gun so any that didn't go off just got binned or maybe burnt,can't remember really. Just checked and I have 9 reels of the critters left unused. If you wanna look for one of these it's made by spudmatic and says lone star on it. Google perhaps?

You can still get Spud guns.

I bet you used to spend hours outside the station too with Mr Making Farty Noises with my Hand man!

Correction,it is The 4 in 1 Spudmatic, firing caps,small corks,spud and water. Impressive rate of fire if you sliced a spud up first rather than just loading by pushing the tip in to a whole spud.
It was always handy to have one of the cap operated spud guns too in the back pocket in case anyone got to close in a "war ". The 4in 1 was good but the cap operated spud gun had some tidy range if you trebled up on the caps.

Yes, had a sekiden too. We had a school trip on a coach and all the kids had them. You can guess the rest..... a school wide ban.
