Hake’s Austin Magic Pistol

History Daily

Hake’s Austin Magic Pistol was what every kid without a conscience loved to play with since it shot ping pong balls out of the front at a speed that would never be allowed today. In fact, it even used calcium carbide crystals that when mixed with water, created a gas that ignited every time some trigger happy kid managed to pull the trigger! What else would you expect from a toy that claimed that it was totally harmless? These were the glory days when companies could create whatever they wanted without any fear that they were going to get sued for wrongful harm.
