The toy air blaster I had was made in the 70's and was sold at K-Mart.
It was shaped like a large ray gun and had a cocking handle on the top.
Inside was a large round area with a rubber disk attached at the back.
When you cocked the handle it drawed the rubber backwards in the middle.
The barrel sloped down to a 3" wide hole. When fired it popped a air ball
10'
and would hit someone hard enough to puff their hair. Really drove my Mom
nuts.
I may still have it in the attic, tho I think the rubber disk attachment
broke, if I
remember correctly.
