Things you used to see as a kid...

Does anyone remember rockets that you half filled with water then pumped up with a bike-pump then released? They were incredibly powerful, over 100ft at 50+ mph and a water vapour trail. Lethal if used as a weapon. Think they were made in Germany probably modelled on the V2.

I had one of them, they were mint. Everybit as powerful as you say and my mum used to go ape at me for firing it at the bathroom ceiling.

Also toy replica Self loading rifles with a detachable magazine that fired plastic bullets. They were to die for.
