What Is This?
Its a fun time pistol from the 1950s to shoot your Friends with ping pong balls
What Went Wrong?
In order to propel the balls, one had to use magic crystals & water (or saliva). Magic crystals just happen to be calcium carbide (which is extremely explosive when mixed with water). Let's just say once you see this gun in action...you'll know why Friends won't play with you and your gun a second time. Link to a video of this thing in action below:
Austin Magic Pistol in action
Aftermath?
It was considered so high powered that it was taken off the market very quickly
