Does anyone remember the smell toy cap guns give off when fired?

Before these plastic caps, they had them in rolls of red paper. I remember you could lay them out and cap them with a hammer.

Yes, I do. I hadn't thought of that in decades. I think it's amazing how we can remember smells that we haven't smelled for so long.

Yes. I think it’s the same compounds they are looking for at the airport when they swab your laptop.

We used to take them to school for recess play. Now that would bring out the SWAT team.

I do not

Yes indeed

Yesss

I remember the smell vividly, but I used the caps with little dots of gunpowder sealed in paper rolls.

Yes,I remember that smell from many years ago now.

Almost a sweet smell, very pleasant.

Yep...and bolt bombs!!

I do...I still get that smell when I fire my muzzle-loading rifle.
