The M-16 Marauders from
Mattel were VERY popular
when I was a kid, and for good
reason. They were extremely
realistic looking and could
make incredibly annoying
shooting noises for nearly a
full minute. Apparently
engineered by BOSE to make
an astounding amount noise
for their size, they were the
bane of mothers
everywhere. The trigger just
BEGGED to be pulled on
these things, and doing so in a
linoleum-covered kitchen was
enough to get you disarmed,
beaten, and held POW for a
week. But usually they were
content if we would "TAKE
THAT DAMN THING
OUTSIDE". So we did.
