Cap guns are toy gun that were originally made from cast iron. Over time, however, guns were made from a zinc alloy and then, later, plastic. They get are different from other toy guns in that they fire a realistic sounding bang when the trigger is pulled.

The sound of the bang comes from small caps filled with shock-sensitive explosive compounds that react when the trigger is pulled.

Cap guns really gained popularity in the 20 years following World War II as Westerns first began filling movie theaters and, later, television. Many brands of cap guns were endorsed by famous cowboy figures, such as Roy Rogers, The Lone Ranger, Gene Autry and others.

Today, cap guns are required, by law, to have an orange, yellow or red tip at the end of the muzzle of barrel. This is because of a number of incidents where civilians, often children, were killed by police officers who mistook the toy guns for real ones.
