Oooh! That would have been sweet! It came along a few years past my backyard war games days. I had a really cool air powered grenade launcher.

Once the virus is over and if a kid then brings one to school, he will get an extended vacation.
Cool gun.

I did have a couple of these at different times in the 60's.

We had a variety of six shooters with double holster rigs, rubber Bowie knives, bows and arrows with suction cup tips, and Indian Headdresses. We were four brothers, so Cowboys and Indians was always a part of our regular play day... along with backyard baseball.

I had an anemic old Daisey, my stepdad found at a yard sale. It still shot, but the bb's wouldn't even leave a mark on a can at ten feet. Still a great gun for cowboys and indians. Then he handed me an old eyedrops bottle with baby powder in it. A squirt of baby powder down the bore, and the next shot had a muzzle blast like Jed Clampetts black powder rifle or all those lever guns in the westerns we were watching. That single squirt would last four or five shots.
It was a fad that faded among our group, but it lasted about as long as the summer... And the one container of baby powder we used to fill the pocket sized bottles all summer.

My go-to shootin' toy was a slingshot I made. Picked up a nicely v-shaped, thick tree branch in the front yard one time. Used my Kamp-King blade and peeled off the bark, cut a couple of notches, and the best "shot" I could find to fire were small stones from the driveway. I used rubber bands to send out the shot. I think I got slapped by breaking bands more than I hit anything, but lots of fun!
P.S. My Dad made sure that before I mowed grass in the yard, I had to go pick up those stones I piled up everywhere!
