i want those weapons too! about the "vrooom" thing: when i was a kid, we used to cut plastic soda bottles and tape it to our bikes. then it would make a loud sound, (the nighbors didnt liked the idea at all) as if it had a engine or something. the sound of plastic "slaping" the inside part of the bike wheel was enough for us!

It looks like Otis Campbell (Hal Smith) was the bad guy in the Tommy Burst Commercial! LOL!
The Fanner 50 commercial ended up causing some reform initiative in toy advertising to kids, seemingly they couldn't be "too theatric". According to my dad the fanner 50 was one of the coolest guns a kid could get in those days.

@jcftao: You're absolutely right! I missed that. Maybe before his advent at Mayberry/ATS?
