Here we can read the information from the
factory. Cary Cotterman says that on the patent application it stated: "For years youngsters have used and played with air rifles or BB guns, which propel projectiles in the form of round balls or BB shot. It is felt by some parents that relatively small youngsters are not capable of handling air rifles of this type and therefore applicant has devised the toy popgun of this invention, which simulates an air rifle or BB gun in appearance but which does not fire a projectile but merely makes a loud bang or noise...It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a toy popgun which, when fired, will produce an extremely loud bang or noise but which will not fire or propel any projectile." The patent later states that a few drops of oil dripped down into the front of the barrel will produce smoke by a "diesel effect" when the rapidly compressing air comes into contact with the oil."
