A cap gun, cap pistol, or cap rifle is a toy gun that creates a loud sound simulating a gunshot and smoke when a small percussion cap is ignited by a hammer hitting the gunpowder. Cap guns were originally made of cast iron, but after World War II were made of zinc alloy, and most newer models are made of plastic.
