@@merriotChard , only my dad was working as a bus conductor and with a wife and four little kids a Johnny 7 was a bit too much.☺️

@@RalphHeron-d6w know what you bro .bless them. My dad was a disabled army commando ..wanted for nothing as a kid in the 60's ...gives me a condition of mind today knowing what my parents went through in those days to get food on the table .We English are a hardy breed , ...lest we forget that .xxx

[@martyshannon7542]

We need these kinds of toys again. I'm 63.

[@ravusursi893]

I would love to re-engineer that. It’s needs the motor to run slower plus a small dedicated chip and speaker to make weapon sounds.

[@chuckmaddison2924]

Maybe an Arduino.

[@joseywales6146]

I was a '70s Brit kid...how did I miss this one?!?

[@beendoneagain]

I never saw this on the shelf. If I had it would have been tantrum time until it got purchased! 😀

[@reluctentninja]

My grandfather bought me this when I was a child, I was really into action man

[@andrewh2u]

Fantastic - from a simpler time where boys were boys and had imagination and toys which reflected that.

[@davyP12]

Evokes Memories,. I had the Paratroopers uniform on one of my Men. I'm so old the Beret was Maroon Fabric NOT Plastic. Great to see. 😂👍

[@bugler75]

I went on to use the real one. Pros and cons: The real one sounded better. The Action Man one was much lighter! Seriously though, their research was thorough enough to use the Sustained Fire role pistol grip which replaced the original buttstock. Normally you would be sitting behind it to operate it. This version of the L7a1 GPMG was used in the indirect fire role, much like a mortar. Just info for any one interested 😊

[@AnonAnonAnon]

Christmas Day sometime in the 1970s. I got an Action Man with gripping hands and eagle eyes, my brother got an Action Man astronaut complete with space capsule. We also got a load of uniforms to go with. The following year it was the Lone Ranger for me, Tonto for my brother!

[@andy-in-indy]

That is a sound that your parents would not love.

[@Kneon_Knight]

Very much like the "Moto Rev" feature of the G.I. Joe Combat Jeep from the 1960s. I'm fairly certain many parents disabled the motor mechanism after hearing it for any longer than 5 minutes.

[@Twirlyhead]

A simple spring-loaded ratchet like I have in my many old fishing reels would have provided a nice clicking noise. Great though, thanks for showing.

[@MikeTheBike2010]

I re read that advert catalogue so many times!

[@Thenogomogo-zo3un]

I wanted this as a kid. Hell, I wanted most of the Action Man range! That MG got a seriously high rate of fire! I love the ingenuity they put into some of these products. Just superb! Thanks for the upload and video

[@RJW998]

I remember this! Absolutely the best thing ever.

[@Roberto-tu5re]

I saw this on my feed and had to watch and subcribe. Just to say I fast forward to the actual gun working then watched it all. I had this plus many other action man kit. Great video and so many memories.

[@fg-pv5ht]

I loved my Action Man, Lego too, remember seeing an Action Man (in a space suit. Like I had as a kid) in the Castle Museum in York some years ago. Now that made me feel old lol

[@yyyfffff33333]

Made in the days when lads played war and didn't grow up and stab anyone !

[@Nooziterp1]

It's considered un-PC now

[@crispindry2815]

I'm guessing Peter Sutcliffe never played war.

[@DS-kg4do]

Great comment. You’re bang on mate 👍

[@gunner678]

They did an M1919 Browning machine gun nest with gun sound, ot was great. I remember this one, I found it disappointing at the time because there was no sound, but it is nice to see it here again.

[@2NatoStandard]

Had the chappy with the wool hat dark kit cammed up face and a canoe. Remember sending him on operations around our local reservoir, until he lost his SLR and ended up doing 28 days 🤣🤣🤣 Fond memories though

[@jefthing]

I had one and it was brilliant! My dad converted a large tipper truck to an armoured car for me and mounted the MG on it after I broke the tripod. I still have the truck (and my action men) but the MG has long gone.

[@paulmurgatroyd6372]

Action man the first to use the infinite ammo hack.

[@LUC66631]

Action man was the first cheater 😁😁👍👍

[@stephenelliott95]

Brilliant, I’ve been lucky enough to have been a Skill at Arms Instructor and fired the GPMG in SF down range for real

[@darylsmith4267]

Like all my childhood toys; awesome fun until it stopped working.😂

[@swaldron5558]

I’m crazy about action man during 1970s but never get these machine gun. 😢

[@uberspumer6669]

Actually I was stabbed by my action man during a tense family Sunday dinner in 1973

[@alanpervin]

Had all these, and years later I found out they were made in Coalville,a town just down from me in Loughborough, happy days

[@harman1967]

Proper boys toy's, none of this pink fluffy crap you see today, this is what inspired kids to join the military and of course back when we had a British toy industry.

[@johnskibajr5691]

I recall seeing a toy commercial that showed a toy MG very similar to this one except it was a bit bigger of course. I had one that was battery operated with a tripod mount except I do not recall it having a looped ammo belt. We had such great firearm toys back in the day.

[@reluctentninja]

@johnskibajr5691 I had that one also it was a browning 1919 look alike

[@davidbrown5411]

One minute you're playing with a toy Jimpy, the next you're tabbing across Otterburn, humping a tripod and hundreds of rounds of 7.62mm link...

[@SteveBrownRocks2023]

Why didn’t I have 1 of these? DAMN! I’ve never even HEARD of it! I DID have a Johnny 7 though, it was cool!

[@BaronSamedi1959]

I had the Machine Gun, the Bazooka, the Mortar and the towed 105mm field gun. I don't think anyone was surprised I became a reserve officer of artillery later.

[@jamesrice6096]

I have that! Action mans elbows didn't bend, but he mopped the floor with GI Joe!

[@TheSaturnV]

Holy rate of fire Batman. That thing fires out like a GAU-8 😅

[@markmak7548]

I am now 60 years old my favourite all time toy as a child . Action Man . I have now 12 original figures and various uniforms. They use to be an Action Man club out there somewhere. Which had swop and buy days . For Action Man and other memeriable action figures of the time . Dose it still exist ? .

[@davewalker5706]

I was playing with action man in 1973, didn't have that though

[@Daracdor]

I had the action man machine gun nest the gun was mounted in a curved row of plastic sand bags was my fave toy at the time .

[@darrensutton5940]

Oh, such memories. Thank you

[@lathemillwelder920]

L7A1 is known by its original manufacturer in Belgium as a FN MAG 😉 I would have loved to have this toy nevertheless 😊

[@gerardoshaughnessy1924]

How good is that. I don't recollect this though and I would have been 7 or 8 at the time. I had several action men and would definitely have wanted the machine gun if I had known about it at the time.

[@leehardwick2893]

Omg! I didn't even know these existed 😮 would've loved one although later in life i did manage to put many 00's of rounds down range from the real thing ❤😂

[@billgriffin7346]

I had one if these, lasted about 2 minutes!

[@chuckmaddison2924]

This is something I never had. I did have the mortar. You pulled back on spring and twist to hold ,put in shell and untwist to fire , boring. I, however, did discover that if you didn't fully twist to set and only did just enough to catch, you could drop the shell in, and it would fire immediately. A lot more realistic. I also had the space capsule.

[@cropstar]

My Action Man and his tank quite often used to go missing. I used to find it my sister's room parked outside Barbie's house. I don't think Ken was very happy.

[@jimroberts3009]

I once threw my kid's very, very noisy toy out of the car window because I said I would, if he didn't stop playing with it! Don't worry, I'm not all that bad, we were on a small rural road and we went back for it!

[@davidrobertson5700]

Would be interesting to know how many rounds went through that thing in a second so we can work out if it is faster than an MG42 or a minigun lol. Fairly easy with an rpm counter I reckon. Thanks in advance

[@pbxn-3rdx-85percent]

Toy GPMG has the same rate of fire of GAU-8! Faaaan-tastic! 😁

[@iandougall7169]

I had one of these!

[@davidhigson2066]

It was a copy of the Pedigree "Tommy Gunn" version released several years before. I had both. Both were battery powered and the TG one had slightly better detailing.

[@johndevitt2164]

we need a re-run of the original action man, would sort the place out in a week, the mess we are in

[@andisonne007]

Das war ja nett, danke für die Vorstellung .🤠👍👍👍

[@markjinks2598]

Pure nostalgia

[@michaelodonoghue7464]

My Action Man as a child in England was the Deep Sea Diver version. I then had high hopes of expanding his Kit but unfortunately My Parents then transported Me to South Australia, where Action Man Kit was either prohibitively expensive or simply unavailable.

[@funkydozer]

I also had the deep sea diver, and a sea wolf sub to put him in. I was disappointed the sub didn’t have a propeller to make it move, and that it filled with water and didn’t keep my action man dry like a real sub.

[@davidthefirst6195]

I had this in the70's along with the rest of my action man toys

[@martinclayton7260]

I had one of those.

[@chris101gray3]

So taboo today! "Action Man". Woe to anybody saying such a thing! Today it would be "Action They" or "Action Them". Have to be inclusive and diverse! Such an evil toy from such an evil time where everything was rational, logical, biological and MADE SENSE! God I miss those times! I miss knee scabs! Anyone remember those? You know..When you used to actually go outside and run and jump in the dirt, climb trees, burrow through bush with or without our beloved Action Men dolls recreating all those Battle stories from our equally beloved and treasured COMMANDO comic book collections. Remember those too? Remember living?

Now thats a god damn toy
