I think it’s fair to say that shooting techniques have evolved for the better since this ad was released…
Someone should work out the rate of inflation for what this would run in today’s dollars…
What year was this ad released or did I miss it?
Well if the ad was from 1968 (just a guess) that $189 would be about $1175 today.
I think he’s got the Costa forward grip down pat.
is that guy’s thumb through the sight tower?
love the cross draw on the pistol.
ah a simpler time. 
He’s using the magpul grip! zomg!
Seriously, that’s an awkward looking way to shoot o.O

Reminded me of my matel life like sound M-16 I had in the very early 70s wish they made toys like that still 
They do, it’s called airsoft.
It is the kind of shit we dreamed about as kids.
I guess I meant for super little kids
Airsoft is good for teens though
Probably '66-'68.
I’m pretty sure the three prong flash suppressor had been replaced by the birdcage by early '68.
" Eyes, Muzzle,Target" them give em the ole razzle dazzle
I had my first real firearms in the 4th grade, including 9mms and .357s, exactly why couldn’t a 4th grader have an airsoft?
That’s what I was going to say. SCORPION is old school!!
Guess they could ?
I was thinking when I was 6 we had our play M1 and M-16 good old metal cap guns and our GI-Joes
This was in the late 60s
So maybe was more thinking hat young ?
Not for more than a few rounds it isn’t.
Ahh, the age-old “thumb-in-the-FSB” hold. Lets see Costa try this one! :sarcastic:
