minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·18 days agoNot sure if it was the same, but there was windup ones that used a cap from a “cap gun” and a winding mechanism. You’d wind it up and the pin stopped it from acting. Pull the pin and the gears would unwind, ending in a strike to the cap. It’s possible there was acoustic properties inside that amplified the sound, but more likely it just sounded like a cap gun.
