Used to have one of those when I was a kid. Not sure what ever happened to it. We use to use carbide to "shoot" can lids back and forth across the street. Can with a small hole in the bottom. A little water, piece of carbide, in the can. Press the lid on, waih a little. Touch a match to the hole. BOOM shoot the lid out.

Ah the good ole days. LOL
