Just over halfway to 100 since a year ago.

P.S. My prayers are sent for your friend too Mike!

P.P.S. My father bought his first Luger when I was 5 years old in the mid 60's. I didn't have any Luger squirt guns but I my father bought for me in the early 70's and I built them these 1:1 scale plastic models of a few pistols that were realistic functioning plastic models (with light metal springs) that on the semi autos that could be cocked and the plastic firing pin actuated (and the revolver would move single or double action). It came with these two piece plastic bullets where the casing had a hole where the primer goes and the plastic bullet had a stem that when fitted together with the casing the end would fit into the casing's primer hole!

Once built, in the semi autos you could load the magazine, install it, **** and fire the plastic bullet and it would fly about 10ft (of course you had to manually **** it every time)! The revolver you could load the cylinder & fire that too. My father bought me the Luger, 1911, & S&W .38 ones and I loved them, played with them and then at some point my mother (the perpetual spring cleaner) threw them out on me when they got in rough shape.

I don't remember if the were Revell models or whose (I was 10 years old) but I can't find anything on them on the internet though I would love to. They certainly couldn't be sold today as they looked too realistic (like the Borchadt C93 replica from Asia) at least not without an orange tipped barrel (which I'd hate)
