      I grew up with both, the paper ones were nice for “other” destructive purposes. And that you had a ton of shots on a roll.

      The rings were nice because they always stayed in alignment. The paper ones would sometimes lose their pacing and the hammer would hit the spaces between the dots.

      I remember seeing plastic 12 shot rings too.

      Wow, I remember having a revolver, it was loads of fun as a kid to actually have the shots go off. Probably infuriating to the adults, which may be why I rarely had any.

      During the pandemic, percussion caps for black powder guns were unavailable and I got those types of caps to work marginally well.
