wow, that brought back some memories, it's all fun and games, until someone puts a penny in their gun. Anyway they were called tracer guns, and it doesn't look like they are made any more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracer_gun

How about NERF guns? http://www.hasbro.com/nerf/en_US/vortex.cfm Those vortex type ones have disc ammo. You can buy them on Amazon.

I'd rather do it with a jolt pistol. The discs have a long range, but they're terribly inaccurate and slow. The single dart fired by a dart is slow to reload, but fairly accurate and fast, perfect for assassinations.

Ha. Memories indeed. Ow. ;)

Thanks for tracking down info on tracer guns. You can still purchase them but they're collectibles: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Vintage-Rayline-Tracer-Toy-Guns-lo...
