Yep! Did the plastic army men with bb guns too. A good hit made a little dimple in the plastic. But ten pumps with a pellet rifle and they broke in half. Those army men toys I had were all Vietnam era, carrying M16s. I was more into WWII even then and usually played with 1/72 scale WWII figures. My dad found them somewhere for me. There were Germans and Americans. And had some Minitanks HO scale vehicles too.
I bought a plastic armyman - tank toy a few years ago for nostalgia. It's on my shelf.
