Most worked well enough for you to get off several shots, sometimes with the accuracy of a thrown billiard ball.
And almost as deadly.

I've always heard the term was from folks doing the wildly popular bar scene on Saturday night, and using these cheap guns for protection in case of trouble. (In a bar? HEAVEN FORBID!) If somebody was shot, the gun could be easily dumped without much financial damage.
