Yeah, I remember what a technological advancement I thought it was when they moved from paper caps to the red "ring style" caps. I loved the fact that it allowed the toy revolvers look and load more like real guns...and you did not have the paper caps coming out and needing torn off. The only draw back was the ring style ones cost so much more. It was like 50 cents for a pack of 12 rings which each had six or eight shots on them.
