Does anyone remember the little white throwable caps?
They kind of looked like sperm lol...twisted paper with a small charge in the head,
When it hit the ground it would set up friction or a spark, which would explode and create a loud cracking sound.

I cannot for the life of me figure out the Google keywords.

The‘re called Bang Snaps and are still available. The one one the right has exploded.

I seem to remember something made out of plastic IIRC, which you opened and put one cap inside. Then you threw it straight down onto the sidewalk. There was a "firing pin" in the nose that, when it hit the ground, struck the cap and it went "bang." I think we called them torpedoes. Memory is a bit hazy after all these years. And that's what we did with the caps that didn't go off usually because the cap pistol hammer didn't strike the cap dead center.
