Memories of backyard BB gun fights

[jockster]

Anyone had backyard BB gun fights? Daisy Red Ryders or Model 25s? Wanna share some stories?

Not me.

Ever Been Shot with an Airgun?

I suspect about 30% of American males got into it with their brothers and the guns came out. This pt came in for wisdom teeth. Brother shot the pt years ago. The pellet was annoying but not painful. It's gone now!

We used to have them, but that's been maybe 65+ years ago. We'd dig a "foxhole' in a vacant lot and shoot it out with some other guys! Great fun and we never put anybody's eye out!

No shooting above the shoulders and Mom better not see any welts...

 

[TipBledsoe]

Yep. Way back when I was young and very dumb.

We had dirt clod grenades too!

And, Black Cats were really firecrackers back then!

Yep. A couple of us had Crossman pump-up .177 calibers and had to promise to "only pump once" to make it fair for the guys with the Red Riders.
Yeah, right.
I still remember my cousin trying to hide behind a tree and repeatedly being popped in the posterior. He always did have a big butt!
That vacant lot next to Green's Bayou now has a fancy house on it.

When I was a kid Silver Salutes, Cherry Bombs & M-80 would maim you if you were just stupid enough not to throw it!

I was thinking the same when this topic came up!

We used Roman candles

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Bottle rockets....

 

[baboon]

Bottle rockets....

Bird bomb pistol beat roman candles & bottle rockets! We use to turn our from tire around on our bikes so the handle bars faced forward. We then pit bottle rockets in the holes of the grips riding at each other jousting!

 

[innominate]

Bottle rockets....

Lol. Yeah. Try to time the throw in the air so the bottle rocket comes down like a mortar.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Nah, time the fuse to leave your hand as it's thrown.
Or, just hold a bottle and shoot out of it.

I remember a bottle rocket fight when a lucky shot set off about 100 bottle rockets behind the tree I was hiding behind. I also remember a buddy digging BB's out of my hide. Old? Yeah I'm old enough to remember when society didn't try to protect idiots from pain. Just let it sort itself out. Thankfully I was not enough of an idiot to do really stupid stuff.

I had something similar to that happen, except it set off a box of fireworks in our garage.
