[QUOTE="rocketman, post: 3949552, member: 24956"] My best friend and I bought our first BB guns in the mid 90's with lawnmowing money. They were Daisy 841 "quick silver" single pumps. We would burn through a 5000 count box of BB's in a couple weeks tearing up the backyard. One day we were walking the neighborhood hunting birds when we started shooting at each other for fun. It was painful to get hit, so it turned into a war with a lot of hurt feelings. I remember running across the street under fire in fear for my life when I jumped in the bed of a neighbors pickup. My friend didn't stop firing and shattered the front windshield. That woke us up and the war ended. We went home and swore not to talk about it. Well we got in trouble anyways. My dad gave me a lecture and told the story about when he was a kid in a BB gun war in the 60's. He was walking to his friends house when his friend opened fire from the rooftop. My dad ran home and got his bb gun which was jammed and couldn't feed bb's at the time. He instead filled the bore with bird seed and went to the kids house. He found him in the garage and shot him in the face with the bird seed. The kids mom had to pick bird seed out of his face and eyes. Though not BB gun related, that same friend and I had improvised bows and arrows before the BB guns. These were supped-up modified suction cup bows and arrows with homemade arrows made from dowel rods and solid fiberglass bicycle flag poles sharpened in a pencil sharpener or on concrete. One day we watched some Disney movie where the main character was catching arrows fired at him and shooting them back. We decided since we were pretty good with bows so we'd give it a try. After a couple failed attempts to catch an arrow myself, it was his turn. I fired one of the fiberglass arrows at my friend who failed to catch it and it stuck in his forearm. He still has the scar. EDIT: One more story. That same friend and I were shooting BB's at the neighbors house attic vent louvers. Little did we know the neighbor was back there. I shot and then heard "AAAAAHHHHHHH". The neighbor popped up over the fence and said "YOU SHOT ME IN THE A$$!". It must have been a ricochet. We ran inside and nothing came of it. [/QUOTE]
