Does anyone else besides me remember the BB "machine guns" that ran on a can of R12 (bought by the box from Western Auto for 99cents/can)...talk about cyclic rate! Damn, I guess the only thing we were killing was the ozone layer?
Still have mine


We built forts as well but nothing so cool as the above mentioned - When it snowed I would pull out the ol spud gun and we would have hard packed snow (ok really ice ) and launch them with the spud gun.

PVC pipe - tapped with a barbed fitting and connected to a propane cylinder. To ignite we used a Coleman lantern igniter. We knocked down quite a few people. Amazing we didn't do too much damage.

Oh for roman candles we soaked our shirts down so we didn't burn. BB guns limited to 2 pumps but most of us carried CO2 guns incase we needed rapid fire or wanted to retaliate for a 2+ pumper

Forts, BB gun & bottle rocket wars, man those were the days!! We too fought with roman candles, what you call sput guns, at that time we called them cannons , back when cokes came in steel cans with both ends cut out , duck taped together and rhe one on the end (where you lit) had a ice pick hole on the bottom, in the center, the other end had oles poked through it, fill it with lighter fluid, light it & thump with a nice flame

Of course, my buddy Tracy, built this monster a few years back, and we have a blast with it, much better than what we built as kids
