I know someone who did all this and much more.

Yep, we did these too, spent hours cutting match heads off and putting them in Coke bottles & blowing them up

We use to do flips on roofs & practice Tuck & Rolls I also use to jump my BMX bike off roof tops & into pools I once caught my pants on fire riding through a fire, and would jump pretty much anything.
We also would climb on the roof of the local high school and take the spikes for lightning & have sword fights with them.

Oh yeah, I was so good with a BB gun I'll bet I would've put a few Marines to shame. Many, many dead birds in the neighborhood. Had plenty of fights too...

That sounds pretty much like my own childhood.

I regret killing the birds but the birds I killed were introduced species so that was a benefit to the indigenous ones.

age 8 indy car crash and burn models

drill a 30-30 size hole in the metal 50's indy car model
insert a 30-30 brass filled with gas and lite it
crash into the other kids car and watch the flaming wreck

we also used 30-30 shells as rockets after we discovered
saltpeter and sugar as rocket fuel burned up aluminum foil tubes

garbage can shields and broomstick swords = full out group war

20'' bikes with banana seats and angel wings on a golf course at nite races

skate boards with steel wheels playing roller derby
in a school [closed] with concrete walls and pillars
with no protective gear
and game was to knock the other kid off his board
how nobody got killed is a mystery

Dirt bomb (clods) fight? Crusty piece of dirt... About the size of your fist.

They almost look like they exploded when they hit the ground. I threw a lot of these, Mainly at my annoying cousins

The movie, "Where The Wild Things are". Greatest dirt bomb (clod) fight ever captured on film!!!

Lysol makes a better flamethrower.

hair spray flame thrower in a crowded bus at other kids in the 7th grade. surprise no one caught on fire, but we we in the principle's the next morning. I suppose the kids ratted us out.

Made a 120v electric fence, supplied from a house outlet for our neighbor's dog. We were careful not to get fried. Never did get the dog, had to put it away before my father came home. Lost interest after a few tries days later.

We kept shooting at the street light in front of my friend's house across the street for about 2 weeks daily, with a cheap Daisy BB gun. Finally one day the last shot cause the big light lens to come crashing down on someone's brand new Z28.

My younger brother and I discovered a recipe for gunpowder in our very early teens. First batches (probably a few spoonfulls) was huge fun, so as kids do we ramped up production over time.

One day we decided to go big and made a good kilo of the stuff. All went well until my brother accidentally set the whole tub alight on his carpeted bedroom floor. Man, did that mother burn! Flames shot up high enough to scorch the ceiling, carpet was ruined and the whole house enveloped in a cloud of sulfur smoke.

For some reason that didn't stop us, and our stuff only became better and more sophisticated over time, especially after coming across a chemistry book entitled "Smiths Inorganic Chemistry" (printed in 1926 no less). Needless to say, this is one book my kids will never get to read...
