back before paintball guns we used to play war with BB guns and pellet rifles in our pre teens and early teens without our parents knowledge. largest it never got to was two five kid teams battling one another for bragging rights. this ended abruptly when Sheridan's got introduced into the picture three pumps maximum but you know h those long shots go couple extra pumps and nobody would be the wiser. nobody wanted to play anymore after taking a digging a pellet from under the skin. it's a wonder kids ever grow up without life altering handicaps like a missing eye. and how about some of your stories :smt001

We had dart wars.  Just as fun until you have to pull one out of your skin. 

Back in high school wood/metal shop we would make flying stars, swords, nunchucks and many other weapons that today would put us in jail just for possession.  I remember riding my bike with a sword hanging over my back and the police never even stopped me.

Dang, I had a sheridan 20cal pump.  Wish I still had it.  My dad used to give me 20$ per squirrel.  Walnut tree maintenance.

Played the same game, 3 pumps Max. Could only shoot above the waist if it was in the back. 25 acre area to play. Usually in the dark some one always got hurt.

We had bottle rocket wars. What made it even more exciting was that one team was on a small boat in the middle of a 1 acre lake---sitting ducks...

Had the same rules. The neighbor kid ducked and took a pellet to the neck. Never liked him anyways.

We used to have bb gun wars at the back to the future 3 movie set. My friends family were care takers and lived there. We would get dropped off Friday after school and get picked back up Sunday afternoon. We had the whole place as a battle field.

???? Not sure it was ever implied to be funny. Just a fact kids do stupid things to entertain them selves. Now they sit in front of a iphone or tv

We had BB gun wars.  No pellets though, we weren't that crazy.  Except for bicycle jousting.  Maybe we were that crazy.

Apparently I was too deadpan there. I was joking  :smt005

I actually became deaf from a disease, not an accident.

Matt and I did a whole lot of stupid shit growing up. Other than matt breaking a few bones and me getting roughed up, we mostly survived intact.
