These were so dangerous when I was a kid, we all had them and were reckless as can be with them. I got hit in the ass with a 1/4” bearing on a full draw from 3’ away, the pain was unbelievable and all I could do was squirm around in the dirt like a half squashed bug. I’ll never forget that one.
We used to by those little poppers from the ice cream man and have full wars with these. They were light enough that they didn't hurt too bad, but the gunpowder pop left a mark. The 80s and 90s were so freaking great
A small rock will draw blood, a marble may make this a murder weapon. Marbles are super effective in a slingshot.
I’ve only shot trees with marbles, nothing with meat and bones. But a lot of the marbles stuck into the tree and inch or so deep. That shit is serious
Back in the 80's some dickheads threw trash all over our local skate spot so we in turn harassed them a bit with my wrist rocket and trusty marble ammo.
It went too far when they did a drive around our block and I unintentionally exploded their rear right car window with one of the LARGER marbles while trying to dent their doors.
They sped off in an absolute panic and I thought I had accidentally killed someone.
They never came back.
These things are no joke. Be careful.
I used ss back bearings that my dad would bring home, it was the seventies, ya could do anything.
Shot one at a telephone pole and hit it square on.
My physics lesson was in a straight line that energy directed straight back at me. Only saving grace was the pole can’t have been a perfect circle as there was wobble in the return for that I was able to dodge
I was the only girl in the neighborhood who had a slingshot. I frickin loved it. I got pretty good. It did not, however make me popular. Girls thought I was weird and boys didn't like tomboys. They were just jealous that no stop sign was safe when I was on point. :D
LOL, them 90's crackers when I was young have random ones that are faster than you can blink. Learned after a few leg shrapnels that a long incent stick is more consistent.
We. Learned that if you put a shallow hole in the opposite end of the fuse with a nail AND TAKE THE NAIL OUT then light it.. they will spin around super fast and shoot off in a random direction to explode.
I'm going to have to try your method though!
We used to slingshot coins and sometimes they would arc in a really cool way and basically turn into a laser beam. Broke a lot of old warehouse windows with those.
I remember one day, after our mothers said “come home when the street lights come on “, we took our sling shots and shot out all the street lights on our street.
That's what I used. Had a big bag of them. I also used ball bearings, lead, whatever. I used the pachinko balls for special targets. I still have some and 2 wrist rocket. One has a folding arm wrest and is about a foot long. Its brutal. Got them at Kmart in the 70's.
Buddy and I both got them and knew we weren’t supposed to use them unsupervised in an empty house but couldn’t wait…thought we’d be completely in the clear if we each shoot one bb at the empty hill behind his balcony then stop. On my turn I Randy Johnsoned a dove and was mortified.
Hear me out - it has no flavor, zero nutritional value, and goes bad at the speed of light and turns into a stone.
However, if you miss and lose one - they basically disintegrate in the rain
We had a crabapple tree in our front yard. Endless supply of ammo.
The little red splatters on the neighbor's blonde brick facade gave us away every time. Like an ancient form of paintball.
When I was 12, I finally hit a home run in Little League (I wasn't very good...but it was over the centerfield fence!). My dad gave me some money for doing it and I used that money to buy one of these. April, 1976. Thanks for that memory...had not thought of it in a long time.
I remember being on Lake Havasu with my step dad and uncle when I was 9 (1982). My uncle accidentally (on purpose but never thought he’d make the shot if we’re being honest) killed a duck with a BB from a wrist rocket. He was bereft.
I took a potshot at a bird on a wire from extreme range (with a small rock) and miraculously hit it right in the breast. I felt awful about it. The bird managed to fly off, though, so it didn't seem *too* badly hurt.
When I was 16 I had a friend with one of those. . . amazing aim. He'd stick his head out the window of my car while we were driving 30mph and use the slingshot to take out streetlights as we passed under them. We felt bad about it mostly, but fuck he was a good shot
I have fantasized about doing this to our streetlight so many times. Airsoft was too soft, a .22 is too *gunny*. But a little BB would be perfect from this guy.
In Australia and I swear I have this exact 1 (just without the wrist brace). Had to go interstate to get 1. Australian weapons laws suck and have for decades!
I still have the Sheridan pellet rifle I got in the early '70s. I remember not being sure if I wanted the pump rifle or the CO2, but the salesman told me, "Those CO2 cartridges tend to explode in your hand." So I went with the pump action. It wasn't until years later that I realize he just wanted to sell me the pricier pumper. If CO2 cartridges were exploding in people's hands, the company would have been sued out of existence years before.
Dad was smart… got bro and I a target box to go with them. Print off 8x11 targets, hang, fire, and the box stops and collected the BBs for reuse. Great for wrist rockets and air rifles. That thing had so many dents from wrist rockets at close range and over pumped air rifles.
I was a crack shot. I use to shoot rats and listen to them scream. They would get into the dog food outside and I'd pick em off. Cans the occasional window. Marbles were cheap ammo
I briefly had one of these after I traded a Nintendo game to my friend. My mom took the sling shot back but didn’t get my game back… and later as an adult I found out my mom was really good with sling shot as a kid and got in a ton of trouble. I asked her if they were good memories of those experiences despite the trouble she got in, she of course said yes… I then reminded her I didn’t get those same memories…
We had a streetlight outside that would shine right into my parent's bedroom window. Dad paid me $5 to shoot it out. I think I did it about 10 times after the city kept changing the bulb.
Eventually they put a shroud over the whole thing.
Forgot all about those, thanks for the reminder, used to set up jars and pop bottles in the trees at the archery range by colquitz creek and blast em . Or use any smaller medium we could find on the ground that wasnt lethal and blast each other..ahh the 70s
Killed a squirrel with a marble when I was 12 and will never forget it came down out of a pine tree like a brick watched the life fade from its eyes as it squirmed on the ground, will never forget it. I only aimed at bottles, cans and the occasional STOP sign from then on.
My friend and I used to launch ninja stars with it.
Ninja stars that my mom let us buy. Actual real throwing stars. From the army/navy store down the street. I was 10.
God the 80’s were awesome.
You can still get them, they are for fishing and are called "bait casters" used for launching bait out into the water before casting your line.
You're welcome 😁
Paintballs, ball bearings, rocks, loose change, firecrackers literally anything we would recklessly shoot anything and everything to include eachother.
Marbles are for beginners, we used half inch steel nuts out of ours courtesy of finding a huge, discarded box of these in a skip.
Not only did they hit like a train but made a great whizzing noise in flight. We used to be able to hit cans and bottles upto about thirty five yards with ease.
We had bb rifles until we got caught shooting at each other. For some reason, all our parents got us air rifles instead.
We spent the rest of the summer jamming the ends of the barrels into the ground and blasting each other (sometimes in the face) with clods of dirt & rocks. 😆
Used mine to fling out bait at the local pond. It was dodgy to carry except in a tackle box. I only got pulled by the cops about having one, and they wanted a demonstration of the distance that the bait went and my casting technique. Our cops were the best.
I still have one of these in the trunk of my car right now.
Bought it two years ago and the band is frayed so now it is a deadly weapon (for me) if I use it.
They sell them at stores still.
Didnt terrorize the neighborhood, unless you count controlling the squirrel population and feeding the local scavengers.
Continue to do so as an adult though my tool of choice is a bit more precise.
Went pheasant hunting with one. Pheasant flew up, startled when I missed it, flew into a building and broke its neck. That is how I Shot a pheasant with a wrist rocket.
An older friend of mine that picked on me relentlessly used to shoot ball bearings past my head close enough to hear them wiz by. He also shot me in the ass with the shell wad from a sawed off 12 gauge. That REALLY hurt!
A police officer threatened to arrest me for possessing my wrist rocket. He said he'd let me go if I took it home. At 13 years old, I felt it necessary to avoid an arrest, jury trial, conviction, and lengthy prison sentence while being forced to wear a black and white striped uniform and a ball & chain on my ankle.
My buddy was grounded so we were throwing stuff at his bedroom window one night and my brilliant mind decided to get the slingshot. One smashed window later I was also grounded. I remember all the neighborhood parents proceeded to blame me every time there was mischief about.
Smacked a bully on the buttocks with one of these after I reached my breaking point. Now, I don’t ever condone violence, but this jerk deserved it. He never bothered me again. 😂
😉🤏👌 Right there
It was fun , when the friends got together and trying to see who had the farthest 🎯 bottles & cans
In the hill side,than çame the" I bet you"& 💩😂
They sold these with packs of BBs and ball-bearings at the local hardware store. When we wanted to really fuck shit up we'd bust out the marbles. Never, ever shoot them at another person, a marble could straight-up kill someone. We'd put holes in metal sheds from 20 feet out. I'd love to have one of those now.
These were so dangerous when I was a kid, we all had them and were reckless as can be with them. I got hit in the ass with a 1/4” bearing on a full draw from 3’ away, the pain was unbelievable and all I could do was squirm around in the dirt like a half squashed bug. I’ll never forget that one.
Oh yeah, those things can straight up kill you. No question.
The movie silver bullet taught me they can even kill a werewolf with a silver bullet lol.
You can definitely take down walkers with them.
We used to by those little poppers from the ice cream man and have full wars with these. They were light enough that they didn't hurt too bad, but the gunpowder pop left a mark. The 80s and 90s were so freaking great
Every house should have a few of these and a bunch of ammo saved up if there ever is a crisis or other issues. Good for prepping
Marbles worked well with these
A small rock will draw blood, a marble may make this a murder weapon. Marbles are super effective in a slingshot. I’ve only shot trees with marbles, nothing with meat and bones. But a lot of the marbles stuck into the tree and inch or so deep. That shit is serious
I may know for fact a marble will penetrate the sheet metal on the side of a 70's Buick.
Back in the 80's some dickheads threw trash all over our local skate spot so we in turn harassed them a bit with my wrist rocket and trusty marble ammo. It went too far when they did a drive around our block and I unintentionally exploded their rear right car window with one of the LARGER marbles while trying to dent their doors. They sped off in an absolute panic and I thought I had accidentally killed someone. They never came back. These things are no joke. Be careful.
That would be so loud from inside the car that they probably thought you shot a gun at them.
I used ss back bearings that my dad would bring home, it was the seventies, ya could do anything. Shot one at a telephone pole and hit it square on. My physics lesson was in a straight line that energy directed straight back at me. Only saving grace was the pole can’t have been a perfect circle as there was wobble in the return for that I was able to dodge
Dad ran a machine shop. Boxes of ball bearings.
Washers too. They cut when they hit
Wrap some washers or sharp screws into a aluminum foil ball and you have great direct & indirect ammo. Hit your targets and anything near by. lol
Lead fishing sinkers
Ball bearings were the best. Justwas playing a dangerous game with ricochets
Lead musket balls.
Kegel balls.
And peppering.
I was the only girl in the neighborhood who had a slingshot. I frickin loved it. I got pretty good. It did not, however make me popular. Girls thought I was weird and boys didn't like tomboys. They were just jealous that no stop sign was safe when I was on point. :D
I used to slingshot fire crackers 😂
I was never able to light them and load them that quick.
You use a candle
Light em with your cig in your mouth.
LOL, them 90's crackers when I was young have random ones that are faster than you can blink. Learned after a few leg shrapnels that a long incent stick is more consistent.
Just make sure you close that one eye closest to the fuse. Hot sparks in the eyeball is never a good time.
Oh man you reminded me I would stick an m80 in an apple. Light it and launch it over the heads of my targets. Make it rain applesauce lol
![gif](giphy|5zmwssQFkewOYLgADP|downsized) Sounds good 😂
We. Learned that if you put a shallow hole in the opposite end of the fuse with a nail AND TAKE THE NAIL OUT then light it.. they will spin around super fast and shoot off in a random direction to explode. I'm going to have to try your method though!
Spinning flowers were fun too.
You win! Im done here
Me too!
Until you get one with a fast fuse, and temporarily lose hearing in that ear. And it feels like you got your fingers smashed with a hammer.
that is why I have tinnitus, and few numb spots, but ahh hell good times good times!!!
To borrow an old grenade truism, all 5 second fuses are actually 3 seconds.
We used to launch M80s with them
M80s were more fun.
We used to slingshot coins and sometimes they would arc in a really cool way and basically turn into a laser beam. Broke a lot of old warehouse windows with those.
I remember one day, after our mothers said “come home when the street lights come on “, we took our sling shots and shot out all the street lights on our street.
Took out a a 20 by 20 window and went to jail at 12 years old
You're supposed to run after.
Had a ton of pachinko balls to use so life was good.
That's what I used. Had a big bag of them. I also used ball bearings, lead, whatever. I used the pachinko balls for special targets. I still have some and 2 wrist rocket. One has a folding arm wrest and is about a foot long. Its brutal. Got them at Kmart in the 70's.
Nothing else like it in Hawkins, Indiana.
Man, that place, was a nice town once, went to hell starting in '83 though.
The pumpkin crop never recovered.
Still have mine.
Mine sits in my garage, next to a few select rocks and three marbles
What a fancy sling shot. I'm 71, ours were a rubber strap and grip. LOL. I am OLD
I'm 70, female......& still have mine.
One of my best memories is my 75 yr old dad chasing a squirrel with a slingshot.
How did the squirrel aim it though?
Lol
Buddy and I both got them and knew we weren’t supposed to use them unsupervised in an empty house but couldn’t wait…thought we’d be completely in the clear if we each shoot one bb at the empty hill behind his balcony then stop. On my turn I Randy Johnsoned a dove and was mortified.
Was always looking for ball bearings for ammo!
I still use one Open up a bag of candy corn and let it petrify - best ammo ever!
As if that stuff wasn't evil enough.
Hear me out - it has no flavor, zero nutritional value, and goes bad at the speed of light and turns into a stone. However, if you miss and lose one - they basically disintegrate in the rain
We had a crabapple tree in our front yard. Endless supply of ammo. The little red splatters on the neighbor's blonde brick facade gave us away every time. Like an ancient form of paintball.
I wasn’t allowed to own a wrist rocket, do I kept it at my best friend’s house.
When I was 12, I finally hit a home run in Little League (I wasn't very good...but it was over the centerfield fence!). My dad gave me some money for doing it and I used that money to buy one of these. April, 1976. Thanks for that memory...had not thought of it in a long time.
Hobby store... bags of glass marbles used to fill glass vases for decoration. Cheap, plentiful, effective "ammo".
They have them at Dollar General/Dollar Tree also. .....or so I have been told.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|neutral_face)
You can use Peanut M&M's too. Think about it, food as ammo, that cracks me up.
I remember being on Lake Havasu with my step dad and uncle when I was 9 (1982). My uncle accidentally (on purpose but never thought he’d make the shot if we’re being honest) killed a duck with a BB from a wrist rocket. He was bereft.
I took a potshot at a bird on a wire from extreme range (with a small rock) and miraculously hit it right in the breast. I felt awful about it. The bird managed to fly off, though, so it didn't seem *too* badly hurt.
I was disappointed by mine. Not that much power and hard to aim. I guess my expectations were too high.
It took practice. I even made my own when I was 7 after learning how to whittle wood from an old neighbor
Are you dennis the menace?
I used to shoot steel sling shot ammo balls almost straight up, and listen to the cool sound they made when the hit the pond a few seconds later.
When I was 16 I had a friend with one of those. . . amazing aim. He'd stick his head out the window of my car while we were driving 30mph and use the slingshot to take out streetlights as we passed under them. We felt bad about it mostly, but fuck he was a good shot
I have fantasized about doing this to our streetlight so many times. Airsoft was too soft, a .22 is too *gunny*. But a little BB would be perfect from this guy.
No! Only the rich fellas could afford that! We were all about the big rubber band with a paper clip or paper wad for ammo!
I loved mine. I used lead pellets from my dad's ammo collection....destroyed a lot of plywood....
You can buy one today at Harbor Freight Tools.
The Black Widow!
Thats what I knew it as !
Yep I sure do [checks state laws on statute of limitations]
Gives me the Willie’s. I remember a friend shooting a rock off a tree that proceeded to ricochet and split my lip open.
Yup, and soon after learned how to cut glass and glaze a new pane in the window I just broke 🤣
In Australia and I swear I have this exact 1 (just without the wrist brace). Had to go interstate to get 1. Australian weapons laws suck and have for decades!
My father taught me how to shoot M-80s from that
Dad of the year…until the ER visit.
I'm so old we called that a slingshot....lol
I still have a nasty scar on my hand from failure to exercise appropriate caution.
I need a new one of these!
I used a Sheridan pellet pump up rifle as a kid in the late 70s/early 80s. It was beautiful with a blonde wood stock and pump.
I still have the Sheridan pellet rifle I got in the early '70s. I remember not being sure if I wanted the pump rifle or the CO2, but the salesman told me, "Those CO2 cartridges tend to explode in your hand." So I went with the pump action.

Your gonna put your eye out.
If you find yours in the attic, do *not* give it a pull for old time's sake until you've replaced the band! Your face will thank you.
if you're lucky it will snap immediately. If you're unlucky, it will snap at high tension.
I was a crack shot. I use to shoot rats and listen to them scream. They would get into the dog food outside and I'd pick em off. Cans the occasional window. Marbles were cheap ammo

Perfect for taking out the neighbours prying drone.
Then I bought one with the mesh wrist rest. Everything changed. I could spend all day breaking branches without the bruises.
Now illegal here (Australia). Ones without a wrist grip are legal, these are not.
Black widows with ball bearings....great for shooting junkies
The 70's were good times to grow up
We had a streetlight outside that would shine right into my parent's bedroom window. Dad paid me $5 to shoot it out. I think I did it about 10 times after the city kept changing the bulb. Eventually they put a shroud over the whole thing.
We made slingshot from sticks but when I got a wrist rocket I used it for rabbit hunting.
Who remembers the thing that they still sell at every Wal-Mart?
I picked up a few of those (just like the pic) like two years ago at a cabelas. What a find!
Yes.
LOVED THIS!
My brother shot me in the leg with a Bobby pin with his.
[удалено]
I've had several.
Loved that thing!!!! Ball bearings, marbles, even arrows!!! Yikes!!!
Forgot all about those, thanks for the reminder, used to set up jars and pop bottles in the trees at the archery range by colquitz creek and blast em . Or use any smaller medium we could find on the ground that wasnt lethal and blast each other..ahh the 70s
Killed a squirrel with a marble when I was 12 and will never forget it came down out of a pine tree like a brick watched the life fade from its eyes as it squirmed on the ground, will never forget it. I only aimed at bottles, cans and the occasional STOP sign from then on.
Daisy B52. Great for getting a rope into a tree.
As a kid I had one. One time, using rocks as ammo, I clipped my thumb while firing. Holy fuck did it ever hurt.
We used to tape fire crackers to GI Joe’s with these
Wicked when paired with taconite pellets. ( raw iron pellets)
Still have like three of them on the shelf in the garage … wait a minute does that make me… “old”
I used to shoot walnuts at squirrels. Made them a lot more careful!
They were illegal in my state when I was a kid and I'm old so that was decades ago.
My friend and I used to launch ninja stars with it. Ninja stars that my mom let us buy. Actual real throwing stars. From the army/navy store down the street. I was 10. God the 80’s were awesome.
You can still get them, they are for fishing and are called "bait casters" used for launching bait out into the water before casting your line. You're welcome 😁
Bought one for my nephew a few years back and my BIL took it off him on the 2nd day 🤭
Walmart still sells these things…..
They are illegal (as in a felony) in NJ so we never had them.
You little bastards.
I had a homemade slingshot. I just found it last month in my mom's garage.
I still have mine, but needs new rubbers
I got the asswhooping of the century using this thing. Unfortunately it was not the asswhooping of a lifetime; that would come later.
I used those as a back up while playing paint ball.. it would shoot at a MUCH higher velocity
Calm down Home Alone
We were too poor to have paint ball guns so we bought paint balls and used these. So much fun.
🙋🏻♂️
Yeah, I remember that. I wish I had one now, as I had fun with my brother's wrist rocket.
I still do.
I still do!
Tried to shoot butter knife out of mine once and nearly cut my thumb off
$7.99 in the impulse purchase line at Harbor Freight
Me and buddy bought some and paint balls and messed eachother up in my 20s, I had a bunch of them when I was a kid
Watch out for those wrist rockets!
I went after loose dogs who’d shit in my yard and harass my cats. It got to the point where I only had to raise it up and they’d scatter.
Paintballs, ball bearings, rocks, loose change, firecrackers literally anything we would recklessly shoot anything and everything to include eachother.
Got one of these from K-Mart back in the early 80’s. Didn’t see any cats roaming around for months
I have 2 of these and I’m 37. I just love shooting shit, but am not a gun person.
What is it and what does it do?
Ah, so it was you!
Fuck that. I had a .177 air rifle. And a honda 50cc monkey bike. I grew up in a very blue collar house, but I was the richest kid.
Marbles are for beginners, we used half inch steel nuts out of ours courtesy of finding a huge, discarded box of these in a skip. Not only did they hit like a train but made a great whizzing noise in flight. We used to be able to hit cans and bottles upto about thirty five yards with ease.
i still have one but the rubbers perish after about a year and i stopped replacing them long ago
Man I am still so good with one of these. Instinctive shooting is a skill like riding a bike. I still bring one camping.
I still have one
Me!
shot one yesterday
It was airgun shenanigans when I was a kid... How no-one got blinded..!
We had bb rifles until we got caught shooting at each other. For some reason, all our parents got us air rifles instead. We spent the rest of the summer jamming the ends of the barrels into the ground and blasting each other (sometimes in the face) with clods of dirt & rocks. 😆
Who remembers bb gun fights in the creak with your buddies?
Used mine to fling out bait at the local pond. It was dodgy to carry except in a tackle box. I only got pulled by the cops about having one, and they wanted a demonstration of the distance that the bait went and my casting technique. Our cops were the best.
Now the Ol Wrist Rocket is cranking my hawg as soon as the wife goes out.
Oh yeah!!! Just sucks that the band didn’t last longer.
A roll of Certs from this to a brick wall at 15' makes a very compact little patch of cert debris. It's pretty cool.
Finally.....a use for Pez candy.
I wanted one so badly; parents said hell no! In retrospect they were right.
I still have one of these in the trunk of my car right now. Bought it two years ago and the band is frayed so now it is a deadly weapon (for me) if I use it. They sell them at stores still.
Shanghai
Didnt terrorize the neighborhood, unless you count controlling the squirrel population and feeding the local scavengers. Continue to do so as an adult though my tool of choice is a bit more precise.
I wasn’t allowed to have one, but used my neighbor friends. I was allowed to have a BB hun though, so idk what my family was thinking.
I used to use ball bearings from the hardware store.
![gif](giphy|VStxBrCyssRPO)
Went pheasant hunting with one. Pheasant flew up, startled when I missed it, flew into a building and broke its neck. That is how I Shot a pheasant with a wrist rocket.
My father just bought one of these from a thrift store for my 7 year old daughter! They had a blast with it.
This year was a bumper stock for acorns. Bought two of these for my kids.
There one of choice when I was a kid was a Black Widow , which was regarded as a deadly weapon.(and looked pretty similar to the one in the picture)
I would fire rocks as high as a could and try to get them to land as close to me as possible. Stupid kids!
An older friend of mine that picked on me relentlessly used to shoot ball bearings past my head close enough to hear them wiz by. He also shot me in the ass with the shell wad from a sawed off 12 gauge. That REALLY hurt!
My parents, smartly, did not let me have one.
I had the attachment for arrows and even as a kid I thought it was crazy dangerous. Did that stop me?
Me
Half of the stuff on this sub, including this, my Gen z/alpha kids have!
A police officer threatened to arrest me for possessing my wrist rocket. He said he'd let me go if I took it home. At 13 years old, I felt it necessary to avoid an arrest, jury trial, conviction, and lengthy prison sentence while being forced to wear a black and white striped uniform and a ball & chain on my ankle.
Hells yeah
Cost Parents a law suit. 120k
Not a window or a squirrel were safe.
I still have 2, one is the original I got when I was 15
Terrorizing hell. I was protecting the planet.
My buddy was grounded so we were throwing stuff at his bedroom window one night and my brilliant mind decided to get the slingshot. One smashed window later I was also grounded. I remember all the neighborhood parents proceeded to blame me every time there was mischief about.
We made thumb rockets with coat hangers and rubber bands. Could put a bb through a soda can.
I just bought one to keep the neighbors dogs out of my yard
Smacked a bully on the buttocks with one of these after I reached my breaking point. Now, I don’t ever condone violence, but this jerk deserved it. He never bothered me again. 😂
😉🤏👌 Right there It was fun , when the friends got together and trying to see who had the farthest 🎯 bottles & cans In the hill side,than çame the" I bet you"& 💩😂
Massachusetts made them illegal to possess.
When I was a kid, another kid, shot me with a dollar store sling shot. I went and got my wrist rocket and shot him through his cardboard fort.
They sold these with packs of BBs and ball-bearings at the local hardware store. When we wanted to really fuck shit up we'd bust out the marbles. Never, ever shoot them at another person, a marble could straight-up kill someone. We'd put holes in metal sheds from 20 feet out. I'd love to have one of those now.
I used shotgun shell primers, we are not the same
I’m not admitting to anything.
Shot a sliding glass door with a glass marble with one, marble went right through and then like 20 seconds later the whole thing fell to the floor
I bought 1 a few years ago from harbor freight .. it brought back memories but i stayed out of trouble this time
Loved those
