Oh my little brother took one in the eyelid when he was 12.

It was only at that point my mom confiscated the pellet and bb guns.

.....temporarily

My little brother hit me in the ass with a BB gun when I was riding my bike. My dad got a hold of him, made him walk out to the firing line and turn around. He was shitting his pants as dad pretended to aim and got ready to fire. He never did, but the lesson was learned. Eddie the Eagle couldn't have done a better job. Haha!! Gotta love the 70's.

BB guns were for losers! We used to make bow and arrows out of sticks and catapults out of metal coathangers. Those were the days!

Did you ever use the inner tyres from bikes, and the big sturdy cardboard tubes they used to have maps rolled up on in school?

Makes a mean tube-catapult, when combined with lead shot.

Old soda cans, tape, tennis balls, and lighter fluid: cool cannon. Seems to work best when you make a naïve little brother stick the match in the ignition hole. LOL
