stuckincincy Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Back in the days when kids were kids, squirt guns were for...squirts. Pea shooters with hard-hitting navy beans was our weapon of choice, followed by crab apples and carefully-grown ice balls and fist-sized icicle chunks.

We used to have some serious crab apple wars. You can get some good velocity by pinning them to the end of a sapling and slinging them towards the enemy.

There was a ratty old quince bush in the front yard where I mostly grew up. They made pretty decent ammo, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I swear to God, there's lessons that I learned playing in the woods that were actually useful later on in real life. Don't want to go PPP here, but if more youngun's played "war" like we did as a kids a few more might come back from the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Crab Apples would be great.....my brother and I, if we were REALLY pissed off, would start flingin' the petrified dog poop, though. The Crab Apple hurts more if you take a direct hit, but taking some poop to the head can completely demoralize your opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodBye Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Dried cow pies work great too! Actually the ones that were hard on the outside but squishy on the inside had a better effect on your opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fight with projectiles that hurts, you get VERY good at dodging them/blocking them from hitting you. Not liek today's pussified kids who fight with foam arrows. Another favorite was going into the neighbors huge garden right after halloween and having rotten/frozen pumpkin, tomato, corn, etc fights.
