I had several: slingshots, BB guns, dart guns, yard darts, regular darts
Seems like today's kids don't have as many toys, all they have are video games |

I got a Winchester 9422 when I was 12 I guess you could put an eye out with that.
Not really a toy though. |

Lawn Darts. +1 Brilliant toy. +2 Still have my prebans oh, and a BB gun as well. |

Never had a BB gun. Just various toy guns that fired some sort of projectile. One that sticks out was a red pistol that fired from a detachable box magazine, red, rubber projectiles, shaped like a pistol cartridge. That thing always left whelps on my neighbor. So I imagine it could have put an eye out.

Red Ryder, Nerf guns, and a game called "Crossfire" Nooo!!!! Now I'm going to have that damn song from the Crossfire commercial in my head for months again. |

THIS. I hung a rope from our tree in the backyard and tied a knot in it. I would then pick up acorns by the bucket load and shoot at the knot. I was quite good. Also, acorns don't fly straight very often. |

The lego cannons they used for the pirate ships in Europe... The US versions were just boring chunks of plastic, but he European ones shot lego cannon-balls... Fucking awesome.
Our nanny-government was sure that kids would put their eyes out though, and banned them. I'm completely fucking serious... Now granted, those cannon-balls weighed probably five grains and could be thrown harder than they came out of those spring-loaded cannons... But none the less, OMGWTFBBQ, ban it for the childrenzs. |

lawn darts A little more than just putting an eye out. I still wonder if it was God or Darwin who came up with the idea. What a WONDERFUL toy. |

My favorite would be a toss up between my trusty crossman 760 powermaster ( wooden stock and metal reciever ) and my wrist-rocket slingshot .
I still have both eye's and a newer version of the bb gun. (pumpmaster w/ cheap plastic construction ) Need a new slingshot....it's been a while. |

Nice.
Anyway, back on subject. Here's a Tec-9 toy that "shoots" the same "bullets" as the gun I post about. Those bullets had some velocity on them. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x130/donkey13farmer/2289859076_d5e69b3336.jpg When I was a kid, I found a cap gun in Mexico that used the energy from the caps to propel toy rubber bullets through the barrel. Kinda like a toy blackpowder revolver, except it looked like any other cap revolver, and used the same caps. That thing was pretty nasty. Every few years, I'm reminded of it, and try to find one on google, but I haven't succeeded yet. Not sure on the legality, anyway. |

we had lawn darts!(still might have some) and those early "paintball" guns, what were they called? the magazine rotated. something-tag? it was about the size of a 22 cartridge. the guns were orange and yellow. mean little bastards!
ETA: i had a sweet little bb gun, then my dad bought me two different pellet/bb handguns. i think i still have one, a crossman. then again, some of us older ( or kids of older folks) never had child seats and remember laying in the back dash of the family car. my mom told me last year that i would never stay still, so she just let me roam around the car!! |

Wasn't crossfire the game that had maybe a hundred steel ball bearing you shot out of little guns mounted to the board? Or am I thinking of something else....... |

Cattle prod, chainsaw, welding torch, power drill, soldering iron...
Like most kids I grew up with I had free run of Dad's garage and shed. It was called Learning to Use Tools. <–––––––– still has ten fingers, two eyeballs, no major scars |

My old Beeman 22cal pellet gun...
25 pumps and that thing would shoot through a car door...proved it more than once. |

Yep, it didn't take much to unsnap the guns from the board though. *ETA* I forgot all about the rubber band guns I had. |

Got it in the '80s at a mall in FL when I was down there visiting my uncle. It was pretty fun until I broke the cocking handle off. |

rubber band guns...slingshot...lawn darts...bottle rockets...
I still remember going to the Gun and Knife show in J'ville and seeing the rubber band gatling gun that shot like a hundred rubber bands.... |

My younger got one of these for his birthday. He shot me right in the eye the very next day and IIRC he nailed the cat the day after. |

Quoted: My Red Ryder This. Plus there was a toy gun which shot these little yellow plastic pellets. Had a lot of those suckers hit in and around the eye. Called the Rayline Plastic Pellet Gun |

80's toys kicked ass. parents now days need to stop the faggotry with all the anime and pokemon crap. we didnt play with that shit...

How could I forget.....
They weren't actual "toys" per se..... but Bottle Rockets. |
|
Wrist Rocket slingshot. I was very careful with my BB guns so they were never a threat to put somebody's eye out. The slingshot was a different ballgame altogether. I was very reckless with it.
