We used to take a whole roll of caps, put it on the sidewalk and whack it with a hammer to get a good explosion.

And like MasterMindreader, we too used the hammer now that I recall. But the ball of caps? I never saw that one and I thought I saw it all. My father and I used to make firecrackers when I was a kid with chemicals you could buy in the local drug store, thin cardboard rolled into tubes and brown paper bag paper fashioned into black powder fuses. They made a pretty loud bang. But in the end it was labor intensive to make a lot of them and cheaper to just buy some for the Fourth of July.

Exploration for them is simply a google search. Everything that can be done has been done and there's a video on youtube. Now if a kid wonders what will happen when they put 5 rolls of caps in a microwave for 2 minutes, they never get to learn true creativity when they try to figure out a way to blame their younger brother for the fire damage in the kitchen. And homemade firecrackers?!?!!? Color me intrigued. |

Well, our boys have a whole arsenal of toy guns, swords and daggers. Some parents disapprove, that's their right I suppose. Our daughter has a doll that wets itself. My eldest turned 13 yesterday, and all the kids were out playing in the field after dark.
It hasn't gone away, thank God, but you do have to enable it a bit more these days. The caveat I would add, though, is that living in the UK, where private gun ownership is illegal, toy guns carry less baggage, for most. Anyway, that image of the red roll sticking out the top of the cap gun took me back to a very happy time. Those were the days |

I have a picture of myself at about age four with the two-gun set and holster on a rocking horse. Don't know whatever happened to the holster and the other gun, but I lost my two front teeth on that *** horse!

Oh, okay the holster deal and the horse. I always envied my cousin's horse and Lone Ranger mask. But how the heck did the gun make it to 2012?

We used to blow up my backyard all the time. Don't tell anyone.

Ok, back to dolls, sort of...
This one is kinda messed up, but the really creepy part is the girl. I just know she probably grew up to be the mother of a serial killer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsOnhzIX74k |

I still have my Grandpa's Red Ryder BB gun somewhere. I'm also supposed to get his old wrestling figures once everything from the estate is organized.

Critter, I had my father's Daisy pump BB gun from the twenties but it didn't work. I found a guy in the midwest who repaired old BB guns and mine came back in perfect working order for shooting. The guy's rate was very reasonable and it now belongs to my fourteen year old nephew. I only mention this because I don't know the working condition of your Red Ryder. But that too is a great piece.

This one still works. It's not that old though. Probably the 80's. More sentimental value than anything else.
