We were model children who always played with our toys appropriately. *cough*  Of course we didn't use them as intended ! Are you kidding ?

My younger brother got poked in the eye with a steel tipped lawn jart. Sent him directly to the emergency room. My friend Jimmy impaled his foot. Thank goodness his tetanus shots were up to date. I don't think he even told him mom. He just limped home with a giant blood stain on top of his sneaker.

Lookit, in the 60's we didn't have Nerf guns. We shot at each other with BB guns. Without eye protection. I only got injured once when a BB struck me in the elbow. I just squeezed it and it popped out like a zit. We were tough, back in the day.

BTW, that Whammo crossbow had a fifteen pound pull. The box said "Ages 8 and up". Hah ! We used to shoot pencils through quarter inch plywood with it.

DISCLAIMER: Don't try any of these things at home, kids. You'll shoot your elbow out !
