I had one of these. I had so much fun having shoot outs on the street with all the the lads.
Didnt do me any harm, we were just allways told to aim low and have fun.

Oh mate, me & my mates used to have these. That brings back some memories.

Great fun!

Funny really. 30/35 years ago there were no problems with guns or knives.
My Mum and Dad never allowed me to have an air riffle untill I was 18 (and when I got to 18 I wasnt bothered untill I got to 22 years of age to buy my 1st one) But they let me have the cap guns, they bought be a Daniel Boone toy replica that fired big plastic bullets when I was 11 and even let me have a Gat pistol when I was 14 as long as it was allways used at the top the garden with no one about.
I was responsible and am glad to say my parents trusted me. Had I have let them down privilages soon got removed.

Yeah I had one of those --- plain silver I think !!! On the subject of being responsible -- you have to give a kid SOME rope to see how he or she handles it and gets used to it --- kids these days don't get any exposure for most of their little lives and then it's all dropped on them in one great heap -- then they go overboard !!!!!!

I had guns & knives from an early age & with my dad being a farmer he had a few 12 gauges including a pump action, a 2.2 bullet (i don't recall what make) & some 4/10s. With me growing up with them i learnt to respect them & what they're capable of. My brother had an air rifle from being around 12 & then i ended up with it. When i was 18 i had my first certificate & bought a side by side ejector & spent many hours rough game shooting. I loved it, some of the best days i've spent :) :) :) :)

i had a spud gun, great fun until we found air pistols, proper wars with them over the old waste site. many a time i got shot in the head or face. jumping off bridges into trees and climbing up drainpipes to blocks of flats. didnt see the danger when we was young. rather stupid now when you think of it.
-
i did see a while back the most dangerous game ever played is lawn darts, more fatalities in that than any other game prodcued
-
I never really had a spudgun, was taught fro an early age how to handle a Webley Junior air pistol safely though.
I can only dream of the days of yore, such as when dad used to hand-load his own real pistol ammo :D
-
I remember using one of these in Brookwood/Woking in 1959

We used to nick our mums fairy washing up bottles and have water fights in the street with em...the original super soakers.... :P

I remember spud guns. The only trouble i got in was once my potato had no skin left it never fired as well so i'd run home & pinch another spud. I had an old air pistol that would hardly reach the end of the room (Gat gun?) Then a Diana 177 rifle. We used to wander around the Sussex woods (all built on now) shooting stuff.
We also had penknives & never killed anyone. Times change.

We had spud guns powered by a paper cap,remember them? and as for Knives, as a Boy Scout we used to openly carry some quite big ones...............
