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

I remember using one of these in Brookwood/Woking in 1959

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.

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.

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...............

I see the old age is getting the better of you Mike, you remembered to go back and type something.
