We've had nerf gunfights at my house every night since Christmas.
Those new Nerf Rival guns that shoot the little round mini foam golf balls are legit!
Adults commandeered them from the kids last weekend.

My kids were taught the toy guns were toys. We all played Cowboys and Indians, cops and robbers, etc. then when about 8 years old they got a BB gun and were taught the rules of firearms/weapons. So, yes on the toy guns.

Corn cob fights were brutal, especially if you soaked them in water overnight and dipped them in cowshit before you threw them. We would have 2 teams. One in the hay loft the other attacking. Great times!

Fire cracker wars was a pretty good time also. Night warfare, camo, & explosives.

Those were the days. Texas rockets shoved in a piece of pvc pipe held over your shoulder like a grenade launcher. M60s w slingshots, chasing people down w roman candles. The list goes on

I teach my kids the same thing. Don't point guns at people. Not even if its a toy gun.
They talked me into getting them air soft guns...when i found out they were shooting at each other w the airsoft guns...i smashed them w a hammer. I'm not going to let one of them 'take an eye out'.
We hunt ducks, doves, deer. I believe guns are to hunt with & to protect yourself & family. Dont point a gun at another person unless you intend to shoot them in self defense.
I work in an ER. I've seen many people with self inflicted wounds when cleaning an alledgedly unloaded gun. That's why i teach my kids...always treat a gun as if it were loaded.

Where do you want me to start? You paid money for something and didn't bother to find out what they were going to do with it? Instead of teaching them the difference, you just smashed the stuff with a hammer? I bet you didn't smash the PS4 when you found them playing first person shooter games...

I assumed he told them not to shoot each other with them.

The point, you missed it...

Been there, done that. Great fun.
Also corn cob police. One guy was the police. If he hit you, you went to jail (horse stall) The others could break the jail bird out by opening the stall. Would make me sick to have all of them in jail, and that last guy would spring them.

We had cows so we used cow pattys. There is an art to finding the ones that are still wet in the middle.

My kid has air soft guns. He has been taught from the first day how to handle it and to treat it as a real gun. My main reason for getting it for him was to teach him gun safety.

Yes i paid money for them, yes i smashed them.
They would not wear the safety eye goggles so i did what i had to do.
I have 5 boys aged 5-14. It'd be just a matter of time before one of them hurt eachother w an air soft gun. I've seen air soft gun bb's (not a bb gun bb) imbedded in kids hands in the ER. You raise your kids how you want & i'll raise mine. Thank you.

Use to take corn cobs and stick 3 chicken feathers in the end and throw up in the air and they would helicopter down. Hours of mindless fun Posted on 1/5/16 at 9:22 pm to TIGERBAIT2020

Make sure you soak rags in diesel and tie them around your ankles before any outdoor activities. We don't want to have to worry about the sugar ants eating your candy arse.
