He made my brother and I pecan guns. Basically a 2" steel pipe with a pipe cap on one end, and he drilled a hole in the pipe cap so the firecracker fuse could go through. Put some wadding in the pipe and load it up with a pecan. It was our own pecan muzzleloaders. We'd have mud clot wars with the neighbors after a big rain. Neighbor had a tree house, we didn't. We started turning the tide of the wars when we brought out the old pecan guns and fire them at the neighbors. The pecans would explode on impact when it hit the side of that tree house. The mud flinging wars always ended shortly after the pecan guns came out, for some reason..
I don’t want to get political so no one please don’t this great thread, but it’s so sad that this piece of America is gone. That’s a all-around red blooded kind of Americana story that is never coming back. Your story is awesome and reminds me of the crap we did growing up. Our firecracker and pine cone wars were epic.
