Bottle rocket wars were the best.

We'd form teams, then light BRs and toss them at the other side. The final year we did it, I found a three foot aluminum tube. We could light the BR in the tube and aim it like a bazooka. It was 4th of July, so a bunch of us were shirtless. The tube/bazooka was much more accurate. We hit one of my friends in his bare chest with a shot. It blew just as it hit him, and left him with a burn that looked like a third tit. We all thought it was hilarious, including him after the burning subsided. (Lord knows if he'd got hit in the eye )

Yeah, those were the days.

Ours included roman candles for close quarters combat.

The stick of the bottle rocket fit perfectly down the BB gun barrel, almost by design. We would put the bottle rocket stick down the BB gun barrel, leave the fuse out the side for easy lighting, and use it as a shoulder mounted rocket launcher for preteen boys.

We also had BB gun wars but used rice instead of bb’s. The rice would detonate into a fine dust on impact in an early form of paintball. Hurt like hell, left a huge bruise, and there was never a doubt when you hit someone.
