“It will put your eye out.”

As a kid, we had a rule to never shoot above the neck in our BB battles...

You need to talk to the NFL about tackling.

We had the same rule. I got in lot of trouble when I came home with that spider web on my glasses! I still have that model 25 with the dent in the stock from another adventure.

It will put your eye out.

This is a line in a movie about a kid that gets a bb gun for Christmas, He ends up breaking his glasses and goes through a lot of stress with the bb gun.

The back of the ear was always favorite aiming point for me. After all the cheap-O BB guns didn't hurt much unless you hit something tender.

It wasn't like getting into a rock war down at the railroad trestle.

My brother shot me in the calf with his BB Gun. Stung like hell, but didn’t break the skin.

we had plastic firemen (today they’d be known as firefighter helmets). Once you got into a standoff, you’d only get to fire one shot, then had to duck your head and wait for the return shot. The smack of the BB told you of a headshot. The G*E(E)W@$$$ told you of a different hit.
