It’s all good fun until someone puts an eye out.

I shouldn’t laugh. As a kid I was shot in my right eye playing war games. The BB was lodged behind my eyeball for 3 days. It wasn’t a Daisy either it was one of those pump up pellet style guns by Crossman.

So how’d you get it out, with a fish hook?

When I was a kid, we played “Army” and used BB guns and we’d take pieces of aluminum foil, put gravel in it and wad it around a cherry bomb for “grenades”...

We didn’t injure anyone, but it stung like hell....

One of the classic 1960’s Crossman ‘Powermaster’ 760 BB/Pellet pumpers!?

As a kid, I had a Crossman. My cousins had them too, and we were out in the country shooting at inanimate stuff when we came upon some ducks on a pond. Both cousins shot at the ducks, barely causing a flutter. I shot, and the ducks flew away, except for one. I had put a pellet right through its neck.

Ah, the days before paintball guns were commonplace. Been there, done that, got the small, deep bruises. We did manage not to shoot one another in the face, though - sounds like in your case, someone on the opposing team ignored the rules (or was just a peckerhead).

“It’s all good fun until someone puts an eye out”

We wore goggles when we ‘warred’ on each other with our $4.95 RED RYDERS
