We used to shoot each other with bb guns. No goggles , no helmets.

BB gun battles were one of our favorite things to do when we were 9-14 years old. We’d get four to seven guys on each side (offense and defense) and head for the woods. No head shots allowed but nobody was counting! I remember getting some nice stinging welts from close range fire.
We always used googles and rubber helmets made out of tractor inner tubes.
I wasn’t allowed to have a BB gun, my dad said they made kids think guns are toys. He taught me to shoot at 9 and gave me my first gun at 13.
