When I was about 8 years old (circa 1962), me and a friend were shooting my BB gun in the basement and a shot riccocheted off the cinder blocks and nailed me right in the forehead, between the eyes. (We were real geniuses.) I had a welt for a week.

You should have tried shooting wooden match sticks, they pop and burn when they hit the wall. They also made great darts, but that has to remain a secret.

Searching, I found this:

Originally manufactured by Daisy in the 1930s, the Buck Rogers’ Atomic Disintegrator is the most celebrated ray gun, by which all others are judged. Go Hero is set to release a limited edition functioning replica. Pull the trigger to spark, pop, and defeat the evil invaders!

Cripes, if you’d said you were 15 or 16 in 62, I’d have asked if you were my dad. Exact same scenario.
