We'd pump our .22 Benjamans up about 20 cranks or so to hunt squirrels or possums and whatnot. After viewing what they would do to those critters, we were a bit hesitant to use them for combat....always some psycho in the crowd who would not honour the 1 or 2 pumps maximum rule. Molotov cocktail arty contests in large drainage culverts were fun too....a little sugar and styrofoam bits mixed in. Booby trapping one's treehouse from rival gangs of hooligans was also a treat. Then there were always pipe bombs.....that was ended rather quickly when a friend making one in a coffee can dropped something in the powder in a can and decided to look for it with a lit match....he was our honourary Darwin member. His face is still pink and his eyebrows sparse from that some 30 odd years later.

Our rule was that no multiple pump or pellet firing guns were allowed. Single-pump Daisey 25's firing brass BB's. And of course the Infamous BB Machine Gun that fired lead BB's at relatively low velocity.
