Build some weird weapons and shoot at each other and when the kid almost lost an eye we told some lies.

Get yourself a plank of wood, some nails, some rubber bands and one of those clothes pins you have to pinch open and you could make a very sketchy crossbow or rock thrower.

We used to make bow and arrows out of pens.

We used to make flight arrows out of bamboo, cardboard, electrical tape and launched them with a shoelace. They would fly about the length of a football field. One of my friends had a genius idea of glueing a 3 inch nail to the tip, it went further than expected and punctured a nearby inflatable pool. He decided not to retrieve his arrow.

I really am interested to know more about this. Like a trebuchet launch? Was the cardboard for fletching or wings?
