Heheheeeee, yes Sir! Very good times.
Here's a few me and my brother and my friend used to do.
Hang airplanes on a tree branch. Then two guys would shoot at each others planes with pellet guns. When all of your aircraft are shot down, you lose.
There was a big sand pile/cat toilet nearby. We would set up fortifications and put our army men, tanks, artillery, everything in them. Then stand back about 20, 30 feet and lob rocks into each others fortifications, kinda like an artillery strike. When you got a hit on something that should burn, time to break out the charcoal lighter, and doushe down the affected vehicle/fortification, and torch it. This would always degenerate into, torch everything. Yeah baby. There is nothing like the smell of burning plastic and cat sh1t on a summer afternoon. It smells like,,like,,,,burning plastic and cat sh1t......heheeeeeee
Our grandpa gave us these things called pest controllers once. They came in an old white box that had a rat running down a tunnel with a big explosion behing him and the words "Pest Controllers" on the top. He said "These are pretty big, I don't want you boys holding these in your hands when you light them." That was it. Then he gave me and my brother two handfulls of them each. We had about ten apiece.
When we got home, we decided to light one off. We thought grandpa was full of it. They looked like those cherry bomb smoke bombs, only they were made of particle wood. We didn't want to waste the explosion, if there was one, so we put a car model on top of one and lit it. Holy Moly Jesus! That was a big explosion! It vaporised the model and made a mushroom cloud thirty feet high. I had two big boxes of car models. The only thing left of them by the end of the day was no bigger than your fingernail. We were blowing them up eight and ten at a time.
One pest controller no-no, we found a really big ant hole. So we buried a pest controller a couple of inches from it with just the fuse sticking out. We lit it and stood back about twenty feet. It blew up and in the mushroom cloud funnel it pushed up a lot of dirt and p1ssed off ants. It started raining dirt and ants and those little mothers were biting us.We were covered in them. That thing blew a two foot crater in the ground.
Other fond memories,
A lighter and a can of zippo lighter fliud. It looks exactly like a miniature flamethrower. A lot of plastic got melted with that.
A lighter and mom's aqua net. OK for flamethrower attacks on the fortifications, a lot better on ants and spiders. She must have thought something was up at some time or another. We must have burned through a can a week for awhile there.
A bic lighter covered in model glue. That will be the most beautiful blue ball of fire you will ever see.
Estes rocket motors and 5 feet of pvc pipe. We weren't as inventive as you guys. We just put it in the bottom of the pipe, stuffed in the "Guns and Ammo" waterproof fuse, and lit it. Under a huge fir tree no less. The motor went about 30 feet up in the tree and started banging around. Then it stopped. We heard it dropping through the branches, and thats when I remembered it was a second stage D. We started running, heeheeee
A picolo pete and a match. A picolo pete is a firework on a little base that just sits there and sparkles and lets out a loud whistle. A "safe" one. heheeehee. One of the geniuses figured out if you smash it flat with a rubber mallet, then light it, it explodes pretty big. That degenerated into stuffing the smashed picolo pete into one end of a one inch pipe, and small rocks into the other. Them d@mn rocks sting man....
I shouldn't say anymore, I don't want anyone getting any ideas
Ahhhhhh, good times, good times....
