So how did your childhood go?
Age 8 – cap guns, some with spring loaded plastic bullets – great fun with dominoes at 3 yards
Age 9 – Dick Tracy machine gun – caps and plastic spring loaded bullets fired – noise mostly
Age 10 – First Daisy BB rifle – off to target shoot and hunt mice in the fields (and slinghsots
, gotta have those)Age -12 – Diana .177 pellet rifle, break barrel single shot, lead pellets , mice and occasional crow
Age 15 – Learn how to handle a .22 Pellet rifle and .410 shotty, first for targets, cans and rats, second for prairie dogs. A 22 LR came along in there too.
Age 18 – Colt .45 and M-1 Garand (basic training and qualification)
Age 19 – M2 .50 cal deck mounted, assorted flare and grenade launchers, Thompson SMG and a few things bigger that shall not be named.
So, how did your childhood run on up to early adulthood with this theme?

Not too different from mine. Change out your M-1 for my Army issue M-16
Got my first cap gun at 7, a disc gun at 8, but the Red Ryder BB gun didn’t come until 12. At 14 got a .22 single shot rifle. 17 Army basic – M16, grenade, M60. 18 – M2, 120mm, 155mm. Lots of fireworks from Uncle Sam!

Got a.22 LR (Ruger of course) at about 12. The 16 gauge shotgun came along in high school.
Had a basic air rifle back in the late 70’s, the old type where you pumped the barrel
Used to plink cans with it. Now? Its a banned , regulated firearm.
Bleh.
