We were not allowed any thing like guns but we had a few good home made dobbers, my brother had a metal one that cost a couple of quid but was not as good as ours,
Then when my dad thought I was old enough I got a gnat gun, well I could have spit much further then the pellets went, then I got a 177 gun I think it was, so light weight and was so good.
