Couldnt decide if this is best in the Walt thread, or the Internet links thread, so will let someone else make the decision.

As we got older it was water pistols/ cap guns/spud guns/Sekiden pistols then on via Gats and Diana or Webley air pistols to the Air Rifle!
Today watching small children pick up a stick and go Bang Bang makes me realise somethings never change!
This was a time where children in the UK had only three channels on their TV sets, a time before Playstation or access to the internet, leaving me and my mates to make up the numbers in our games and depend on our imaginationâ.

but i do a bit of a story
During my Det commanders course in January 1991, in the run up to Op Granby, there was little or no blanks and only one or 2 thunder flashes.
the course veered along with lots of shouts of bang bang etc and we came to the covering open ground and throwing a grenade scenario, but there were no grenades, and worse still no thunder flashes.
so each section had to scour catterick training area for potato sized stones and launch these at the pretend enemy, took me back to being a kid, so as i launched mine i shouted large stone as i threw mine.
this was quickly followed by me jogging around the training area with my Real Weapon above my head, a stick one would have been better!!
i also think this episode helped in my getting a F in the course.
fun times though.
