Remember the 'toys' we made??

Ahem...I'm told that some guys actually went into the houses that were under fabrication and made off with certain gauges of electrical wire to make slingshot ammunition from! I'm also told that the method was to cut the wire off at lengths of about  1-2 inches and bend the pieces over in a horseshoe shape. This made the perfect projectile for slinging at 'targets' using a slingshot made from a wire coat hanger, some tape for the handle and a few good strong rubber bands...or neoprene gasket material if one was lucky enough to stumble upon it. All this I'm told!
