We did that sober, each was allowed a metal trash can lid to use a shield.
Glass coke bottle with several rockets in one hand, trash lid in the other and a lit punk in our teeth.
Sometimes the rocket going off would light off some others. You learned the hard way to wait to see if you were shooting one or more before pulling back the bottle to put near your face with the lit punk in your teeth.
But usually, if the burns are not too bad, eyebrows grow back.
Parents today would be shocked to learn we lived if they knew everything we did as young teenagers.
Yep — we used to shoot CO2 powered BB guns at each other, we used to shoot bottle rockets at each other, we used to shoot fire extinguishers at each other. One time we got a high powered hose and turned it on each other. I’m amazed we are still alive. God protects idiots and drunks, and I’ve been both.
