    growing up in the streets of Juarez, with like 10 other neighborhood kids all around my age, we would play war , and we would make the following two weapons:

    Matagatos (Cat Killer) Rubber bands, a straw and a bobby pin , sharpen the bobby pin fold one end into the straw and use the rubber band to bind it , another to shoot it

    Tira-Lilas (Sling shoot) empty plastic bottle , ballon
    tear the tip of the ballon off , cut only the opening of the bottle leave about 2 inches from the opening of the bottle , slide the ballon over the opening of the cut bottle and use tip of ballon for support , we would use Lilas (green marble sized balls that grow on trees, need translation)

    ah good times
