That is just hillarious! When I was a kid, I saved for months to buy one of those daisy's. Finally, I clipped the coupon out of a comic book and mailed it away with my money. $9.95 cash, for the cheaper one. A few weeks after that, I had gone from excited to disappointed because I thought it was just a rip off. I had never bought anything through the mail before. I vowed that would never happen again. Back then, I hadn't even bought anything worth that much money before! I was really choked.
One day it finally arrived in the mail and I was ecstatic. I got in a bit of trouble because I hadn't talked to my parents about it beforehand, but I made it through and convinced them it would all be OK. I'd be careful. I'd be responsible. please. please. please. etc. etc. lmao.
I was allowed to shoot it out of my bedroom window at targets in the garden. After a while, birds became a pretty good target, or so I thought. Finally I hit a sparrow and was almost surprised after killing it. I guess I figured I had already hit the ones I had shot at prior, but the gun wasn't powerful enough to kill them. No way I could have missed. lol. Clearly, I needed to test the rifle to see how powerful it really was.
I can't imagine why I might wonder if it would shoot far enough to hit the neighbours house but, ....well, that's what I wondered. After taking a shot at the house, and not hearing the BB hit the wood siding, I knew the rifle would only kill a sparrow if I hit the sparrow just right. It didn't even reach the neighbours house. Unless...... maybe I would hear it better if I shot at the window. After 3 shots at the window, I proved my theory correct. I didn't hear a thing. The gun was a dud. Then the neighbour came out of her house screaming and pointing at me in my bedroom window.
The gun went under my bed pretty quick and I was out the front door and on my bike in a hurry. I don't know how long I stayed away from home but eventually I figured out I had to eat at some point. Needless to say, when I walked in the door, **** hit the fan big time. I was never allowed to have it back after that. The neighbour told my mom that two BB's went past her head and into her wall.
Stupid kid.
