I didn't sharpen them or anything. We took them into the basement and drew a target on the wall. When we threw them, they'd go right through the wall.

HEHE. well...when I was about 15 I made a shuriken from some thin sheet metal..It'd fly into trees really well..and it was sharp as!! On day my friend was with me...in a sudden stroke of stoopidity (we were known for that) I through one at him. It was aimed right at his head from about 8 metres away. Just before it hit him the wind must have caught it and blew it way off course. The metal was quite light so wind would blow it easily. Reminds me of the time he shot me in the lower eye with a blow pipe and dart.. Memorrieees!! -LW

Yikes! Your friend is lucky that it was a windy day.. and that you didn't have a thicker guage of steel. By the way ArchAngel... nice looking star. I'm sure people would love to see it in freestuff.

thank you now my story is me and my friend broke some knife blades off and welded them together adn used them they worked pretty good but we got in trouble by his mom because one got stuck in his leg. Not that deep but still his mom didn't like the idea of us haveing them so she took them away

We're an evil bunch. I wonder how many people will bleed because of what we've inspired here? Haha

Shurikens...feh.... ...now building your own flame thrower from an old vacuum cleaner when youre ten....then you have some stories! Scarab<-(...and so did my mom's cat.........)

Or the boat we made out of one 55 gallon drum we rolled three miles from a construction site to the local reservoir.

Or the raft made of driftwood, that sank on the River Thames, near London. See we are the same over here. ps the THames is tidal near London.

Starter fluid, pvc pipe and sharp wooden sticks...that's all I have to say

Nail guns: Take a 2x4" board, hammer a spike at one end, and bend it over a nice thick rubber band. At the other end, fasten a snap clothes pin. Stick a spike nail in the rubber band, and stretch back to the clothes pin, then secure it. To shoot, point, and click on the clothes pin to release the spike. Quite effective, and potentially deadly I'm sure. We were 6 & 7 years old at the time.

Broadswords at 18, still have the scars.

I have a pair of fencing sabres. I also bought a pair of used fencing masks on Ebay. No other protective gear or training. Haven't tried them out yet. Accident waiting to happen.

Then there was the time Mom caught us playing dodge darts with the lawn darts. No sense of humor, her. Maybe it had something to do with the army surplus landmines Dad planted in the yard to teach the neighbor dogs a lesson about where not to poop.

Or the memories of neighbors stamping out flaming bags of poop on their porches only to find homemade Punji spikes in them. Mom held a mean grudge when people didn't return her Tupperware.

Did you know that wooden matches fired from a BB gun make great incendiary weapons? Scarab <-(I think the statute of limitations has expired on that one..........)

Did you know that crumpled newspaper on a bend of a road in the dark looks like boulders?

Did you know my ex-wife once looked like Cinderella, but now looks like Godzilla's bad side? :oD

Mix equal parts chlorine tablets and common sugar. Fill glass jar 3/4 full. Add 1/8th jar of water. Seal tightly and RUN! Don't breathe fumes... very bad... Last time I did that (with friends in highschool) we did 5lbs each in one of those industrial-sized cardboard containers... you know, the ones that were the size of a waste basket with the clamp-on lids? The lid was so tight thatthe pressure blew out the bottom and launched the whole thing 30 feet up... FUN!

AND got rid of those nasty cockroaches, eh? Scarab
