Nice collection you had there. Too bad you had to part with them. I have a few old ones but near as many as you.
I had to chuckle at your talk of "war games" . We used to do the same as kids, the whole neighborhood looked like a war zone, kids in trees, on roof tops, under cars, you never knew where the next shot would come from. I still can see a BB through the skin on my thigh. Usually I could just pop em out, like a pimple, but this one was just too deep.
