I have a childhood friend who caught one of those with a glancing blow to the head, a couple inches away from a direct hit. She still has quite a scar that she covers with her hair style.Dad still has a set he won't part with them.

It is so wrong that I immediately thought about buying 100 and donating them to Toys for Tots... in Chicago.It's on Amazon for about $38 all in.
I wonder if you can 3D print the vanes for those. Then all you need to do is make the metal body spike, and the straw thing with a screw cap to hold it all together.I still have a pristine set of "Jarts" in the box
I learned how to shoot with a daisy red ryder in my basement. Not exactly the best platform to learn on but you will develop good trigger control. The red ryder at 5m is more than good to develop some skills and safe handlingThose water powered rockets that you pumped up? Or those copter thingies, that you launched into the air with a rubber band on a stick? And Crosman BB guns, when they were made from real wood, and solid metal?
There was something satisfying as hell watching a lawn dart bury itself into the dirt.

Also, that thing you heated up the goop to make bugs or creatures. Can't remember the name.
Legos were great, but of course, they are still around.

Well if you like “daisy” style rifles this guy has all sorts of stuff and he mentions a guy making custom daisy riflesI love the "official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time." that I bought a few years ago but what would be really cool for me and I'm willing to pay for it is something that looks completely classic. I mean a collectors edition one, not the one that comes from Walmart, but something that looks authentic with a fancier stock, engraving, etc. That would be cool. To do something like Henry does with their lever action rifles.
My Fanner 50 for the win
I have a set of Jarts. Had a Daisy Red Ryder BB gun too when I was 8 or 10.
Another toy that was dangerous was the Glass Clackers:
Malodave
Hell, we use to throw them at each other. No one got hurt. Much.Never dawned on us while playing lawn darts that we could get hit. Why? Cuz in 1982 we weren't staring at smartphones!
We did it with multiple arrows shot straight up and then we all laid down. Nobody got hit but rolling out of the way had to be a split second decision on occasion.We played with regular darts out on the lawn. One kid would throw darts as high as they could, another would use a dart board to catch them on their way down. The danger of it was ridiculously obvious.
Good times!
Does anyone remember a toy called 6th finger probably from the mid 60’s. They can out during the series the FBI and man from UNCLE era.
