    Yeah, triple barrel all the way, one on the top, one on either side...
    best thing was you could use the ammo that was fired at you!
    got a hiding next time me mam made jam though, all the elastics from the jam jar covers were gone!

    God that brings back memories!

    I also invented the very first "Tracer" peg.
    You know those little red stringy strips that you get in black bags? Well I attatched one of those to my most powerfull elastic band, so I always knew where it went, and it was fired from what was definetly the longest peg gun I made. Worked really well too, as I watched it being fired down the road by a friend and all you could see was this long red line. Man, I loved to fire that off everywhere, I used to call it a laser. :D

    My friend had one and now he's dead.

    Then again you shouldn't drive a motorbike the wrong way up a dual carriageway.

    the only way to nail it flat without breaking the peg is to use a Unail, but finding a unail to thread through the peg is more trouble than its worth. plus its hard to misfire if you do it my way

    We had and air rifle, a scope and pressurised aerosol cans.

    We also made pin bangers and imported suitcases full of fireworks (aged 10).

    peg guns are dangerous. I had elastic band gun (little less dangerous). You could load it up with 8 shots. But a friend of mine using the similar layout built one that could fire 20 either as single shots or multiple rounds.
