    Used to have hours of fun with a gatt (catapult) made out of a Y shaped stick, bits of lastic from Lythes, an old booit tongue and some shot wire fron t'coil in cellar. Could do some reyt damage with em enall, not like these modern day playstation thingies where it's only pretend damage :)

    I've got my Dad's and it's an absolute beauty. The stick was cut back in the 40s, then he pimped it up in the 90s with some surgical tubing he procured from my sister's hospital porter boyfriend.

    It's lethal. He'd lie in wait and ambush cats crapping in his garden, then shoot them in the arse with little pebbles he carried in his pocket. Proper boys own stuff. It was funny as eck and I'm an animal rights activist. :D

    What was the cheap pellet gun where you pushed the barrel in to **** it? I thought that was a gatt.
