I wonder how many imaginary stormtroopers, Nazis, aggressive alien species and ninjas I slew in my youth....

Our Army man wars were epic. This was in the late 1960's early 70's and most of us had collections running into the hundreds. We'd spend hours setting them up in little bunkers and trenches in the dirt, then we'd take turns tossing rocks and wiping them out in a massive rock artillery barrage (we'd add the appropriate sound effects verbally). Last one with troops still standing wins.
As we grew older we'd build ship models adding stones as ballast and firecrackers into the hulls. We'd anchor them in a small pond and flick lit matches at them until they'd catch fire and eventually explode into pieces once the flames reached the "magazine". Hollywood special effects had nothing on our youthful imaginations... ![]()

Um... yeah, the closest game I had to army men was "clod wars" with my brothers.
As you have already assumed, I should imagine, our ammunition consisted of dirt and rocks. That got painful, fast, but it was still fun... until someone hit someone else in the head. |

We need to market a suicide bomber, maybe for GI Joe or another. It can be safe too, it could be spring loaded to pop apart kind of like the rockem sockem robots heads that would pop up when struck.
