Way back in the 60s I was the only kid on the block with a BB gun (A Diana carbine look alike, a present from my aunt in Canada) and I used to shoot flies on the ceiling with it. This came to an abrupt halt when my Mum spotted all the little craters (well you could reuse steel BBs) where I had dug out the BBs from the plaster.
My DIY career started shortly afterwards with hole filling and ceiling painting.
