As a follow on to the "guns of youth" thread, crosman 766 thread etc, what are the myths you heard as a youth (Airgun related---keep it clean)? The common ones were either paratrooper or Relum related about going through a milk bottle without smashing it and breaking a widow at 200 yards. I know some of the advertising blurb bent the truth but lets keep it to what we heard off our peers.
Also---daftest thing you heard of someone doing ( again airgun related). Ive a feeling this might involve mainsprings.
