Ha ha but a good job they weren’t using real firearms like WB’s steel bb pistols.

I can relate to some of what he said... 🤦🏻♂️ That's how it was in the 80s in Hong Kong. I had a spring airsoft pistol and then later a green gas Mac-10.

I had a Sekiden and we would shoot each other in the cinema and in the school buses.

I had a Sekiden and we would shoot each other in the cinema and in the school buses. I had one (or two) of them as a kid too, from memory I remember them as having gold coloured plastic bbs that you placed in the hopper in the top of the gun (once you pulled back the sliding cover). Great fun until you ran out of bbs, I don't remember ever being able to buy more bbs for them. I'm sure the same company made a 'frisbee' type gun that used mini-disc type ammo, I could never get the hang of those ones, always curved to the right when you shot them. Happy days as a boy shooting those in games of 'war' with my friends (and enemies), a better rate of fire when compared to a peg-gun too. But it all stopped when I got my Daisy Colt SAA bb gun, that thing was lethal at a close distance.....I wish I still had that gun, I swapped it for a gat-gun back in the late seventies, I should've kept it. That's probably the reason I would never sell any of my guns now, the regret I felt as a boy about that Daisy Colt has mentally scarred me, lol. |

I think I had something similar in the early 80s. Ours were silver and the BBs were frangible. That's all I remember 🤷🏻♂️ |

I spent time in HK in ‘93 and ‘94. I left HK in 1990. I lived up in Tolo close to the PRC border. Used to take the train from University to Ming Kok then change to the MTR for the Island or the Star Ferry. Flying in and out of Kai Tak was amazing. |

We were in Hong Kong Island in Mid-Level for the latter part / the bits I remember as a child.
We digress...!

I got a telling off from our local bobby for walking along the main road with a Sekiden in my belt!
The road in question had no pavement, the panda car had gone by on the opposite side of the road but obviously did a U turn a bit further up as the next thing I knew it pulled in sharply in front of my friend and I. I had found that dried peas were a good substitute for the original ammo but fortunately the gun was empty by the time the policeman examined it.
I found the whole thing quite funny but my mate was convinced we were going to be arrested and imprisoned - I think I was about 12 at the time.
Cheers
Don
