Top 20 most desperate Soviet Toys, Straight from my childhood!

I was not some notorious hooligan, waif or punks. But when I think of what we were doing in the yard, I sometimes become a little uncomfortable. Our skills could envy zapravsky extremist - because of his interesting childhood told in a personal blog, the Russian photographer Alexey Marahovets

1. Bryzgalki

What do you think is "sikalka"? Something from the word "Sika". And there is. It is a popular water yard melee "fight" to the era of the appearance of disposable syringes in pharmacies.

Master "sikalka" from an empty bottle of shampoo or a liter plastic bottle "Whites." In a traffic jam on a plate with a hot nail to make a hole and inserted half a ballpoint pen without the rod. All this is sealed with mastic or clay. In the bottle to pour water (for the first time at home, after - from the pipe under the balcony), and squirting the opponent. It was an alternative to expensive and scarce water pistol. By the way, "sikalki" was very cool to quench zhazhdu.



2. Darts

A piece of paper, 4 matches, needle, stationery glue and thread. On the wall hung a homemade rug target of notebook sheet and play. One day my friend and I were playing darts in my house and squabbled. He threw a dart of anger in me and stuck his right hand, and I hit him in retaliation to the stomach.

The street has made a dart of welding electrodes. Honed on the curb one end and another primatyvali pigeon feathers. Throw in wooden doors and derevya.



3. Slingshots

Who remembers the makeshift slingshot? They were of two types: classic and drills. Classic cut from thick hazel branches with fork, buy a gray harness the pharmacy, got a piece of skin (can be cut secret house from travel bag and put the blame on her sister) and all are held together with copper wire or blue izolentoy.

Charge the slingshot smooth pebbles, which is often brought into the yards of the sand, or immature berries such as rowan, plums or cherries, which grow enough of the house. Sometimes the power of the shot rock enough to smash a bottle of champagne from three meters. This slingshot appreciated due to the fact that not everyone has enough skills and resources to its creation. It can be exchanged for other valuables such as inserts from Turbo, CinCin and Final90.

4. Knife

In my opinion, every boy in his childhood was here such a folding knife. It's always been a source of pride. His treasured away from his mother's sight not often carried out. The knife was always in the sand, remember? And all because he was just an instrument for playing "knives» .

Version of the game was a lot, but often played "zemelku", "Tank Battle." Each game had plenty of varieties. For example, "zemelku" Damn circle divided it equally among the number of participants. Each stood on his land. Then he stuck the knife in standing section of the enemy and cut off from their land piece by piece. "Advance" (not stuck) - move into each. And by the same rules we had all the time to stand on their own land as long as you can. On the other - could be outside, but in the event of a catastrophic reduction in your area, the enemy offered you three seconds to stand on it. If you can not resist - it is eliminated. You could even stand on his toes of one foot - hold three main sekundy.



5. Homemade Boomerang

6. Dymovushki

Only our generation knows what is the connection between children's dolls, or a tennis ball, and that's etim.No we know what would happen if the pieces of this special, magical, plastic wrap in foil or paper, and set fire to put out. How many nerves uncles spent in the garage when the roof of them arrive here is chudo.



7. Plevatelnaya tube

Another essential attribute of the boys was a metal tube for spitting plasticine or mastic beads. Get this handset was very difficult, and it is highly valued in the yard. Right on the phone lepilsya large supply of putty or clay, which pinch off a piece and charge the phone. Besides moral damage, such spitting nothing gets in his victim. Later tube was replaced with a rod blank from gel pens and plasticine - millet or buckwheat.



8. Porohovushki

We mined near Zavolzhskaya dump that in the area of ​​Krasny Yar, near the sewage. Valorous a military arsenal overthrown under the open sky zhёltenkie these things that we collected. And once we brought the sand into the yard. Not just sand, and with a tubular powder. Of course, its concentration was low, but you could gain 15 minutes a handful of gunpowder. Apparently, kamazist decided not to bother with the sand and his cherpanul near landfills. So go to a landfill for a dozen kilometers away, we no longer had - Arsenal appeared right under the windows.

What do we do with him? Yes, a lot of things: wrapped in foil, burned and shot in the foil turned into a missile. Just burned, they made wicks for the flash-bangs and so dalee.

9. Carbide

Who remembers the magical stones with a specific smell that bubbles in the water? Carbide - a joy for those who found him for the whole day! Caring shook out his welders from their tanks right there where they worked. Often in the yard. And a bunch of useless white rot certainly was sought several strong calcium carbide stones! When combined with water, it was reacted and allocated a wonderful gas - acetylene. It is remarkable that the well-lit.

Which not only used as carbide. And just throwing in a puddle, setting fire to it. And warmed his hands, clasping her hands carbide submerged in a puddle. And puts it in a bottle with water, plugging the plug ... But the most efficient use of carbide was hand pushka.

They took the empty bottle from under a deodorant or dichlorvos, cut his neck, were doing at the bottom of the hole, put into carbide, heavy spit on him, and stopped all the holes, shaking moment, open the tray and a lighted match to the small holes - a volley!

I have an older brother told me that in his childhood they were whistled a carbide tank and poured it into the drain well of water. They closed the heavy lid with a hole and waited for half an hour. Then one boy brought his match to the hole. There was an explosion that knocked a few glasses in the house next door, the lid flew up, hitting the first guy on the chin, and then covering it up a bit in the fall. But the worst thing - he received severe burns face, the scars of which remain for life - I saw his picture in the adult zhizni.

10. Lead

How much of this word for the heart of child ... merged and blended in a literal sense. Remember how prowled along the garage, scoured Car junk yards in search of old batteries? Split them and extracted pure lead, knocks a dried electrolyte and crumbled soft metal in tin or in a bowl, make a fire and wait until the liquid in the pot shine metall.



And then fill it in the form of clay and doing everything your heart desires. From the fist to toys and trinkets. This is dangerous, and can be poisoned after inhaling vapors of lead, especially if it smelt doma.

11. Magnesium

Crushed in a file we magnesium powder mixed in a certain proportion with potassium permanganate, which cost a penny at the pharmacy, and wrapped in a tight paper bag, wrapping more duct tape. We are doing a hole and screwed to match it, so that sulfuric head turned right in the hole. It turned out something like etogo.

Strike sharply on the match boxes and sharply cast aside. A package with a deafening noise and a bright flash of exploding.

I also liked to organize various experiments with magnesium home. For example, I put it in acetic acid and collected in a jar catching bubbles of hydrogen. Then match the hydrogen ignited. He burned with a ringing sound. Or set fire to the powder magnesium pinch and quickly threw it into the water. Magnesium hydroxide, resulting in a violent reaction from the burning, sublimated to the ceiling and fell out white flakes as snow. By the way, never try to extinguish burning magnesium or titanium water - will be an explosion of hydrogen and oxygen.

12. Crossbows and Pugachi

From the usual sticks or pegs simply going to match a crossbow or a pop gun. They shoot burning spichkami



12. Slate in the fire

I think you can easily remember, what happens to the slate in the fire. That's right, no good - he strongly shoots. Cusco. Yes, at times, so that the original fire remained little. Shooting slate just throwing it aside. To the delight of nam.

14. Lamps and kinescopes

Sin was not a break in the trash discarded fluorescent tube. They are broken down with a loud bang, if you throw the lamp on the asphalt ends. On the ecology did not think. But the find in the trash was extremely rare, and always brings great joy malchishkam.

Cast lots who will throw the first brick in the upper tube (CRT ray gun). She was the most vulnerable point of the tube. When the lamp was broken - picture tube due to internal vacuum collapse into a very dull bang, echoed in the yard. The neighborhood boys immediately came running to look at this action. But often we have found kinescopes with a broken lampoy.

15. Flying Bolt

A simpler way to make a "bang" was a twist of the two bolts and nuts attached to all this package as a stabilizer. I also did such a thing, but without the package. Just throw on the asphalt. And he received shrapnel wounds as a result of a finger ... The BTF made mini-operation without the knowledge of her mother. It is much later found hidden extract from the trauma center of shrapnel wounds. Was shok.

16. Cartridges for siphon

Used cartridges for gazirovalnyh devices (siphons) are also sometimes went to work. They are stuffed with sulfur from the matches and closed the bolt hole. Then he throws a hell of a device in a fire. I must say that this piece was the most dangerous invention yard boys. Once all the students of our school was removed from school and sent to the funeral sixth-grader, a splinter of the balloon which has damaged the carotid artery. First I did not have time to come.

And another friend was left without two fingers when a balloon filled with grinds on electric emery wheel. Personally, I've never done such a balloon, and other categorically sovetuyu.

17. Fixing

I think our generation is easy to explain the relationship of these items. Plug in hammering a brick pavement, removed, crumbled into a hole matches, inserted dowel and threw a brick on top. Wham! And a piece of asphalt is gone. Matches worth 1 penny for boxes and freely bought in magazine.

18. Cases

Empty shells from ammunition also were in business. They are stuffed with sulfur from the matches are bent by the neck and into the fire. Personally, I did efficiency suggestion tucked sleeves and petrol lighter. Bach is not so much, but effectively. Instead of gasoline could fill diesel fuel, which can be easily drained from the tar kollayderov.

19. Cartridges

Occasionally someone appeared cartridges such construction, which is charged in the construction gun hammering dowels. Also went to the fire. But more interesting was their thick winding wire and holding it for the long end of the capsule to knock on the corner of the transformer station. Cartridge Babakhan and deploy "a rose».

The boys, who were involved in biathlon, sometimes at home were carried out here are patrons of the "melkashki." Of these, just removed the gunpowder, the benefit of the bullet can be easily removed with pliers (idiots were) .

20. The pistons

Who had the gun, who shot such pistons? But it was interesting to strike sharply on the brown spots something sharp and watch as they ignite. Or even more interesting: roll roll bars and recoil from it with a hammer. Ringing in the ears for 10 minutes was obespechen.

21. Gun

Everything was the same legal weapons factory production. Remember, he shot?

22. Capacitors

In the fifth grade school craze swept the radio parts. Capacitive TV capacitors (2000 uF 100-300V) is charged from the 220 volt outlet and used as a stun gun at his friend.

Circuits smaller type of resistors and diodes, textbook hammered into the outlet, which led to such a normal burst with a sheaf iskr.
