Agree....
Kinda reminds me of the toys we use to make at school from materials found
at school.. Use to make one shot muskat guns with a bicycle spokes and other
readily available materials. Making the perfect dart in class using pencil
erasers supplied by teachers (my teachers had it rough). Making polish
canons. Don't think parents want me posting exact instructions but point is
we adapted to what we could find so we could raise hell. Couldn't expect us
to bring such things to school.. I think it's fair to say in your
scenario, yes, definately would find a way...
