Kids from the US would get into big trouble if they did this now

I use to grab big sticks and swing them around like I was Guts from Berserk

so if one didn't recognize this does that mean their mom just gave birth to a fully grown 18 year old?

Kids in the US still wouldn't get in trouble for that unless they were at school pointing it at kids or something. Kids can do whatever they want at home

Well I am sure those who didn't still had a childhood, but I played this too. Don't forget rubbing these on the pavement to make spears.

I did this all the time with all my neighbors... We had about 20 kids on three streets together. We'd wake up at sunrise and stay outside until dusk, I know it sounds cliche but it was very fun

I did this too. We found longer ones and used them as rifles. We all followed my oldest cousin and walked around the backyard woods playing "Soldier". Which involved a lot of "pews" and ducking behind trees.

Hell yeah, we'd play star wars with these sticks until an Adult came and made us stop

Hnnngh. It's physically impossible to not have a childhood. You're a disgrace OP

No, thats not true

that first one is a rifle, lee enfiled or some kind of shotgun
