This, I remember.

We also made miniature slingshots out of fashioned bits of coathanger and rubberbands and would shoot eachother with uncooked popcorn kernels. In class, of course.

For us it was strips of paper rolled up super tight and bent across a rubber band. We called them wasps and a well-aimed wasp could give you a sizeable welt.

The funniest thing is you couldn't react or you'd get busted. Like the worst case of giggles in church.
