When I was younger, we used to make bottle rockets with rolled up paper closed at the front, and we used only the tips of strike anywhere matches.

Controlling direction of flight once it left the bottle was not possible, so you had to have really good reflexes and feet.

The rubber band guns we made with clasp type clothes pins for the trigger and regular clothes pins for ammunition were upgraded by putting light nails in the head of the regular clothespins.
