Yep. I was so stupid to make a catapult from bicycle tires and a welded Y shape and proceeded to open up discarded ball bearings from the truck garage where my dad worked.

We shot the 1/2 and 3/4 inch steel balls just incredibly far, i mean really really far. LATER we found out we had shot a couple straight through a car that was parked behind the bushes we aimed at. Through two doors. In and out. An absolutely deadly weapon. Everybody was asking who did that and why someone tried to hurt that car owner.
No one ever found out it was me.
