    Pop guns were and are still very
    popular among the boys of this
    locality. This is how a pop gun is made
    A piece of an elder bush is got and the
    pith is brought out of it with a knife and
    a gimlet. Then another piece of elder is got. This
    is called the stock. A piece of paper is put into
    the hole. Then wind is put in after the paper
    and while the wind is within another piece of paper
    is put in. Then the stock is pushed and off goes the shot.
