They had a "shooting gallery" on the Seaside Heights boardwalk when I was a kid. Rifles held 12 shots or 6 from a S&W 17 or 18, 25 cents. I always went for the handguns. Motorized metal ducks on a chain and such. The bullets were sort of "masonite" and very fast, like 1600 fps. In the evening the operator shoveled the mountain of "waste" into a wheelbarrow for disposal. Today in NJ they'd have a "jump squad" response over that. Joe
