I remember kids with meter long rip cords and giant knock offs and extra large metal disks that terrorised the playground back in the day lol. There were also kids with knock off metal disks with flints that spark when 2 bayblades hit each other so that was cool.

I remember one kid saying he was going to attach razor blades or sharpen the fins on his Beyblade. I also remember seeing him crying the nurse's office the next day with his hand bandaged.

Knew a guy who sharpened his fingernails before a fight. Realized his mistake when he hit someone with his fist and cut himself up. Poor planning .

Sharp the left hand nails and punch with the right hand

Oh dear, I remember that episode of Oz! Sharp nails are lethal.

Get discs of steel and ferrocerium. Even more sparks than flint!
